Hey All,

1) For those who aren't aware, the litigation that was thrown up in front of Star Trek: Axanar has been dropped, and a scaled-down version is going into production. This IMO is very uplifting news, as it restores focus on the original series canon and disregards the J.J. Abrams reboot.

Star Trek Axanar Wiki
"On January 20, 2017, the parties announced that the lawsuit had been settled, with Alec Peters and Axanar Productions promising to make "substantial changes" to "Axanar" and agreeing to abide by Paramount's and CBS' "Guidelines for Fan Films." Under the terms of the settlement, the filmmakers will be allowed to release two 15-minute movies, instead of their planned 90-minute feature. The films cannot be shown with ads."

2) Rumor has it that the new corporate (CBS) series Star Trek: Discovery is a shambles. Check it out, but keep a barf bag handy.

I submit that the smart thing to save the franchise would be to buy Axanar, hire the creative team behind it, and turn that into a regular series.
