-One Axanar critic quickly set up a website, [[https://axanarsporking.wordpress.com|Axanar: The Sporkings]], just to critique the script, apparently on a page-by-page basis. For example, the reviewer takes aim at a lofty-sounding speech delivered by the Klingon commander, Kharn: "It’s a pretty little speech, but when broken down one finds it is like the [[yout>T_4W5ywBTpE|waves upon the firmament]], full of sound and fury, yet signifying nothing."(([[https://axanarsporking.wordpress.com|Axanar: The Sporkings]], 6/28/17.))+One [[axanar_sporking|Axanar critic]] quickly set up a website, [[https://axanarsporking.wordpress.com|Axanar: The Sporkings]], just to critique the script, apparently on a page-by-page basis.

-While the feature film will never be produced, the terms of Axanar's settlement with CBS and Paramount allow Peters to produce two 15-minute short films. Instead of the narrative format of //Axanar//, Peters opted to repeat the faux documentary format of //Prelude//, with two episodes constituting parts IV and V of the fictional "[[knowing_infringement#is_axanar_transformative|Four Years War]]" documentary.+While the feature film will never be produced, the terms of Axanar's settlement with CBS and Paramount allow Peters to produce [[axanar_lite|two 15-minute short films]].
