Dude, if Gene Roddenberry had his way TNG would have basically been an hour-long Picard speech while a full-on porno happened in the background.Huh. So a TNG porn parody was fine, but a Dr. Seuss parody wasn't?

Or a full on porno with Picard giving a speech in the background.Dude, if Gene Roddenberry had his way TNG would have basically been an hour-long Picard speech while a full-on porno happened in the background.
Having read his Tarzan script I can tell you the sex wouldn't be in the background.Dude, if Gene Roddenberry had his way TNG would have basically been an hour-long Picard speech while a full-on porno happened in the background.

Sex is always better when it's front and center.Having read his Tarzan script I can tell you the sex wouldn't be in the background.
Gene must have talked with Phillip Jose Farmer.Having read his Tarzan script I can tell you the sex wouldn't be in the background.
That was pretty funny - I almost thought you were serious there for a minute!CBS really doesn't have any rights to block Axanar or to produce Trek Discovery for that matter, legally speaking.
CBS has some pretty heavy shields around their lawsuit...
Article 7: The fan production must be family friendly and suitable for public presentation. Videos must not include profanity....
A fan or fanatic, sometimes also termed aficionado or enthusiast, is a person who exhibits strong interest or admiration for something or somebody, such as a celebrity or a sport or a sports team, a genre, a politician, a book, a movie or an entertainer.
Stand by for Red Matter Torpedo strike...Wide angle phaser pattern, Delta-Micron-Three...Fire.
1. Technically speaking, Bryan Fuller was a fan of Star Trek prior to becoming the co-creator of Star Trek Discovery. Which means that Bryan Fuller had knowledge of the Star Trek universe prior to writing for Star Trek and co-creating Star Trek Discovery - Fuller is himself a fan of science fiction, and in an interview said that his favorite series were the 1960s original..
2. You have to know why things work on a star ship.
Article 7 states that the fan production, which Star Trek Discovery is a fan production and not a franchise production, must be family friendly and suitable for public presentation. How CBS is getting around the no profanity clause is that CBS Access is a paid subscription. Meaning? Meaning that because CBS All Access is a paid subscription any content that is considered R rated, swearing, drug use, sexual content, etc. is allowed to be used because children under the age of 18 really don't have legal access to watch the show and or are not allowed to have credit cards or don't have access to credit cards without a parents approval to put allowance money on the card to watch Star Trek Discovery on CBS All Access.
...but
Since CBS All Access has become a free subscription, in part due to the Covid-19 pandemic I am assuming, CBS All Access has lost their shielding around coarse language content in a fan production due to Star Trek Discovery now being freely accessible to the public and since the fan production has used coarse language in Discovery, then Star Trek Discovery is not family friendly nor suitable for public presentation to a child under the age of 18 who might come across Star Trek Discovery on CBS All Access and would become exposed to the coarse language.
Star Trek: Discovery - "Choose Your Pain" has not one reference but two references to the word "p*uck" that is used by Tilley and Stamets which violates Article 7 of a fan production.
Like I stated before, Star Trek Discovery is a fan based production, much like Axanar is and before Discovery became a franchise series, it was in fact developed and presented to CBS by Bryan Fuller who was a fan of Star Trek prior to writing for Star Trek. Bryan Fuller was not brought on by CBS to first learn about Star Trek and then write for Star Trek, he had prior knowledge of Trek that he learned while a fan.
Legally speaking, CBS has no legal claims over the production of Axanar based on the violations that CBS has illicited in the production of Star Trekiscovery.
CBS All Access also forget that Star Trek has many parallel or alternate realities and as such, this strike is within the rights to be struck to ensure the continuity of Trek is pristine along the original timeline which is based on the laws of the Temporal Accords, which are binding literature in the Trek Universe based on such literature being protected by copy rights and trademarks owned by CBS.

No.Wait, I just realized something. Are the Short Treks just CBS's way of letting the cast and crew do fan films, seeing as they would otherwise be prohibited from doing so by the Guideline #5?

This is probably closer to accurate, though I'm sure not the whole story. One of the biggest cries against the 15 minute limit was that it wasn't enough time to tell a story in. Which is patently ridiculous but of course held on to as a sign of how evil and mean CBS is.No, but it was a great way to demonstrate to fandom that 15 minutes was plenty of time for a "Star Trek" story to play out and still be "Star Trek".
"Draconian" was a very popular term used for them as I recall...a sign of how evil and mean CBS is.
What? So now Peters is infringing on "Buck Rogers In the 25th Century" from Universal circa 1979-1980?"Draconian" was a very popular term used for them as I recall![]()
No, no, no, he's infringing on the Draconians on Dr.Who!What? So now Peters is infringing on "Buck Rogers In the 25th Century" from Universal circa 1979-1980?![]()
