“Axanar,” the fan film that got too big for its britches and attracted CBS’s attack lawyers, is back in production. Sadly, the original plan was to make a feature length film, but now it is restricted to two 15-minute episodes. Still, 30 minutes of something that actually seems like Star Trek is better than an entire season of whatever the frak STD was.
Being a spaceship nerd, I like the designs shown here. While they seem to be *heavily* influenced by ship designs from the “Kelvin Timeline,” they are configurations that actually look like they’d fit into a pre-TOS timeline.
Additionally, there are these two one-hour animated Trek “episodes.” I have not yet watched them (hey, got stuff to do), but from quick glances they look promising. Apparently animated fan films skate right on by the fifteen-minute arbitrary limit the official Trek license holders have decreed. Something to tide Trekkies over until *real* Star Trek returns on December 30 with the Season 2 premiere of “The Orville.”
