'Atsa lotta pasta, all those podcasts. Imagine the FTC would need to get inspiration from something specific. Wonder what would float their boat. Perhaps statements that assure donors the IP holder will not or cannot effectively object to specific Axanar activities that are illegal, like reselling Klingon ship models. Anything that clearly shows intent to represent they are legal, when they are not...
I outlined three areas of concern in my email:
1. Misrepresentations regarding the ability of AP to complete the proposed feature film;
2. Misrepresentations regarding "openness and transparency" to donors; and
3. Misrepresenting the project as a "fan film" that would not provoke a legal response from C/P.
Excellent! I'm swooning with happiness over your correct punctuation too. Nicely done.
W00t!
As for Mr. Graham - main thing we know from the G & T end of things is, he has a band. He sent us his music. We're not sure if we'll be able to use it (we ask for formal permission anyway), mainly because it is straight musical parodies. While those are fine, we suspect the YouTube filters would trip.
Anyway, his band is called Sons of Kirk. https://www.facebook.com/TheSonsOfKirk/?fref=ts

So I see that Discovery is to take place ten years before Kirk, so almost exactly the time of the Battle of Axanar. I guess Der Fuhrer Peters may have been onto something when he claimed it was about more than just copyright.
Has he started crowing yet?

Fuller has confirmed that Discovery won't feature the Battle of Axanar, but will tie-in to an unexplored incident mentioned during TOS.
As per Herc from Aintitcool:
"* The series will explore an incident mentioned in the 1960s series. (In the 1969 episode “Whom Gods Destroy,” there’s a reference to a war the Federation was fighting about 15 years earlier.)"

But that doesn't mean, it's about the Axanar incident. That's just Herc extrapolating.

Oh you know until more concrete details come out that LFIM & his sycophants will be bloviating until no end about this.........
Hopefully.
The obvious answer to them would be, look, the rest of us have had to listen to you guys bleat on and on about how that era of Trek is "Real Trek" and the Trek you've always wanted to watch etc etc FOR OVER TWO YEARS! Now that nice Mr Fuller is making some TV shows set around that era so for the love of Worfs beard will you all PLEASE shut up and just watch the damn thing. And, yes, we know you'll have to pay for it* but you've all given money away to Alec Peters and received no Star Trek so why not try giving money to Bryan Fuller and then you'll actually get some Star Trek. A novel approach, aint it?
*Obviously Project Small Access is going to make that irrelevant, though. Isn't it?
The crowing would be akin to some asshole on the Titanic saying, "See, I told you we totally hit an iceberg!"
*Off to watch TOS and find the "incident."
Actually, I think it's even more like - I told you we might have maybe hit something which may have been kinda cold!
Because imprecise predictions are so dang useful.
"Let me be clear..."
Discovery: the Harcourt Fenton Mudd Chronicles
Discovery: all about Janice Lester
Discovery: eye candy shots of the Romulan captain
Discovery: where every meal is composed of multi-colored cubes (pilot special guest stars: Emeril Lagasse and Gordon Ramsay)
Discovery: home of the big green space hand
All I know is that Alec managed to hit EVERY possible "Piss CBS off button", including somehow managing to park his story in the space reserved for a future, you know, licensed and legal TV series. That takes talent.
It's the only talent he has.
I would actually pay to watch this show if they bring back the Big Green Space Hand.
Since we're throwing out random predictions: I think the Discovery's captain will be "Number One" from "The Cage."
Obviously Discovery will be tackling the infamous Noodle Incident of 2356.
