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

Where was that? O_o

 

Waiting? Where have you been for the past forty years??

 

I hear that John Van Citters has been made VP of Star Trek development. Good for him.

 

Definitely a promotion but it's VP of brand development. According to his LinkedIn, here's what he'll be doing:

Brand development professional working across divisions within CBS. Primarily working on content development and new brand initiatives ranging from original fiction to gaming to online content and live events. Creative liaison to writers rooms and production teams across the StarTrek brand.​

 

Hopefully, someone can spur John into shepherding the creation of new technical manuals and similar in-universe literature. It's been 20 years since we had a somewhat regular effort of those coming out, the Haynes guides notwithstanding.

 

At times an inquisition even.

 

I'm not asking you to do anything.

 

So why do you care if i acknowledge CBS's contribution or not? Because that's the conversation you were butting into...

 

And with this, I'm out. LFIM and his sycophants have gone from amusing idiocy to pathetic, and I'm not wasting any more time on their lame shenanigans.

Ciao thread!

 

But you'll miss the Christmas pie!

(I'm assuming there will be Christmas pie.)

 

Does no one read up the thread anymore?

 

Why when its turned in to a snipe fest of fans against fans and wishing destruction upon iterations of Star Trek we don't agree with?

 

(Heavy sigh...)

 

Which is completely besides the point, all I meant is that it is still the same people doing the same job, all that changed is the name of the company. You were making it sound like CBS was a different company who came in and took over the franchise, but that is not what happened. What is now CBS Television Sudios used to be Paramount Television, it's still the same company it just changed it's name after the split. It was also CBS Paramount Television for a while.

(Heavier sigh with nose bridge pinch...)

All Right...then I will amend my comment to "I would rather celebrate what they gave me as Paramount Television, because the quality of what they're giving me as CBS television is shit." Does that work?

 

Other way around. Viacom merged with CBS and CBS effectively became a subsidiary of Viacom. Ironically Viacom started as the syndication arm of CBS before spinning off as it's own company in 1971. The company was split in two in 2005. Viacom was renamed the CBS Corporation. So the current CBS Corporation is the same company as the pre-split Viacom.

 

*getting dizzy*

 

Yeah, I almost passed out typing that.
