Dave Galanter's quote about Alec Peters' overstatement of the author's involvement in the Axanar script is on AxaMonitor.
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

A tiny bit more: "Doc John" is John Muenchrath--who is, in fact, an M.D. (Urologist). Doc John uses the stage name "John Kelley" (as a bit of an homage to actor DeForest Kelley.). John played Dr. McCoy in our STNV/PII productions since our outset--before being replaced fleetingly by David Sherin and then Jeff Bond. (Doc John also returned to the McCoy role in October of last year for the Axanar vignette "Heroes.")
LOL!! Oh my God...A meme apropos for today, taking one of the corniest lines from Peters' horrendous early draft. Beware...
Nostalgia got the best of me:
Sorry, Karzak, couldn't resist!
Those were the times haters were called "trolls" back then... maybe because their voices sounded sooo sweet?Karzak said:

This should be added into the summary that The Grand Nagus is compiling!
It definitely sums up a lot of feelings that we here are having on this matter!
Personally, I'm greatly amused that Justin Lin (like the vast, vast majority of the Trek community) is not following this case with any interest.
Uh-oh. This guy's been paying attention, though...
Guess, there'll be no longer cause for concern... on either side, that is...

A theoretical question for posters: What will you do if Paramount/CBS settles the lawsuit, and gave support towards the production of Axanar? Either by just allowing the project to continue, or actually getting involved with the project, and releasing it as a sanctioned project.
I know this is a largely anti Axanar thread, and I myself have mixed feelings about it. I am a supporter of many fan projects though, and still want to see this project, and others continue to be made. Without delving into the "fan film politics" and issues with members of the team. How would you feel if Paramount changes their tune? Also how would you feel if Paramount, decided to start going after all fan productions.
As a donor of Axanar I will enjoy my perks and watch, as someone who remembers how long and how many delays without as excuse have been made, like in October when filming was supposed to start
And another very important question if you have the time and logic.... Who would win in a footrace; A Klingon or a Vulcan???
As a donor I'll watch and enjoy my perks, but I don't see that happening, I doubt CBS/P wasted time and money to bring this suit to allow Axanar to be made or to actually work with them. They have proven they can't deliver a completed product. I'm not talking about Prelude to Axanar. I'm talking about August 15, 2015 Captain's Log to we have a locked script it's been priced out and we're set to go. To your Honor there is not script. Alec and Rob lied to the donors or they lied to the court which is it?
No way in hell The Big Boys let this movie get made, much less make it canon.
I expect we'll find out soon enough.
I never once heard a podcast that Alec and Rob didn't say we're not make just a fan film, "We are making and independent Star Trek film" Rob always added "To equal anything the studios have done." They also talked about how CBS/Paramount were the IP owners and if they say stop then we stop.
Yeah they've stopped all right and then the faithful believe that CBS Paramount will settle and then asked them to create the new show??? Really? Wow.

Not sure it mattered who they lied to because they aren't ready.
They've been in the warehouse for more than a year and still don't have completed sets. They have no actors actually signed and they only have a fraction of the money needed to make Axanar.
Even if CBS dropped the suit tomorrow, they would still need at least another year to put the funds together to make the movie.
If they lied to the court, it for damn sure matters. Judges have no sense of humor about that.
Fixed it for ya.
What I'm about to say is just a variation on the thoughts of a lot of others, but I think more than anything else, their lack of experience caused the runaway train to nowhere. Someone should've looked at all that money they brought in and say, "OK, let's do it!" Seems no one was "in charge enough" to know exactly how or when to do that.
I'm dating myself, but it reminds me of Eldon on "Murphy Brown". Never knowing when to stop. Always a work in progress.

I was talking about our little world. I can imagine a judge wouldn't find the changing narrative... irritating.
Guys, we've discussed this for 602 pages and no one has hit on Alec's real plan to defend this lawsuit:
He's going to shape-shift into Les Moonves' wife and lure him into a cellar. After padlocking the door, he'll shape-shift into Moonves and tell the CBS lawyers to drop the lawsuit. Then he'll return to Ares Studios and shape-shift into a competent writer to redo his entire script.

Ok, I was with you right up until that last thing.
Whatever you are smoking, may i have some...?
Sorry... Alec's performance in "Prelude to Axanar" was so strong that I forgot he's not actually Garth.
