Star Trek: Renegades

[Trekkin]

I still play them...when I'm camping and there's no internet!

Actually, that's not entirely true. If we're all together in one place, my fiends and I will usually have a game of something. Scrabble, Texas Hold 'em... We even tried 'Star Trek 'Scene It', but it was too bloody hard.

 

[BigJake]

Do people still play physical board games?

Still a good activity for group get-togethers.

Apparently there's a "Game of Thrones" version of Risk out, BTW.

Terry Farrell has had joined the cast or Renegades!

Terry Farrell has had joined the cast or Renegades!

Starting to feel like Renegades is a Star Trek "old folks home". I don't see anything that excites me about this announcement.

 

[BigJake]

Wasn't the strongest of the DS9 cast but I'm fond of Farrell. I'd watch her in something like this.

 

[JD5000]

She would be a strong acting coach.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

It is unacceptable to me that the hottest character's actual SPECIES is a mystery.

Chekov is from russia, always has been.

I SURE hope Teacake was referring to Soval, er,,,Ragnar..

Yep! My favorite Vulcan now with mystery added!

 

[Trekkin]

I was really surprised when I read this. For some reason, I thought I had heard that Farrell had retired after having her son.

 

[Tosk]

I'm happy to have another familiar Trek face added to the cast.

51 isn't old.

Just ask the Shat.

 

[Zaminhon]

I believe it when they say 50 is the new 30. She's hot.

Be nice to see her onscreen again (usual script/direction caveats notwithstanding )

I am excited about this.

 

[K'Toska]

Mmm yes. So excited.

Agreed.

Getting back on the topic of Renegades:

It seems that those cheeky chaps from Renegades are running a little side project.

Renegades: Destiny Aurora Chronicles-Miniatures Board Game (It's on Kickstarter, otherwise I'd link to it.)

Thoughts?

The obvious question is...

Is it really legit to sell merchandise based on your fan-film?

I never would have thought so.

The word "Star Trek" doesn't appear anywhere in the kickstarter, but no matter what creativity went into Renegades, its setting IS the Star Trek IP. It can't really exist outside of it, and any for-profit enterprise based on the Renegades IP is by extension profiting off of CBS' IP.

Star Trek Farragut was for a while though could find no history as to if they received a C & D or not.

It is likely a gray area, as they were using their own personal designed items (they designed an original patch for their ship) and such, rather than anything that said "Star Trek" on it.

Obviously, if CBS feels it is losing money, then the letter comes out.

Hollywood law is weird. I mean, whoever thought you could trademark an adjective like "superhero"?

 

[Trekkin]

Trust me - all law is weird. Hollywood just gets more convoluted because it's mostly common law. You can't just look up a statute and get an easy answer, you have to research precedent.

 

[dswynne1]

Besides the script needing to be fine-tuned, they should use the established "future" uniforms seen in TNG's "All Good Things" and DS9's "The Visitor".

Apple tried to copyright "I" as part of the I-Pod, Pad, Watch, glasses, car, stuff they are doing.

It didn't happen but that doesn't mean companies will not try.
