employ legal action but they are losing clout with the fans if they do not do
something to satisfy their demands. There is one a video where the Enterprise
D encounters battlestar wreckage and then brings in the whole Federation
fleet on a rescue mission to fight off the Cylons and bring back the colonial
fleet to a Federation star base. I found the video something to relate to very
easily. There is a body of imagination out there that needs a direction to focus
its amazing story telling resources and the original owners of this franchise
are going to lose control of it very quickly if they do not make use of what is
out there. Those lawyers better get aware of this as soon as possible or else
they will not have much to negotiate about at all.
MarktheSaint, you make a good point. If there was no Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase 2 we would not have seen J J Abrams Star Trek reboot. (Which might have been not bad to happen.) During the Re-Imagined BSG run. Sci-Fi Channel and Ron Moore had a BSG Fanfilm contest.
