There are 164 days to go until The Best of 2024 List is published, really looking forward to this one as there are plenty of good fan films to consider for the many open spots on the list.

Thank you fans of MTM and Trekzone for making The 2024 Trekzone Fan Film Awards a great success, the total for the 2024 Trekzone Fan Film Awards has passed the total of The 2023 Trekzone Fan Film Awards so we have done something right even if some think we’ve done wrong.

MTM has been wondering what to do about Star Trek Day, which is September 8, yes, we know that a fan film awards is held on that date but it is also Star Trek Day, so we have to do something on that date, no one group owns that date.

Nothing bombastic is planned just use something that we already have at hand like the Top 10 most watched list, write ups on the Top 10 maybe do a poll on the 10 and see which one is really the popular one.

Big news for Potemkin Pictures, ‘Periphery’ is less than a thousand views away from breaking into its Top 10 most watched list, it has been gaining steadily on 10th position and we’ll continue to watch with interest.

One fan film that hasn’t received a lot of attention is ‘The Third Option’ it is sitting on 946 views so let’s band together readers and get this fan film over 1000 views as it deserves that milestone.

Meanwhile on the Top 10 Most Watched list, Star Trek: First Frontier has rapidly closed in on Prelude to Axanar and could pass it for second place on the all-time list within the next month, it will have a very long climb to catch up to Horizon which is some ten million views ahead of the pack.

Lastly, it seems Axanar’s strategy to the $292,000 it has been ordered to pay CBS and Paramount is to ignore it, the question is will CBS and Paramount do anything about it? Maybe, maybe not.

Until next time, be good to each other.
