CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Wait. Martok is running as Mark Twain for Congress?

*falls through the looking glass*

 

I guess he figures if Al Franken can get elected . . .

 

If Mark Twain is 12 feet deep, Peters is a parsec short of a Buzz Lightyear.

 

Except Al Franken spent years talking about politics on the radio and presented himself as a serious candidate.

I suspect Playing Twain isn't gonna be a winning campaign.

 

The fact that he's a Harvard graduate, has written seven books (mostly about politics), and can draw all fifty states freehand didn't hurt either.

 

I would settle for AP to just go away and do something productive- like selling used cars.

While this has been a fun train wreck to watch, the collateral damage is horrific to the fan community.

He does not deserve conversation- even 'haters' feed his ego since he craves the spotlight no matter who is aiming it.

He needs to become a trivia question-
'Who single-handedly destroyed the Star Trek Fan film industry while spending 1.4 million given to him under false pretenses?"

 

As someone with a Tesla Model 3 pre-order, that still strikes me as harmful, because used car salespeople are the ones lobbying to keep Tesla stores out of many states.

 

This would be under - Star Trek Fans - as the $100 question in Jeopardy...

Question - Who is Alec Peters ?

 

Um, he's an American Basketball player.

 

The Suns really needed him.

 

According to FanFilmFactor Tony Todd is not happy with the bloopers being released:

That would be full of win if it was on "Jeopardy".....

 

"What is a con man?"

The blooper reel is only be released with footage of Alec Peters. Expect it in a week or two.

 

Frankly, I think Terry is aching for a lawsuit, and I think fandom has had enough of them.

 

Yeah, we've moved on from that...it's just going to be Alec failing as an actor.

 

I fail to see how it's more ethical to release Alec Peters' footage than it is to release Tony Todd's footage. Actions don't become more ethical based on how much you like someone compared to someone else. That's not how ethics works.

Besides, this is just going to make Alec more sympathetic by allowing him to portray himself as a victim who was sabotaged from within. Why would anyone want that?

 

Because Alec has been using Todd's image to fundraise for Axanar well after he left and Alec didn't even mention he left until he was called out on it. Todd also has a career on his own. Alec has no career to tank by being associated with this disaster. They're one in the same.

The only people who will be sympathetic towards Alec about the bloopers are people who are already sympathetic. He's not changing any minds at this point.

 

If it were Tony Todd releasing the Alec footage, it might be a tad hypocritical considering his response to Terry, but at least you could say that turnabout is fair play. So far as I know, Terry McIntosh is not a party to any dispute between Alec and Tony Todd, and he is not authorized by Mr. Todd to seek revenge on his behalf. If he releases the Alec bloopers, it has nothing to do with Mr. Todd and everything to do with his own feelings about Alec Peters.

As for Terry not being worse than Alec, that's a rather low ethical bar. Alec's behavior does not excuse his own. Two wrongs don't make a right, even if the person you're wronging is wrong first.

 

Alec ALWAYS portrays himself as a victim. He's always blameless in everything - it was the OTHERS (a list that grows longer everyday it seems) that either didn't follow through, or he (Alec) was too trusting, or a certain actor suddenly wanted to big of a fee, etc.
