Podcasts about star trek axanar

Lolani is the first of the really focussed "issue" episodes of Star Trek Continues. It examines the theme of slavery, but even moreso, the theme of apathy in the face of evils such as slavery. It's a hard-hitting drama that really makes you stop and think. Join me as I delve into this latest episode of Star Trek Continues to see what it's all about. ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven.  I'm Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars. And I am a nerd.   This is episode 96 of the podcast. Today, we're talking about the Star Trek Continues episode “Lolani”   The description on StartrekContinues.com reads A survivor from a distressed Tellarite vessel pulls Captain Kirk and his crew into a moral quandary over her sovereignty.   The teleplay was written by Paul Bianchi With story by Huston Huddleston and Vic Mignogna It was directed by Chris White And it first aired on the 8th of January 2014   And you'll notice that's a good 7 months since the last episode came out. That's the reality of a fan-made web series. This is a show of professional quality, but it's being made by amateurs. It's not their full-time job. They get the work done in the time span that they can. But it meant that each new episode was an event, like a new mini movie coming out. Of course, now, you can binge the entire series, which is great.   First of all, I'd like to say how happy it made me to see this show portraying Kirk as a bookworm. Which of course, he is. I found that the Kelvin universe movies kind of misunderstood Kirk's character, especially his younger self. They portrayed him as this hard-partying bad boy. And I know it was already a new timeline, and the absence of his father explains the differences, but that's not the Kirk we knew in the original series. Young Kirk in the prime timeline was a nerd. He had a reputation at the academy for carrying books wherever he went.   Anyway, Cool to see him so disappointed to have to leave his book behind when the Enterprise picks up a distress call from an unidentified ship.   And cool to see Sulu's viewer rising out of his console. Nice touch.   The ship is Tellarite in design. And this is where we meet Ensign Tongaroa. My first thought when I heard him speak was “Ugh. American's can't do Australian accents.” But I was very quickly corrected when the character says he's from New Zealand.   But he didn't really sound Kiwi to my ears either. Admittedly, I'm not from New Zealand, but we do hear the Kiwi accent, and it has a lot of similarities with the Australian accent. Some definite differences too. Certain vowel sounds come out very differently.   Anyway, I looked up the actor, Daniel Ogan. Turns out, he is indeed from New Zealand. And not only that, as a child, he played Boba Fett in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack the Clones. Which is really cool. Interestingly, in Star Wars, he sounded much more like what I would think of as a Kiwi accent. So I don't know if his accent has changed over time as he's gotten older, or if I'm just talking rubbish and don't have a good ear for these things.   Anyway, it's really cool to have him in the show, and it's always fun to see a fellow Australasian in Star Trek. (and if you're not aware, Australasian is a blanket term that includes both Australia and New Zealand).   There's only one life form aboard, life signs are erratic and life support on the ship is failing. Despite this, Spock is not convinced it would be a good idea to beam the survivor on board. He doesn't really give a reason, other than this being an unknown lifeform.   So what's the alternative, Spock? Just let the person die?   Kirk orders security to the transporter room, which is a reasonable precaution. As Kirk and Spock enter the transporter room, they both say, in unison, “Mr. Scott, you have the bridge.” Kirk remarks at this being strange. And I agree. No explanation is given. Kirk is in command of the bridge at present, so why would Spock get involved?    They're expecting a Tellarite, but instead, they find a scantily dressed Orion woman, an Orion slave girl, threatening the transporter chief with a knife. But she quickly runs into the corridor and ends up cowering near a Jefferies tube, holding the knife. She looks genuinely afraid. And we meet Chief of Security Drake. We never got to know who the chief of security was in TOS. That position didn't really exist in Star Trek lore until TNG. Anyway, the situation is resolved when Spock is able to incapacitate her with a nerve pinch.   She seems a little calmer when they visit her in sickbay later. According to records, she was recently purchased by a Tellarite. She's got some cuts and bruises, and the Tellarite crew are all dead. The obvious conclusion is that she killed them, no doubt due to the way they were treating her.   Obviously, this episode is going to really delve into the issue of slavery. This is the first of the issue episodes on Star Trek Continues. Last episode had some thematic stuff, but this one is very much exploring an issue. We'll see there'll be a lot of these in the series, which is a very Star Trek thing.   The Tellarites were founding members of the Federation. That means we have Federation citizens engaged in the purchase and exploitation of a slave. And that's pretty horrifying. But as we'll see in coming episodes of Star Trek Continues, the Tellarites are a rather problematic member race. Which I think is really interesting. We tend to think of the Federation as this big club where everyone has the same values. But the reality of holding together so many disparate species would be somewhat less utopian. There would be internal struggles. It would be a constant effort to keep this thing together. I don't think that goes against Roddenberry's utopian vision, but it's a much more DS9 kind of take on it. I like it.   There is an elephant in the room when looking at the idea of Orion Slave girls. And that is Enterprise. Enterprise season 4 did an interesting episode that explored Orion Culture more so than had ever been done before. They were practically an untouched species, which is interesting, given that date all the way back to TOS. The big revelation of that episode was that it was the men, not the women, who were really the slaves, due to the women having a pheromone they can use to control the men.   Now I interpreted this a little less literally than it seems the writers of this episode did. The way I saw it was that, yes, technically the women are bought and sold as slaves, but with their powers, they manipulate and control the men, behind the scenes, from a position that appeared subservient. And that idea, I think, is not at odds with anything else portrayed in Star Trek about them.   This episode addresses the issue with Spock explaining that around 70 years ago, Orion women held dominion over men but there was a revolt and civil war. The men gained control. Rather than ending the slave trade, they made it worse.   This dialog is clearly meant to be a way of reconciling this episode, and the rest of Star Trek, with Enterprise. But I'm not convinced it actually works. It implied that the women enslaved the men in a more literal way than I think the Enterprise episode intended to suggest. And I'm not sure any reconciling really needed to be done.   But either way, it's a fascinating concept. Think about it. A civil war between the two sexes. Procreation of the species would be very difficult under such circumstances. And in fact, the only way that the species could have survived takes my mind to a place that I don't really want to think about.   At this point in time, Women are kept uneducated and subservient to keep them from rising up again, and as punishment for the past.   The age-old problem of trying to make a right with two wrongs.   The slave doesn't speak until Dr. Makenna arrives. She reveals her name is Lolani. She didn't know whether the crew of the Enterprise were friend or foe, so she kept silent, and listened. Not a bad way to go. Listening less and speaking more is usually wise.   To add extra tragedy, she was born off-world, but forced back to Orion and into slavery when her parents died. So she has known freedom and then been forced into slavery. I can only speculate, but I suspect that may be even more painful because you'll know what you're missing.   Lolani is played by Fiona Vroom. Fun bit of trivia, Fiona Vroom appeared in Star Trek Beyond as an Orion crew member. So ….. Was that the Kelvin timeline version of Lolani? My headcanon would like to say it is. Beyond came out 2 years after this episode, so I can't help but wonder if her cameo was a deliberate reference to this episode. I believe JJ Abrams was interested and enthusiastic about Star Trek fan productions, and even spoke in defence of the controversial Star Trek Axanar during their lawsuit with Paramount. Who can say, but in my headcanon, in the Kelvin timeline, Lolani had a better life and entered Starfleet. I guess her parents didn't die in that timeline.   Kirk feels like he has rescued Lolani, but Commodore Gray has some bad news for him. According to Orion law, Lolani reverts to being the property of the one who sold her, once her owner dies. The Orions are not members of the Federation (they'd never qualify while they support Slavery). The owner has been notified and is already on his way.   This kind of thing is a very real problem in our world. Different nations have different rules. If we want them to respect our laws, we have to likewise respect theirs. Even if we disagree with them. But what if one of their laws is something as immoral as slavery?   What it comes down to, as the commodore admits, they can't afford an inter-stellar incident over one person.   Mackenna and Lolani talk as they walk through the corridor. There's a lot of echo in the dialog in this scene. A rare moment when the ameteur nature of this show peeks out from behind the curtain, perhaps. There was also something about the acting at the start of this scene that didn't quite work for me somehow. Mackenna explains that while there are some generalised differences between males and females, people in the Federation are treated as individuals. They are not defined by their gender. There are a whole bunch of different things that make up a person.   We get a very 60s TV moment when they arrived on the bridge all the male crewmembers stare with googly eyes. Now, the sight of an attractive woman wearing very little clothing IS distracting. I can't deny that. That's just biology. But when you're at work, you don't ogle people like this. I'd have expected the crew of a Federation starship to show a little more professionalism than that.   I don't think Scotty is flirting with her when he takes her to see his station. I think he's being friendly, but also he sensed that Mackenna needed a moment to speak with Kirk privately.   Spock has found physical evidence that Lolani was involved in the death of the Tellarite, and likely is the killer.   Kirk is subtly encouraging Lolani to think about changes that could be made to her planet's culture, for the better, by lending her a book.   When confronted with the evidence, Lolani tells an implausible story about how it all just happened while she was hiding with her eyes closed. When Kirk doesn't buy it, she asks “if you were a slave, wouldn't you just want to be free?” And Kirk agrees. He hates the idea of a sentient being enslaved, but he says something that I think is very important. “The truth always matters.”   When she learns her previous owner is on his way to collect her, Lolani tries to use her sexuality to manipulate Kirk. And given the circumstances, the bleak future that lies ahead of her, it's hard to blame her. She'll do anything to escape that brutal mistreatment she knows is waiting for her.   Kirk tries not to succumb, because he's not an idiot. He knows what is appropriate and what isn't. He knows getting involved with Lolani in that way is a bad idea. But remember female Orions have those pheromones with which they can influence people.   It's Uhura's call on the intercom that helps Kirk snap himself out of it. There's a nice moment where they both apologise. Kirk promises to do whatever he can to help Lolani.   But she can't just leave it at that. Again, I don't blame her for doing anything she can to escape her fate. And she continues to use the one tool she feels she has. The transporter chief has less moral strength than Kirk. He's trying to fly her away in a shuttle craft.   With evidence that proves two of the Tellarites were killed by Lolani, Spock says “she is no longer an unfortunate slave. She may be a murderer.”   Of course, it's likely that she is both.   Notice that Spock says she MAY be a murderer. They know she killed two of those tellarites. But there may have been extenuating circumstances. She may have killed them out of self-defense, which is technically not murder.   With Lolani confined to quarters, Kirk asks McCoy if there is a medical defence against Orion pheromones. McCoy says there is a known inoculation and he can begin immediately. If the issue is so well known that they already have an inoculation on file and ready to go, I have to wonder why it's taken this long before anyone has thought about it.   In fact, I wonder why it isn't included in the standard set of vaccinations for Starfleet personnel. In the real world, military officers are inoculated against all sorts of things as a matter of course. You can't afford your soldiers getting sick from preventable diseases when they're busy in the line of duty. I imagine Starfleet would be the same. We know there are a lot of dangerous alien diseases out there. It would be quite logical to inoculate starfleet officers against Orion pheromones as a matter of course. The risk of one of your people being mind-controlled seems a reasonable reason to do so.   It's possible Lolani may have blocked out much of what happened on the Tellarite ship, and genuinely doesn't remember. So Spock is going to mind meld with her. The fact she's willing to trust him and consents to the procedure suggests she's not deliberately hiding anything.   She killed the tellarites in self-defense, while they were trying to rape her.   Kirk and Spock are in a difficult position. They know Lolani is right. It's wrong to send her back to be beaten, and worse. She could be a voice in the Federation for her people, but not if they send her back in chains.   In the conference room, MacKenna plead's Lolani's case to the senior crew. She makes a good point. “Starfleet aren't here. Perhaps if they were, they'd see things differently.” In a lot of ways, this ties into a classic Star Trek theme. The needs of the many vs the needs of the few - or the one. Starfleet is willing to turn a blind eye to one woman's slavery because to do otherwise would risk an inter-stellar incident - perhaps war.   When the owner, Zaminhon, arrives, Kirk's plan is dinner. Pull out all the stops for him. All Kirk can hope is that they can somehow change this man's mind.   He's a very intimidating-looking bloke. The actor has an amazing deep voice. I don't know if there's some artificial enhancement going on, or if it's all natural. But it really suits the big Orion.   I laughed at Scotty's line. “He seems nice. For a slave trader.”   The transporter chief, Kenway, fabricates a story about orders to get into Lolani's quarters to see her. He still seems very smitten. Despite his inoculation, he seems to still be suffering effects from his previous exposure to her pheromones.   That said, he seems to genuinely want to help her, not because she's attractive, but because it's right. Lolani has some good things to say. Kenway feels that he's nobody. That he can't make a difference. Lolani says that everybody is somebody. That's the message that needs to reach people on her planet. And she mentions a quote that is apparently falsely attributed to a guy named Edmund Burke. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And that is what's happening here.   In the end, Kenway just says sorry and leaves. What can he do? It must be very difficult for the crew to laugh and chat with this slave driver. Especially McKenna. Zaminhon confirms that the male Orions do have a natural scent, but it's been kept from developing the same potency as the female pheromones.   Whatever Kirk's plan, in trying to charm Zaminhon is shattered when Scotty casually says “Lolani says you're a brutal monster.”   Zaminhon just laughs it off and says he treats his slaves well. Kirk's plan starts to come out as he plays along, pretending to be as comfortable with slavery, even offering McKenna to him for a price. Zaminhon surprisingly sees and even defends McKenna's value as a person. She is civilised and capable. Slavery is not for her. An interesting admission from him. Then Kirk drives in the knife. What about Lolani? She is every bit as capable. She has a thirst for knowledge. But even without that, as a woman, she has a fundamental right to be free.   Of course it doesn't work. As Zaminhon points out, “We're not going to change each other's minds over a fine dinner.” Which is quite true.   Still, Kirk had to try. That's who he is. That's the Starfleet way. You talk. You reason.   With the crew out of ideas, it's Spock who has to verbalise it. “Then it might be time to say goodbye.”   The guard at Lolani's door is terrible at his job. You don't just abandon your post to check with the captain because a visiting alien tells you he'll take it from here. He has orders, and until they are countermanded from up in the chain of command, those orders stand. By walking away he leaves the door unguarded so Zaminhon can enter Lolani's quarters.   Zaminhon doesn't even wait to get off the Enterprise before starting the physical abuse. Honestly, I don't think he cares. Starfleet have to abide by Orion law in this case and he knows it.   Of course, that doesn't stop Kirk from intervening when he enters to tell Lolani the bad news.   The re-used TOS music fits so well into the scene. It's a lot more than just a copy-and-paste job.   Kirk has one last-ditch idea. And it's something of an ethical dilemma. He offers to buy Lolani from Zaminhon. It's a trope you often see in fiction. The hero buys the slave for the sole purpose of setting her free.   On the one hand, it's a good thing as it's an effective way of freeing a slave. On the other hand, it means taking part in the morally reprehensible practice. It is morally justified to engage in slave trade in order to free a slave? Probably.   Zaminhon is not impressed. He refuses to sell, out of spite, for Kirk's hypocrisy. There is no price he'd accept to sell Lolani to him. He won't let Kirk win this one.   Commodore Gray is not impressed. She likens his intervening when Zaminhon hit Lolani to striking a foreign politician. She reiterates the Federation's position. They will noit risk war over one slave. And I do understand their point. How many will die, be tortured and abused if this leads to war? I'm not saying they're right, but I certainly understand their position. Gray says it's the job of the diplomats to fight this issue of slavery. Kirk is ordered to return Zaminhon to his ship with Lolani. I can't see that these diplomats are going to be very effective in their efforts, unfortunately. Orions have practised slavery since they discovered fire. And they're now an interstellar civilisation. Zaminhon leads Lolani to the transporter pad, back in her skimpy slave outfit and chains.   Kenway is on duty so he has to be the one to push the button. He doesn't take it well.  The look on the actor's face sells it beautifully. This is where Kirk realises Kenway's feelings, whatever they are, are real. Not something you can inoculate against. He knows this because he's feeling it too. Not a sexual attraction, but a desire for justice. It's going around and around in his head. He was determined to help Lolani. And he failed.   That's when he announces to the crew that he is about to commit a direct violation of his orders. He'll take full responsibility. This is a very Kirk action. Even Picard has been known to do something like this.   As the Enterprise closes on Zaminhon's ship, ready to beam Lolani aboard, the ship explodes. Everyone is devastated. Evidently, Lolani sabotaged the ship, preferring to due than to live as a slave. If Kirk had been just a few minutes sooner he could have saved her.   But then, what would have happened to Kirk? I suspect it would have ended his career. This isn't Admiral Kirk of the movie era, who can get away with anything. This is young Captain Kirk, still in his first 5 year mission.   Lolani left a video message for Kirk. She believes her death will mean nothing, but Zaminhon's death may light a fire in the hearts of the people on her world - young girls desperate to be free, and maybe some men, who don't want to be a part of enslaving them.   Kenway asks Kirk for a leave of absence from Starfleet. He has been deeply touched by Lolani's words. Her message. He wants to take up her cause. Kirk gives him Lolani's recording. Will he make a difference? I don't know. But a good man is about to stop doing nothing.   This was actually a really powerful message show, perhaps one of the best that Star Trek has ever done, which is saying a lot for a fan-made production.   I really like this ending. It's not a happy ending, but it's a fitting one. And it gives hope. Even meaning to Lolani's life and death.   I think when you get down to it, the real message of this story is about apathy. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find a human being in this world today that believes slavery is a good and acceptable thing. But how does that belief affect our actions?   Slavery does still exist in some form in our world today. Not like it used to be, not like the Orions suffer, but it does exist. I don't know enough about it. I find myself feeling challenged to learn more. To see what might be able to be done.   How about you?   I hope you've enjoyed my thoughts on Lolani. Next time we'll be looking at another amazing episode. A direct sequel to the original series episode Mirror Mirror.   Until then, have a great 2 weeks Live long and prosper. Make it so.    

This upload is a special moment in our show's history. It was thought to be a lost episode due to a snafu; we believed this interview with Prelude To Axanar director Christian Gossett to be gone forever. However, it resurfaced miraculously just a few days after the late great Johnny Lightfoot passed away. We would like to believe his force ghost-willed it back onto Steven Presley's hard drive?! Either way, it's was one of our favourite episodes. Christian Gossett directed the most successful Star Trek fan film in the history of the fandom. Unfortunately, It later led to an ugly lawsuit with Paramount that would forever change how fan films were produced. And unfortunately, due to a falling out, Christian Gossett later broke off from his partnership with co-creator Alec Peters, and that's been highly publicized. All of this and more is covered in this extensive interview.

Star Trek fan films have been around over four decades. They've come in all shapes, sizes, and varying levels of quality. In all that time, the copyright owners of Star Trek have remained quiet. So why has one fan film elicited a lawsuit that has the fan community in an uproar?Fan films for genre properties are extremely popular. You can probably find fan films for every sci-fi, superhero, or fantasy-based intellectual property from games to films to TV shows. And one of the most popular sci-fi franchises of all time, Star Trek, has one of the highest numbers of fan films on the internet. One of the most popular was a 21-minute short released in 2014 called "Prelude to Axanar." It has won over 45 film festivals and racked up almost 2.5 million views as of this podcast. So popular was this short, that the filmmakers raised a record-setting $1.2 million dollars from two crowdfunding campaigns to make a feature film version.Then in December of 2015, the filmmakers behind Axanar were hit with a full-blown lawsuit from CBS and Paramount, something they've never done in the 40+ years that fan films have been around. Why now has the "sleeping giant" awakened?Today on the show we talk to Robert Meyer Burnett, the director of the film (which has not yet begun production due to the suit). He talks about it origins and insight into their side of this argument.We also hear from Richard "RB" Botter, CEO and founder of Stage32, whose connections to the Hollywood machine give him an insightful POV. Show regulars JD and Yolanda Cochran chime in as well.

INTERVIEW! This week we talk with animator Joel Furtado who most recently created the "X-Men: Danger Room Protocols" animated series which was unceremoniously pulled from YouTube, Vimeo and other destinations due to Marvel copyright claims. We discussed that situation back in episode 109 and now we get to discuss it all with the man himself. He was very open about it and it led into very interesting discussion about fanart vs parody (which we touched on before), the technical aspects of creating CGI Pixel Animation, working in the video game industry and the state of western Canadian animation work.

Hi Podcast Listeners! Our interview with Star Trek Axanar fan film director Robert Meyer Burnett this week was really awesome. However, he also gave us a lot of great information and we did not have enough time in the episode to fit it all in. As a result, his interview in the episode is heavily edited. But since he was so great on the show, we are releasing the full, unedited version of the interview here as a separate download. If you are a Star Trek fan, you will really enjoy his insight. His comments on the recent #trekfanfilmguidelines are definitely worth a listen.

This week I bring you some really great news for fans of the legally in limbo film Star Trek Axanar. I also have one of the most frustrating Character Spotlights ever, Evac the Transformer Ride who may just be the star of the next movie. Think about that for a while why don't you.

Carlos Pedraza from AxaMonitor joins the Tribbles in Ecstasy Podcast to update us on what is going on in the Star Trek Axanar lawsuit during our Unofficial Star Trek Productions segment. We also discuss the Star Trek Online and Star […] The post Tribbles in Ecstasy Take 216: Agents of Axa appeared first on Holosuite Media.

With apologies for the delay, this week we look at a number of items in the news, things blowing up the Internet, things that matter, and things that don't.Every now and again, we find ourselves having to discuss sad news, and this week we talk about the loss of Prince and his influence on the genre. His work on Tim Burton's Batman had more of an impact than some people realize, and we take a look at how Prince's music influenced a generation of fans. Plus, we pass along our condolences to Patton Oswalt on the sudden death of his wife Michelle McNamara.In other Internet-blowup (or blowback) news, there's Ghost in the Shell getting all the hate from the Interwebz because Scarlett Johansson is apparently too white to play a Japanese secret agent in the body of a robot. And there's a lot of online chatter about the continued fallout over the CBS/Paramount lawsuit against Star Trek: Axanar -- now it's the sequel to Horizon getting a polite C&D before the production even begins.Plus: Doctor Who companion news!

So Star Trek Beyond writer Justin Lin came out in support of Star Trek Axanar in their upcoming lawsuit with CBS/Paramount. Is this bravery or fear of a backlack against his upcoming Trek film and fan will stay home or boycott it over CBS/Paramount actions agains the very fans they want buyin tickets?

So I could not take all the race talk during the Oscars. I like Chris Rock as a comedian but it went way overboard. Was happy for Spotlight as the winner best picture and Sam Smith winning best original song (two Bond films in a row, YEAH!). Will Suicide Squad make more than the other DC franchises? More movie news as well. Enjoy!

Continuing our discussions of the Paramount/CBS vs. Axanar Productions, Star Athletica vs. Varsity Brands, and the take-down of X-Men: Danger Room Protocols.Michael Hinman, editor-in-chief of 1701News, joins our panel in an examination of the Star Trek: Axanar production, how it's become the focus of the copyright protection efforts on the part of Paramount Pictures and CBS Television. Is Alec Peters in the right? Is Axanar just a fan film? Is it a threat to Star Trek Beyond? Or is it more the fact that Peters & Company are building a commercial enterprise using the reputation of Star Trek?Plus: if copyright law covers the design of a cheerleader uniform, what impact could that have on the cosplay community? Especially considering that some cosplayers are actually profiting (at least a little bit...) from their work/play in cosplay, will movie costumes fall under copyright protection? Will cosplayers take a hit?

Our main topic is fair use, the engine of so much cultural reuse and advancement. We’re joined by one of the doctrine’s most interesting scholars, Mike Madison.

Composing the Music of Axanar with Alexander Bornstein. The visual and sound design of Axanar is incredible, but without a full musical score the experience of The Four Years War would be quite different. Many great composers have guided the sound of Star Trek over the decades, each bringing their own unique flavor while at the same time maintaining a common, special feel that tells viewers as once that what they are hearing is Trek. With Axanar, that proud history continues with the talents of Alexander Bornstein. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones are joined by Alex to learn about his musical training, his time working under Bear McCreary, his approach to composing for Prelude to Axanar, the classical and film influences on his music, and his plans for the full Axanar film. In our news segment we learn about the new warehouse space that may become Axanar Studios, the first design meeting with John Iacovelli, and more discussions on fleshing out the creative team that will bring the rest of the Axanar story to life.   Hosts Christopher Jones and Alec Peters   Guest Alexander Bornstein   Editor and Producer Christopher Jones   Associate Producer Norman C.

J.G. Hertzler talks Samuel Travis. In Star Trek: Axanar, the story of The Four Years War is told from both the Federation and Klingon sides of the conflict. And while the USS Ares plays a central role in the war efforts—guided by the reluctant yet inspiring commander Kevlar Garth—other Starfleet figures are key to victory. One of these is Samuel Travis, one of the most senior captains in the fleet. Garth's actions during the war capturing the respect of Travis, a man of few words but an inspiring presence himself. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones are joined by the man behind Travis, none other than J.G. Hertzler, to learn more about his approach to the character, what drew him to the project, the inspiration for Travis, and J.G.'s own life experiences that play into the role.

Pre-Production Begins! Prelude to Axanar has raised the level of expectations for independent Star Trek productions and generated excitement not only amongst fans but in the media as well. After the amazing short, fans are eagerly anticipating the full-length film. What does the full Axanar have in store for us? A few tidbits are now at hand as pre-production has begun! In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones are joined by director Christian Gossett to find out what's happened so far in pre-production, from some new casting to the evolution of the script.

Yesterday, I sat down with Alec Peters, the writer/producer/actor of Star Trek: Axanar to briefly discuss this upcoming independent Star Trek film.

An Author's View of Axanar with James Swallow. One of the most exciting parts of writing a story like Axanar is the opportunity to add richness to the Star Trek universe. This is something than few people know better than James Swallow, author of many novels including The Poisoned Chalice, part of the New York Times bestselling Star Trek series "The Fall." So how does a novelist view the story of The Four Years War and how Axanar is expanding upon events and characters that we've learned very little about in past Trek? In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones are joined by James to get an author's view of the Axanar story, the way the Klingons are being portrayed, the backstory of Garth, and where the story might go next. Plus, James gives us a few teasers about his next two Star Trek books, included the Titan novel Sight Unseen. In our news segment we recap the events of Salt Lake City Comic Con, discuss the first steps in pre-production of the full Axanar film, which kicked off on September 8 (the 48th anniversary of Star Trek), learn a bit more about Garrett Wang's Klingon role, get a post-Kickstarter update, and find out what kind of Axanar merchandise is in the pipeline.   Send us your feedback!

The Green Girl. One of the most famous aliens in Star Trek is the Orion slave girl, and the most classic “green” moment comes from “The Cage,” compliments of Susan Oliver. The prolific star is best known to Star Trek fans for this role, yet her appearance in Star Trek is but a speck on the landscape of her career as an actress and director. In this episode of The Ready Room we take a break from our usual format as we're joined by Larry Nemecek and writer/director George Pappy to talk about his new documentary The Green Girl, which chronicles the life of Susan Oliver, her film and television work, attempts to break the glass ceiling for female directors, and more. In our news segment we get a first-hand recap of the Geek Nation Tours trek to Las Vegas, discuss how recent awards and campaigns for Star Trek Continues and Star Trek: Axanar highlight the growing fan desire for new Trek, and assess the prospects for the remastering of Deep Space Nine and Voyager in light of some recent panels and interviews with those who might spearheads the projects.   Send us your feedback!

Video Capture and Processing with Bing Bailey. The tools used to capture and process video have changed drastically in recent years. Star Trek: Axanar would not have been feasible as a fan-supported independent production just a few years ago. But thanks to advances in camera technology, computer workstations and software, and drastic drops in prices, individuals with the skills can create Hollywood-quality films using the tools they have in their own homes and studios. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones are joined by video guru Bing Bailey, Digital Image Technician and Colorist for Axanar, to talk about the process of capturing, processing, and mastering video. We discuss the cameras used on Axanar, the hardware and software that Bing uses, and the steps required to master and create the final digital print that you see at a screening of the film. In our news segment we recap the events of Dragon Con and Alec takes us through the final days of the Axanar Kickstarter, the amazing boost from George Takei, and the overwhelming support we've received from all of you, the fans!   Send us your feedback!

Supporter Questions and Fundraising Ins-and-Outs. The level of support being received by Star Trek: Axanar is unprecedented, not only financially but also in pure excitement and dedication. The premiere of Prelude to Axanar has kicked the warp factor up a few notches, and has also generated some great questions from fans and supporters. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast, Alec Peters and Christopher Jones sit down to answer some of those questions and provide some background details about how the fundraising process works. Amongst the questions about creative that we dive into are the possibility of seeing Andorians and Tellarites in the full Axanar film, what format that film will take compared to Prelude, and whether or not we'll see the USS Kelvin. Plus, we learn the surprising design process behind the Vulcan patch that will be heading your way as supporters.

Editing Prelude to Axanar with Robert Meyer Burnett. Even before Prelude to Axanar premiered at San Diego Comic Con, the trailer let fans know that this wasn't just another fan film. The writing, acting, sound design, visual effects, and directing all turned the collective head of fandom. But someone had to pull all those pieces together and assemble them into a two-and-half-minute package. That man is Robert Meyer Burnett, the same man who has dazzled fans with the documentaries and extras found on the TNG and Enterprise Blu-ray sets. In this episode of official Star Trek: Axanar podcast we're joined by Rob who tells us the story of how he got involved in the project, how he condensed Prelude to Axanar into that final trailer (which was originally five minutes long!) and how working on Axanar differs from other projects he's been part of. As a bonus, we close out the discussion with the story behind the TNG single-disc Blu-ray releases like "The Best of Both Worlds" and why those exist. In our news segment we recap Star Trek Las Vegas events and the screening of Prelude to Axanar, get an update on Kickstarter, find out more about Garrett Wang's upcoming life as a warrior, and get set to invade Houston Comic Con.   Send us your feedback!

The Sound Design of Prelude to Axanar. Spectacular visuals and captivating acting are two of the most noticeable elements of a film, but take away the sound and what are you left with? In the absence of sound effects, even the greatest story doesn't feel quite right. Weapons fire, starships zipping by, footsteps, and the gentle ambient hum of the engines are all critical to making the visuals believable. But how are they created? The sources of many sounds Star Trek fans find familiar may surprise you. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast we're joined by Mark Edward Lewis, Jesse Akins, and Academy Award-winner Frank Serafine to learn more about how they bring Axanar to life through sound. In our news segment we get a first-hand account of the San Diego Comic-Con premiere of Prelude to Axanar, some of the behind-the-scenes excitement that led up to the screening, the launch of the Kickstarter for the full Axanar film, and Axanar activities on slate for Star Trek Las Vegas.   Send us your feedback!

The Axanar Story and Script with David Gerrold and Christian Gossett. Set during the Four Years War between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, Axanar has its share of battles. But there's far more to the story than ship-to-ship combat, action, and explosions. At the heart of any good war story is the effect it has on those involved. War stories are character tales, and as famed Star Trek writer David Gerrold points out, this is what attracted him to Alec Peter's script. In this episode of the official Star Trek: Axanar podcast we're joined by David as well as director Christian Gossett to talk about conflict in Star Trek, Klingons, and why Axanar goes far beyond the average battle story.   News Production Updates (1:48) Getting Set for the Premiere (5:11) The Next Axanar Kickstarter (7:04)   Feature: The Axanar Story and Script with David Gerrold First Impressions (8:47) A Star Trek War Story (11:40) A Klingon Perspective (16:42) Script Evolution (23:58) Final Thoughts (29:35) Closing (30:33)

TNG Films Face-off. When the the Original Series cast set foot on the big screen, it was a dream come true for a generation of fans who had supported the short-lived show through the dark 1970s. For fans of The Next Generation, however, the experience was quite different. As soon as the final episode wrapped, the cast jumped right into shooting their first movie. The result was a film that felt more like the next TV episode than a major motion picture. Or did it? In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Phillip Gilfus and Daniel Proulx of Earl Grey to pit the four Next Generation films against one another. We cover the good and the bad of each and discuss whether more time between the television series and the movies would have changed fan perception of these four stories. In our news segment we discuss the controversy surrounding the sixth-season TNG episode "Timescape" and an uncorrected VFX mistake, Dayton Ward's selection of ten Star Trek episodes that could work as stage plays, and the launch of Star Trek: Axanar's official podcast, which will chronicle the production of the independent film through discussions with the cast and crew.   News Mike and Denise Okuda speak out on the "Timescape" VFX controversy (3:02) Star Trek: Axanar teams of with Trek.fm for its official podcast (9:23) Dayton Ward's Star Trek episodes that could work as stage plays (14:06) Sponsor: Audible (22:38)   Feature: TNG Films Face-off Overview (26:01) Generations (28:43) First Contact (50:51) Insurrection (1:06:04) Nemesis (1:25:42) Final Thoughts (1:46:42) Closing (1:58:26)

Orci not a lock to direct Star Trek 2016 after all? Since May, Star Trek fans have been operating under the assumption that Roberto Orci will be directing the next film, set for release in 2016—the 50th anniversary year of the Star Trek franchise. But could it be that we've all taken a rumor as fact? According to Orci, he is not yet officially involved in the project and it remains to be seen if he will in fact be sitting in the director's chair when filming begins. Read more at 1701News. http://1701news.com/node/647/star-trek-3-directors-chair-still-open.html   Star Trek: Axanar teams up with Trek.fm for official podcast Independent productions are becoming more and more common, and the majority focus on TOS. But there are many other parts of the timeline to be fleshed out, and Alec Peters is doing just that with Axanar—the story of the Four Years War between the Federation and Klingon Empire. Prelude to Axanar, a short told in the style of a History Channel special, will premiere at San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and production on the full-length Axanar feature will follow. To keep fans informed on this production, Peters has teamed up with Trek.fm to launch an official weekly podcast. Listen to the official podcast of Star Trek: Axanar. https://trek-fm.squarespace.com/axp/

Background to Axanar with Alec Peters and Christian Gossett. Star Trek: Axanar is the story of Garth of Izar, the legendary Starfleet captain who is Captain Kirk’s hero. Set twenty one years before the events of “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” this is the story of the victory that solidified the United Federation of Planets at a time when conflict with the Klingons threatened to tear the union apart.

Prelude to Axanar. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. So says an ancient Greek proverb, and such is what happened to Garth, the legendary Fleet Captain who we first see in the Original Series episode "Whom Gods Destroy." What events in Garth's life led to this, and how did he become a man of Starfleet legend? This is the story that the independent film Star Trek Axanar aims to tell, and it all begins with the forthcoming short "Prelude to Axanar." In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Axanar creator and producer Alec Peters for an update on the project's development, more information on the format of "Prelude to Axanar" and the production timeline, and some exciting news about casting, which includes the addition of Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan to a cast that already includes Richard Hatch, J.G. Hertzler, and Gary Graham, who is reprising his role as Soval from Enterprise.   Send us your feedback!

The Starfleet Escape PodCast is back with a brand new interview with Alec Peters. Alec is a Star Trek Archivist, prop collector and the creator of Star Trek: Axanar. Axanar is the story of Garth of Izar, the legendary Starfleet captain who is Captain Kirk's hero. Listen for exclusive information on their upcoming Kickstarter campaign. […]

Alec Peters and Richard Hatch talk Star Trek: Axanar. Star Trek has inspired fans in many ways, and for creatives one of the most tantalizing paths to exploring Gene Roddenberry’s universe is through the DIY method—Do It Yourself. Without new episodes on television, fans with a background in film production, writing, and acting have developed a number of series that extend the missions of our favorite crews—and introduce us to new ones. The quality of these films has been astounding, giving us content that rivals that of television in years past. In this episode of Matter Stream we’re joined by Propworx founder Alec Peters and Battlestar Galactica’s Richard Hatch to discuss their new film project, Star Trek: Axanar, a war story set in the Star Trek universe that brings back some familiar characters, familiar actors, and delivers many new faces as well.
