Kang, you took the words right out my mouth. My compliments to you, sir, for such an accurate, colorful, and justifiable, description. Glad to know that there are some Trek fans who still have honor and integrity within them.

Fair enough, but I think we’ve all gotten the point that Farragut Films is a turd factory headed by dishonest, unethical schmucks. I was vastly underwhelmed by S.S. Farragut and Mignona’s ill-fitting uniform anyway, and am saddened to hear that his little tentacle is twiddling other fans’ productions, and am quite confident that New Voyages will knock them into a cocked hat. Your point’s made. Can we move on now?

It was the hookers and blow while he was on Romulus.

Fear not, there are many far, far worse actors associated with Trek.

I see why you were pointing to The Voyage Home now… However, it wouldn’t have been a math lesson, smartguy, it would’ve been a Roman Numerals lesson. That said, I hardly found McCoy’s aging to be particularly realistic… nor Nimoy’s for that matter. Compare Reunification Spock to Abrams’ Spock… he’s the inverse of Chekov. He barely aged for a hundred years, then aged a hundred years in 10.

Oh thanks for the math lesson, genius. Star Trek IV was released in 1986. TNG was released in 1987 and we were told it took place 78 years in the future. Star Trek VI wasn’t released until 1991.

It is the very definition of a fan film, but talk big if it makes you feel better.

That is absolutely false. You know nothing of copyright law. As Mark Twain once said, it is better to remain silent and have people believe you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Oh, well it goes to show that in this economy some people still have money to waste.

Quite simply: pointing out an example in the only way that fans seem to understand these days(without them having to stick their fingers in their ears and yell LA! LA! LA! LA! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!). An example of how some Star Trek fans(who claim to be fans)often resort to lousy and really low measures just to achieve a certain goal or making a point. Or worse lower than low, and ‘less than truthfully’ claiming that they are carrying on the name of Gene Roddenberry’s legacy in both true and good faith.

Honestly, some fans…or purists…are so quick to slam on the likes of J.J. Abrams, just because he crafted a film that wasn’t to some fans’ likings. Fine. So be it. But to constantly slam on his talents or his character in more harshly, negative, if not lower than low, ways?

Granted everybody is entitled to an opinion, but the less than colorful descriptions about the filmmaker and his body of work…well, that’s more like a compulsion, but in a very disgusting way.

Or is it professional jealousy?

The same goes for the infighting between Star Trek fan organizations. Whether they are regular fan clubs or fan film organizations. Sharing a common interest, yet fighting over issues that are far and wide.

Man, with that type of BS, I’m amazed that some purist fans haven’t gone on to make a career in politics. They would make fine Congressmen in a shortsighted way.
