If anyone owns that after CBS, it’s FASA, not Peters or Jenkins in any scenario.
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
Too bad FASA isn't around to complain to CBS. The "Four Years War" storyline was in there first. And FASA was licensed.
As I was reading the Axamonitor report, part of me was thinking "they're going to do a nine part documentary about a film that hasn't been made?"AxaMonitor Daily

Hopefully this will finally shut him up (if not put him behind bars where he belongs).............
Have Alec said anything about who the new director is?
As for the stuff Jenkins shot not being very good, I have to wonder what they'd be saying about it if Jenkins was still working on it.

Me after reading the settlement and all the new information..................esp. the UK hitman part.

I was convinced the settlement included something about CBS keeping away from Garth or Axanar since it was never mentioned in Discovery, and that it had to be more favourable to Alec than he deserved, since he carries on.
Turns out he just broke every term in the CBS/Paramount agreement and continues to do so

Reading all those documents, I'm reminded of a quote by Harold Livingston about his battles with Gene Roddenberry over the dueling versions of their TMP scripts: "When something's good, you don't piss in it to make it better."
Alec had a real chance, working with Paul Jenkins and his company, to get Axanar made in some form. And he just could not stop himself from screwing it up. I don't even think it's part of a deliberate plan to keep the scam going; he can follow the Fandom Menace playbook of stoking middle-aged fanboy rage at the new official Trek productions to keep the money coming in. He just cannot stop himself from crapping in his own hat.
This would be a fascinating subject for an E! True Hollywood Story if Alec had ever gotten within sniffing distance of Hollywood.

Funny to see the means Peters will go to, to protect his gravy train.
Indeed. I had no idea he had this little cabal of brown shirts to do much of his dirty work, and that he was not above getting his own hands dirty as the case required.
Are the people he threatens really a danger to his gravy train, though? It seems to me like the vast majority of the Axanar faithful can't be swayed by facts or logic. It seems more likely that Alec just can't handle anybody saying anything about him that's not 100% complimentary; he can't stop himself from hitting back. Reminds me more than a little bit of a certain Cheeto-tinted serial tweeter who's always in the news.
I agree that I don't think any of those people really threaten what he has going. But who knows what is actually going on inside his head at this point? He's gone full Jesus-on-the-cross now.
Not a perfect plan, as there are plenty of middle-aged fanboy ragers - myself included - who have just as many problems with Axanar as we have with 25%-Trek...and dealing with Alec's bullshit is what inspired about half of us to this state.
Paul Jenkins is not a party to the settlement, therefore he isn’t bound by its confidentiality. As a reporter, I am not either, plus I’m legally entitled to quote anything that is submitted as a public exhibit to a public lawsuit.
How did Jenkins get it? While I can’t reveal that, based on what I do know, competence at keeping things confidential over yonder in the Axa-camp has never been, shall we say, their strong suit.
Unfortunately after reading that the following is clear:AXAMONITOR DAILY

1) Alec Peters has openly violated the settlement agreement in MANY WAYS.
2) CBS seems to not care enough to begin arbitration or further court proceedings that would enforce/enact any of the penalties or remedies outlined for 'breach of settlement'.
^^^
Alec Peters is banking on #2 and so far has yet to be 'burned' by anything he's done WRT Axanar/Axanar Studios since he signed the settlement agreement. And yes, even though Paul Jenkins is mentioning this as part of his defense to Peters' defamation lawsuit - in the end, UNLESS CBS decides to take action to enforce the settlement in a further filing (either to enact and start Arbitration, or whatever means were agreed to, to levy/enforce penalties for 'Breech of Settlement'); nothing will happen to Peters WRT the settlement.
If the Fansets pin makers decide to sue CBS for not protecting their license contract (because of AP’s unlicensed pin merchandise being allowed to continue), CBS will take notice and start to care. Or, at least, they should if they’re smart! Methinks they may be dangerously close to a breach of contract themselves.
For example, I’m sure Fansets and other merchandise licensees pay a metric fuck-ton of money for the privilege of using the Trek license. EVERYONE will take notice if CBS does not act in a timely manner to protect their contracts. Otherwise, what’s the point of buying the license if any fly-by-night operators can come along, undermine the licensing process, and suck money off the IP without paying their vig?
I have to wonder if the merger with Paramount really kind of munged up their legal department to the point they are unable to efficiently act against things like this anymore and it’s nothing more than a roaring paper tiger at present.
