Interesting times ahead then.

Well I watched the trailer they made. Certainly interesting and follows on well from TOS.

Maybe they can come to some arrangement. I was reading the comments on youtube that is could be a ploy by CBS/Paramount to appropriate the idea.

From Adam Schneider who had galileo restored and donated to NASA.

"...I don't think the timing is an accident. I understand they're just about to "start shooting" so money is where it is, and the sets are ready. The studios certainly do not want shooting to begin as then the product, even if incomplete or just a few scenes (like the Vulcan scene) will likely get out. That forces a corporation's timing.

I work with large companies all the time. You can also assume this is not out of the blue, and that any large corporation would rather negotiate than sue. There's most history here than "they sued"... there's likely a series of conversations where they kept disagreeing.... "

And now it has come to this......the bunker.

Word has come through that the lawsuit against Axanar has been dropped.

Not dropped but in a settlement stage as I understand it. If both parties can agree to settlement terms then the suit will be dropped, in not, then the suit goes to trial.

Well the suit will go on as Peter's has filed a counter suit.
