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

So, now you know the answer to this all-important trivial tidbit.

 

This is the only interpretation of Axanar that I can and will subscribe to:

 

Probably for the best. At least right now.

 

I'm not trying to be controversial but 'Whom Gods Destroy' isn't even a particularly great episode that deserves such interest. I don't hate it but when I watched it recently I was reminded how, well, silly much of it was.

 

Except for the fact Yvonne Craig was in it.

 

Well, it's not so much the whole episode. We just want to find the backstory behind a couple of lines of Kirk's dialogue. Think of it like the opening paragraph of A New Hope's opening crawl. You didn't know the nature of the Rebel Starfleet's victory till someone made Rogue One.

 

Indeed, but this is the nature of fandom. To peel back these hinted at historical events and find out more, like why Kirk admires Garth so much. The episode itself is not great, and I don't find much enjoyment from any of it (aside from an Andorian appearance), but the hints at past events is what draws Trek fans interest. Much like Strange New Worlds is offering an opportunity to explore Captain Pike. He was barely mentioned, but still garnered interest because of implied history.

 

And just like Rogue One, it’s arguable if telling Garth’s story at Axanar is even necessary.

(Yes, I know. NO movie is REALLY necessary.)

 

I think Alec Peters was drawn to the character because Garth was someone whom Kirk idolised.
Alec's ego would never allow himself to identify with anyone other than the better of the best.
Also, as James Cawley portrayed Kirk, that would make Alec (Garth) better than him - from a certain point of view

 

To be fair, Mr Hertzler is 71. Yet didn't he have a voice over part in Season 1 of "Lower Decks" (according to IMDb)?

 

uh, no we don't

 

Some of us do. Happy?

 

He's also done a lot of VO for Star Trek Online.

 

To be fair, a lot of Star Trek actors from the previous series as well as the current Star Trek series (All three) have done VO for Star Trek Online.

 

Wait, What ? 7 years ? How long are people willing to wait for this ? Are we talking DUKE NUKEM FOREVER here ? For anyone that doesn't know, it took 10 years for that installment of Duke Nukem to come to light, but THAT actually got made, this on the other hand, highly doubt it...

Still 30 days out...

Where's the movie Peters ?

 

Those of us who preordered Peter S. Beagle's book Writing Sarek in 2005 waited well over a decade before the would-be publisher was sued by Beagle, lost, went into bankruptcy, and, as I recall, lost the rights to any of Beagle's work. No refunds for anyone who waited, and no word from Beagle's camp whether the book will go ahead (or whether any of it was actually written).

 

Yep, if he hadn't slapped the phone out of O'Halloran's hand, it would have likely all splashed on him (O'Halloran) instead.

 

The sunk cost fallacy as well as dissatisfaction with the current Trek output will do that.

 

I don’t see any update on the page you linked.

I see a mention on Twitter tho.
