Gutcruncher posted:"Are you using our IP to make money? Yes? Stop that!" Well they didn't seem to care about a whole bunch of other fan movies - though maybe this is the first one with a big enough budget for CBS/Paramount to actually receive a decent amount in damages? Furthermore, what about the knock-on positive affect to Trek (and thus revenue for CBS/Paramount) as a whole that a successful fan-film, professionally done, could have?

PassTheRemote posted:It's the reason after seeing DS9, I could not stomach Voyager. To me, DS9 was so great, Voyager just made me frustrated and bored. Although once you watch Battlestar Galactica you realise it beats DS9 at it's own game. Also: that Cylon woman who keeps banging that Dr Bashir-wannabe guy, great

http://astele.co.uk/trek/ So just found a repertoire of dodgy Star Trek fanfic on the web, with a huge host of Cardassian stories. My favourite so far is "Just for tonight" featuring Quark and Ziyal getting it on: http://astele.co.uk/trek/stories/ariana/just.txt obviously

Apollodorus posted:Yeah it's like everything interesting about Voyager condensed into 3 seasons' worth of great sci-fi (plus one season's worth of mediocre-to-bad sci-fi). You know I never thought of it that way, but that's actually a really good point. Totally agree about Gaeta, he did a full on mutiny when he broke down and realised he's wasted his life in space-Barbie academy, whereas Kim just went out on the lash with the Varro and got an STI.

The General posted:You'd have to be the bravest fucker alive to fly a fighter in star trek. While they look cool on screen, and had some uses in Starfleet Battles, fighters don't fit into Trek too well. I was always surprised the Federation never really utilised combat drones of some variety.

In the Typhon Pact novels Nanietta Bacco (fed president) is given the options of using Federation Security or Starfleet Intelligence to infiltrate the Breen - she chooses Starfleet saying that "the military is better equipped to pull this one off", so there

Kitchner posted:Those officially non-canon novels you mean? Officially non-canon? Compared to what? Isn't everything non-canon after Enterprise other than the JJTrek movies? Paramount have even gone on record saying that other than the two Jeri Taylor novels, all books and whatever are non-canon. Bearing in mind most, if not all licensed Star Trek authors works their books round the same story/timeline/universe (Typhon Pact, Destiny, Full Circle novels, the entire SCE series et al all work in the same way referencing each other, and that's tens if not hundreds of books), I figure that's the closest thing we have to a canon continuation, unless you wanna consider Star Trek Online's lovely writing canon. Besides, I doubt CBS/Paramount is ever gonna do anything with any of the series characters again, so if all these authors have managed to keep the characters going in more or less the same storyline... they've all fleshed out the Romulan War, the post Dominion War era, etc, that the show never went into or probably has any intentions to go into, so... e: I did forget briefly about that new show Michael Dorn was meant to be working on - when's that gonna be set? Because if that goes completely against the major book's storylines it could be quite comical to see authors getting angry that their work is wasted.

Tried watching B5 once but found the acting was as bad as a first-grade nativity play. Still need to get round to watching Stargate.

I always thought Battlestar had some half-decent acting as sci-fi goes - the guy who played Baltar was really drat good. e: should probably specify, the Ronald D Moore remake of Galactica, not the original series that is shite DarkMalfunction fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 9, 2016 |

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:God drat, that Armin guy has probably spent 1/3 of his waking life in a make up chair. It's crazy to think he just sat down everyday for probably a couple hours of getting quarked for 7 years or so. In that DS9 episode where they all dress up as Klingons and kill changeling-Martok, apparently Colm Meaney complained so much about being in prosthetics that Michael Dorn requested Colm never wore any again. I wonder if Shimerman, Dorn and the like got paid more for having to go through all that?
