Indeed. It's amazing the one note characters that grabbed hold of the fan imagination and somehow continue on for no explicable reason. I think if even SNW did an episode around the story I would turn it off without question. It's just poison now.
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

Why? So we can all watch him lose? It would be a waste of everybody's time.
Did anyone for one second suggest he was connected to Alec Peters or Axanar?
I’m not familiar with his work but I did see a comment on the Facebook post suggesting as much. I never suggested for a second he was sticking his hand out. I also wished him the best of luck. Something I sincerely meant.
My post, up until my last line about wishing him luck, was meant primarily as a joke.
Try being someone whose given name is "Garth". You have no idea of the hell I took from the other kids the day after that episode originally aired.
It’s actually a cool-sounding name in general to me, but I guess times change.
The episode is not the problem. If it didn't exist and somehow the production team Alec Peters financed had made a smash hit of "Prelude to Turnabout," Peters would still bilk desperate trek fans by promising the further gripping adventures of Janice Lester. Alec Peters, as always, is the problem.
My only gripe with the Darren Hann production is that it's another Garth production that's too timid to go toe-to-toe with that paper tiger. I say, if you want to take down Axanar, film your own Axanar.
I was kinda hoping for a Short Trek or something to give us a canon version of Garth and Axanar, just for the petty kicks. But another fan film does Axanar before Axanar? That'll do.
apologies that my post sounded that way.
He can't sue. Peter's has no legal standing WRT ANYTHING Star Trek. (And if he tried, that would be a clear violation of the CBS/Axanar settlement agreement as part of said agreement is Peter's CAN'T claim copyright on anything Star Trek.I’d almost suggest Peters would try a lawsuit here but I think even he would have a hard time coming up with cause. “This guy stole my idea for a fan film for something I already got sued for stealing?”
Even Peters isn’t that moronic…
Unless…?
Seriously, I wish the production the best of luck. I imagine we’ll see this before we see Axanar.
"Whom Gods Destroy" was wanting in many ways, but it was anything but forgettable.
No. It's all ego: to play supposedly the Greatest Starship Captain Evah!
My god, people, it was a joke!
To be honest, Peters IS probably stupid/arrogant enough to try it.
Replace "probably" with "possibly," and that's the thing, or one of them anyway. Poe's law exists for good reason.To be honest, Peters IS probably stupid/arrogant enough to try it.
Decker. Stone. Even Mendez. Garth is just a patient. I watched that episode once and only remember the Andorian.
So, "Whom Gods Destroy" has an epic title, Batgirl, and Master Po, not to mention Ihnat hamming it up. It beats me how anyone could call it "forgettable."
