Headline News for December, 2015

December 31, 2015Major New Release from  Star Trek: Nature's Hunger, Season 7 Episode 1 (or Episode 7.1) "Scorned at the Captain's Table," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_SL5zF6No (21:14).  For all prior releases and much more about Star Trek: Nature's Hunger see http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/44.html 



On December 30, 2015Axanar was served, not with a Cease and Desist letter, but a lawsuit.  Here is the complaint:  http://www.scribd.com/doc/294302930/Startrek-Lawsuit .  Please note the contrary to press reports, the primary complainant is Paramount, who is joined by CBS.  Axanar had kept in close contact with CBS to try to avoid going outside of what was permitted, but not Paramount.  I am primarily discussing this at Star Trek Reviewed on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/startrekreviewed/ .  I realize not all of my readers are on Facebook, and I will pick a place here for discussion as well.  I also note that two other fan film groups' films were removed by You Tube earlier in the week, Star Trek Renegades and Starship Saladin.  Star Trek Renegades was up again as of New Year's Eve.  Saladin will be down until the showrunner does not feel he is likely to be sued.  The Axanar links will be on the Axanar page, http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/14.html .  Saladin page has been altered to reflect the fact that their films were taken down.
