Hey, I agree with you. I was absolutely not on their side. Trouble is, everyone around here was. Just read some of the comments on any of the articles they ran about it. The commenters were, on the whole, extraordinarily pro-Axanar, very anti-CBS and Paramount. I got into more than one protracted fight with some very

Probably because you’re wrong about the value you’re getting from it.

Didn’t I read that Marvel is bringing them back? Part of the upcoming revamp?

False equivalence. When you build a house, you have a contract that stipulates the construction will be completed. If the builder decides to walk, you sue. That’s completely different than what we do as writers. If we don’t have it in us to finish a story, we can walk. And yes, it can cost - the goodwill of fans, the

I’m perpetually in the grays here because I don’t kiss enough of the writers’ asses here. I can’t help but call out Trendacosta and Bricken, both. Every now and then someone will bring me out of the grays, and that’s nice. But no writer here will ever, ever elevate me.

I disagree. I think they’d be pissed off about, and nitpicking every minor problem of, any new Star Trek show on CBS. Because after what they considered the travesty that was the action against the production of Axanar, the writers here (and a massive portion of the commenters) decided they just fucking hate CBS and

There’s literally never been a Star Trek television series that hasn’t had a chaotic production process.

Again with this shit? Seriously?

You can feel that way if you want, and all I can assume from that is that you’re not a person who creates things for a living.

This is because it is having trouble paying billions of dollars in rights fees while also losing millions of subscribers to cord-cutting.

You are correct, so far as if he makes a public promise and fails to deliver, we may decide not to buy a future product that he puts out. Beyond that, whatever contract you think exists between writer and public apart from “you may buy whatever book is currently available” is a figment of your imagination. And that

18 replies so far, and only one of them complaining that he needs to get back to work. I’m impressed. People are getting better, it seems.

He has poisoned his reputation with his ego and toxic personality

Actually, I don’t give a shit about typos. I misquoted you. I made an error. You didn’t say “it would be very to take out”, I simply mistyped what you said.

Then yes, we’re entirely in agreement :)

...with absolutely no consequence except the expenditure of time...

And I’ll give your unverified assertion that “it would be very to take out” exactly as much consideration.

He’s not even trying to hide it anymore, is he?

On that we agree - we do need to be studying these things now. And we are. Where I have a problem is when people like Stone write these doomsday articles and push a dangerous agenda of “everything on the table, and we have to do something immediately” - because she’s not talking about long term study and

They are now, yeah. When the movie first came out, they sold out really fast, people had a hard time finding them, and everyone assumed that Disney/Lucasfilm simply wasn’t making any toys at all out of one of the film’s three lead characters because of sexism.
