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

And sushi.

 

This is not exactly news news, but on April 28th they did post a link to "world premiere" version of the Axanar trailer. No date though, and about five seconds of black screen at the end where I feel there should be something:

I think it is mostly the same as the trailer they released before.

 

wish the entire thing would just disappear but alas the scam continues

 

I bet Alec's ordering a shitload of masks right now with the legally distinct Axanar symbol on them

 

Just switch from Trek to Star Wars. You don't have to worry about masks for the stormtroopers!!

 

Yeah, but then the Canadian police would arrest them.

 

Did somebody say pie?!

 

I think that needs to be this thread's official theme song.

 

Every time I see some tidbit on Axanar, I ask...

 

Every time I see this topic reawakened I paraphrase Simon & Garfunkle, "[It's] just a habit. Like saccharin".

 

Where there is light, there will be shadow. If there is a Yin, there is a Yang. As long as Axanar has its detractors, it will also have its supporters. So long as the supporters sense your hatred, they will rally. Alec cannot play the victim if there's no one to cast as the perpetrator. "Live free, don't join."

 

Interlude Confidential 8 is out:

The bridge does look like it's been considerably improved with more unique graphics on all the screens, as opposed to the same small handful of graphics repeated everywhere. Their set designers are doing a reasonably good job there, at least.

The shots of AP glaring intently into the camera is a bit unnerving though...

 

Not sure what to make of the uniforms. Going for something like DISCO's?

 

They’re horribly tailored and the collar opening is way too big. I like the black side panel, but aside from that there’s absolutely zero interesting about them at all.

 

Wait, are they still filming during the pandemic, with everybody close together and face to face with no masks?

That's not just unnerving, it's downright terrifying.

 

No, they finished filming a few months ago, before the lockdown.

 

You might be right about the tailoring, but I think the uniform overall needs a stiffer fabric as well. The more seams you have, the better your tailor has to be.

The collar would work if there was more structure to it. It looks like they're trying to do Number One's collar from "The Cage", but that collar is the same color as the primary tunic color, not black. Even then, though, I didn't care for that frumpy collar (although, to be fair, the Axanar version is slightly more tidy).

 

Not to go off topic but give me credible sound production, actors that can deliver a line, a score that doesn't blast trumpets over dialog, a camera person that can frame a shot, vfx, lighting, sets, an enjoyable story based on more than a few words from a sixties style script and the cut of the collar is the last detail I'm concerned about.

 

Actually, this got me interested in what microphones they're using, but it's so difficult to tell that the only mic I can say for sure that they're using is a Blue Yeti. One microphone looks suspiciously like a Sennheiser MKE 600, but the others are almost entirely covered by windscreens. Anyone know what mics they're using?
