CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

[Noname Given]

Which is far, far more than Star Trek can aspire to be these days.

Hardly. I realize you're burnt out on current Trek of late, but please, the current state of the Orville is no better (and no worse) than TNG era and CURRENT Star Trek as well. Hell, if something had been running concurrent to TNG in 1987 that was more 'old school' TOS - we'd have had a similar situation in Trek fandom then too.

Hayward for another month and then I'm retired after 45 years and heading to Idaho.

Coffee date! Lol

Not picking sides, but it's good to see a Montalyep every now and then, in addition to Cumbernopes.

Is there a JanewayMaybe?

I don't know, but I don't think Renegades pitched themselves as making "true Star Trek," or if they did then they didn't push it nearly as hard as Axanar has, unless I'm completely mistaken.

I think the original movie Star Trek: Renegades was actually pitched to CBS as a show, but they were careful to divorce themselves completely from Star Trek once they decided to rebrand as Renegades. I'm scared of Atomic Network and the whole cryptocurrency thing, though. I'd be far more inclined to pay for a straight up streaming service like CBS All Access (in spite of my distaste for the streaming network proliferation that's going on these days).

I think the Renegades makers dreamed they could sell their show to CBS but that's not how Hollywood works. You don't sell a corporate giant something it already owns. And I always felt their "pilot" talk was just a way to suggest they were legit purely for fundraising purposes.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Yeah, that's a totally different angle from "We're doing tru-Trek, not this other junk."

 

[Maurice]

Cumber-Nope works because he delivered "NO-Puh" on Sherlock. When did Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalbán ever reply "Yep" on screen?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

It's not really more complicated than "Yep" being the alternate-universe version of "Nope."

 

[fireproof78]

Perhaps this would be better?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Oh, there's no shortage of alternatives!

They never actually pitched to CBS. I think the whole "pilot" thing was a tax break.

That, and there is only one, true, Khan.

Better?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Better?

I'll step up and be the guy to ask if he actually says that in the film?

 

[Admiral2]

I'll step up and be the guy to ask if he actually says that in the film?

And I'll be the guy that says "I don't think so." That pic looks like it comes just before the first attack on the Enterprise when Khan talks about revenge and it being "very cold in space."

 

[urbandefault]

He might not have said it, but you can hear it in your head. Right?

YESSSS

Still fails the meme test.
