One does have to identify oneself. One must have something to do with fan film production or distribution. In other words, everyone has 'skin' in the game. (STR does help distribution) Most, "infighting and petty drama" is instigated by people who do not meet those criteria. Your unidentified source may be just trying to make your unidentified self feel good about your own unending sniping.
EDIT: I am not going to fight anymore. It's not worth it. It pisses off the moderators here and honestly, it's just beating a dead horse with some of the people in this forum. Apologies for the derail. Carry on.
Sorry to interrupt the group talk but TALKING ABOUT STAR TREK CONTINUES - Wired will be airing a six part documentary on the making of Star Trek Continues episode 3 "The Fairest of them All" starting on Friday, June 13th with the second episode to follow on the next night. You can check it out at: video.wired.com
While I'm looking forward to Episode 3 I hope the series gets back to going forward. Please, no more revisits. I could just see someone suggesting a Gary Seven story. Please, no.
I for one, don't mind little revisits, as long as they aren't too blatant and don't get out of hand. Of course, inserting continuity gratuitously is always a bad idea, but when it works, it works.
^^ Well you can't get much more blatant then what they're doing for Episode 3. By going back to TOS' second season to do a direct sequel to "Mirror, Mirror" they are digging deeper into retconning. Dr. McKennah was said to be new to the ship in the fourth year of the Enterprise's 5-year mission. She certainly wasn't there in TOS' second season. Maybe they'll say in the Mirror Universe she was already aboard the mirror Enterprise only we didn't see her. Even so it's a stretch to envision basically a ship of pirates having a Counselor aboard. Unless, of course, she's something else.
McKennah could easily join the Mirror ship at the start of the episode. Or perhaps she's Spock's Woman. But, yeah, it's a large crew and we only saw a few of 'em.
I'm curious who Kipleigh brown would be playing. In some of the articles it says her name is Smith, in others she is playing a mirror universe version of an existing character... In somewhat related news, a new Star Trek comic book was recently published by IDW and popular artist John Byrne. It uses a lot of photoshopped TOS -era stills, akin to those old 70s photonovels, but it's a new story AND a direct sequel to...you guessed it, MIRROR MIRROR. It's not WATCHMEN by any means, just alright. It'll be interesting to see if anything parallels...
For a sneak peek at Episode 3 check out this video on Wired.com: http://video.wired.com/watch/obsess...rror-mirror-resolution-in-star-trek-continues I gotta admit I'm a bit juiced to see this episode.
Awesome! And looks like we got an answer about Kipleigh, too. Too, it's refreshing to see the Continues crowd in action and how seriously they take what they're doing. Yes. We know.
