Who, what, and when is the real star trek. "We don't want to be told we just want to watch it unfold."

There is no current Star Trek. There's Discovery, which is clearly in the Starfleet Battles universe and not at all Star Trek in tone, lore, or quality. There's Lower Decks, which is just a goofy cartoon people in the Federation might watch, but it's not Trek itself. There's Picard, which is clearly an alternate future. There's JJ-Trek, which is just The Trek And The Furious. Star Trek's IP re-used for bad action movies with no brain or heart. But there is no current Star Trek. The closest thing, spiritually speaking, is The Orville. But that's an homage, not Star Trek itself.

It's a phenomenon of the age. The official owners of various franchises are raping the products they hold. Those halfwits are enslaved to sentiments they IMAGINE they must cater to, in order to do business. They are wrong. On the other hand, fans do fantastic work to carry the torch. Fans who have a correct understanding of the spirit of their favored franchise, coupled with delightful artistic talent. Warhammer 40k has probably been the most active frontier in this war. Another example is World of Warcraft. In Star Wars, too, we can thank especially the Canadian writer Drew Karpyshyn for his work on Darth Bane and Revan. Axanar seems to be it for Star Trek. We shall have great expectations.

I came back to express my sadness at the death of Gary Graham. He added so much to Alien Nation, Star Trek and especially Axanar. You will be missed.

Thanks Paramount for killing this project. As a special way of thanking you, I will take great pleasure in watching pirated episodes of Star Trek series.

Yep. CBS sued them to stop production, then Covid. They worked out a deal to make it into a 30 minute short story instead of a feature length film, but with the lawsuit and all the time I imagine most of their money has dried up by now. We'll see what happens I guess.

Years later and still feel such anger towards CBS for their actions against Axanar. This 20 minute prelude is better than an entire season of Discovery. This team should’ve been hired for the series instead of gilmore girls writers clueless about the franchise.

@KirkJacobsonHere

Your anger is misdirected. In IP law, when someone tries to profit from your property, you lose that IP if you don't defend it. CBS had absolutely no choice because Peters bought himself a highly profitable little studio instead of just making the movie like he promised. It's not like they ever went after Star Trek fanfic before that point.

@k1productions87

4 жыл бұрын

​@@KirkJacobsonHere Incorrect. Firstly that is not exactly how IP law works, you are confusing Copyright with Trademark, not quite the same thing. Secondly, the studio was hardly profitable, building the studio was PART of the original Kickstarter (they spelled it out quite plainly, so anyone who acts all blindsided clearly wasn't paying attention at all), AND the first goal of said studio was to make the film. Why did film production stop? Because there was a lawsuit that demanded ALL operations cease until a judgment was reached. They already had constructed the physical sections of the Bridge (full 360 degree, not back quarter segment like most others), Transporter Room, Captain's Quarters, and elements of hallways and the Klingon bridge. So don't start with this "they weren't working on making a film" horse crap. Thirdly, timing is the key factor. This lawsuit happened as they were announcing the formation of CBS All Access with a new Star Trek as its flagship program. If there was a well made Star Trek (that wasn't just a clone of TOS, or obviously fan-made) then the bean counters figured that casual viewers would get confused, and instead of paying for the streaming service, they would go for this free program that they confused for "real Star Trek." It also so happens that Axanar happened to fall in the same time period that Discovery was intended to be in. Fourthly, they did indeed go after other fanfilm productions. Horizon was "warned" not to make their second film, but their first had already been released for months before, and thus made no sense to sue. Particularly since it was Enterprise-era and thus had no impact upon Discovery. Further, as good as it looked, its total green screen filming still looked relatively amateurish, and could in no way get confused for Hollywood production. And that is the primary point of contention here, what the casual viewer would think "real Star Trek" was. On top of that the disgruntled older fans who felt like the studio was betraying them, and felt these fan productions were closer to Star Trek's roots. Fanfilms getting sued was practically inevitable. Axanar just happened to be the one that fell at the right (or in this case wrong) time. If it wasn't Axanar, it would have been Pacific 201 or "Captain Pike." There was a long list of budding fanfilm projects that had their sights set higher and higher. Final point, if Axanar making money was the issue, they would have been shut down completely. But that was not the case, as the lawsuit settlement allowed them to keep ALL the money they raised AND continue to use recognizable Star Trek alumni. The only guideline they had to follow was the two 15-minute episodes guideline. Look, I know its easier to point fingers at the fanfilm guy than the big Hollywood Studio, but you have to realize that the situation is hardly as black and white as you may think. Much like DS9, it is several murky shades of grey.

You could tell he really was into the roll. If they HAVE to replace I say go with Michael Ironside. He's a great heavy, fantastic voice, has that just little bit of cheese that a Klingon needs to be over the top. He can't be much more expensive than Richard Hatch for two 15 min webisodes that he will probably only appear in for like 5 minutes tops. Someone above mentioned Michael Biehn would probably be good too, he has that serious yet hint of cheese too that would make a Klingon proud and in the right age group and probably price range too.

It’s 21 minutes and 10 seconds of fantastic film that paramount is still struggling to match

Always remember, Paramount/CBS chose to silence this, instead of hiring its creators that opened a window into what made the U.F.P. the galactic power it is. This takes place in the earlier years of Starfleet, which has been referred to by later captains, Janeway in particular. I like the newer shows for the most part, but for them to ignore an opportunity to story tell the initial struggles of Starfleet in the Memory Alpha timeline is not only fiscally irresponsible, but also lazy when it comes to storyline management.

OUCH.LOL. I agree with you Lovitch. 9 mil per episode ??? WOW. They should use some of that money to write better scripts. LOL.

"It was..... _frustrating_ .....to fight Starfleet." I laughed out loud. How am I only just seeing this now?? The contrast with the last few official outings is overwhelming. By what staggering series of errors were these people not hired to make a new series? Four million views here on KZread. Who knows how many more if this had gone network/studio? The idea that an executive would pass on this to slap a once-beloved name on a mediocre action-comedy like _Beyond_ is, well, beyond me.

Not enough diversity to send virtue signal. Jokes aside, Bezos gave green light to The Expanse. He has money, so maybe he could.... You know.... Sci-fi i guess :(

Six fucking years, and still, CBS/Paramount has no answer to this...

They need to buy the movie and let it be shown.

The loss of the original concept of Axanar due to CBS lawsuit is such a significant loss to the Star Trek fan community. It would have been, well Glorious!

I literally write this with a tear in my eyes. This is so much better than anything Alex Kurtzman Jonathan Frakes or Patrick Stewart has done with Star Trek. Those three should be completely ashamed of them selves. I’ve watched Star Trek for over 40 years. It means something to us. It is our escape from realism. It is our hope for the future and our children. There is none of that in modern Star Trek it is dark gloomy sad and has no direction at all. Thank you

Isn't this about war? It seems pretty gloomy to me.

This short prelude is way Superior than the two seasons of Discovery!

That's it?!? I want more Star Trek: Axanar!!!! This puts Star Trek: Discovery to shame! :)

I don't care what they say, the only problem Paramount and CBS had with "Axanar" - is that it was too good! So much better than the trash that was being fed to the Star Trek fan base by CBS and Bad Robot

I think I remember from a documentory the owners of star trek had real worries about the draw of TNG with the movies still going on / still so recent, I can see CBS thining the same with this Project and Discovery. This was everything the fans wanted at the time and I think that scared them, at that point they could have easily legitimised and made it a real poject headed by the Axanar Team if would have given them a lot more goodwill in the comming years but ah well

With all my heart, that you and thank everyone who had a hand in making this... THIS is Star Trek. Makes you care for the characters and leaves you wanting more!

9:08 A line of dialogue so well written, it deserves to be canon.

Such a shame this didn't go into production. This is better than anything CBS has put out in recent years.

What I like most about "Axanar" is that it respects the original series. Too bad that we can't take Star Trek away from CBS because they haven't been a good steward of Gene Roddenberry's vision.

It respects it to a certain point. In canon, the Constitution Class was NOT conceived as a warship necessitated by the 4 Years War; it was actually first launched about two years prior to it. Please do not get me wrong, because I do adore this mini-film and am very glad that it exists. I am just striving to be objective and fair here. P.S. - Where are the solid red, non-transparent bussard collectors and the "spikes" on them?

Still one of the best pieces of sci fi content ever. It is embarassing how bad CBS is.

This is brilliant! It leaves me so hungry for more! The actors in "Prelude to Axanar" are all of top quality and talent! God bless them!

So, fans put together a film like this, and "pros" put together Discovery... please, whenever the next Star Trek series comes out, hire these people. And give the fans what they really want.

I consider this cannon, for sure. I really appreciate the exceptional efforts in this production!
