I got that one too. It also had "buy an Ares Studios coffee mug." I just got another email, apparently they're selling the Christie's auction catalogs, and proceeds to go Axanar.

Next they’ll be burning the studio furniture.
What's the appeal of buying a catalog from an auction that happened years ago?
It's a "collectible".
Why would they do that -- when they could sell it too?
No, that might damage the carpet.
The only one I could think of off the top of my head would be if I was interested in re-creating an object - virtually or physically - and wanted reference photos of the original for the work. Auction photos would be a good source of that sort of material. i would say that's an EXTREMELY limited use case though.
Alec selling the auction catalogs is a classic example of a collector feeling an object has great value because HE (or she) likes the object.
Alec LOVES those catalogs, and thought they would sell like gangbusters. He also has used them (the most notorious example is when he slammed them down on the bar in front of Carlos at Axacon) to show "Look, I made something."
The reality is, not too many people want them, which is why he has to give them away.

Speaking of Axacon, I saw this email the other day, it will be livestreamed 12/8 since they're just "so busy shooting Axanar" it won't be an actual con this year. Instead we get another live stream.
Oh and today's email: buy a USS Ares construction team patch.

Alec is so busy he can appear as a "special guest" on the Axanar Comics (yes it's a real thing) YouTube channel.
Busy producers always take the time to appear as special guests on tiny and obscure YouTube channels.

FWIW, I bought the Christie’s catalogue and the original Propworx catalogue in print way back when, and I was pretty happy to have them. Granted, I bought basically *every* Star Trek book back then because I was doing a website devoted to Star Trek books, but the auction catalogues were a nice complement to the various behind the scenes books that Pocket used to produce then and Titan does now. (Also, as I recall, Alec made the pdf versions available for free early on) So, yeah, there can be an audience for that sort of thing.
I see this was posted on YouTube on Sunday.
I don't think any of the video footage is new. Garths' dialogue sounds paraphrased from "Prelude", but I'm personally not sure I've heard that speech by Kharn before. Has it been used elsewhere?

It does seem to be new. The addition of the Goldsmith Klingon march at the end also sounds new. The rest of it is the usual re-cut of existing footage. I really can't stand AP's voice or lack of acting discipline. Something about it just feels wrong to me.
I’m assuming his narration is his internal monologue that he’s speaking while looking at his old uniform and reminiscing about the past, coming to the “we are Starfleet Officers” crescendo and the look of knowing pride comes across his face.
Falls totally flat.

Have you seen the comic version of Interlude? Everyone's yelling in there as well for some inexplicable reason. I guess it's how amateurs manufacture drama on-screen when they can't actually act.
