You can see a screen grab here:<br />Maybe he was just venting?<br /><br />http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=278077&page=47<br /><br />side note: I've always wanted to own a prop from Star Trek, it was your blog that put me off purchasing from Propworx! Instead, I got my fix from another seller of props on eBay. It's not a prop used on the show, but is a small painting that Andrew Probert's made in 1979 whilst working on TMP. The painting apparently was the inspiration for the Enterprise D. I know how important provenance is from reading your blog and it came with a COA from it's a wrap, so I think it's legit :) if you have the book 'the art of star trek', it's on page 70.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588810282527406296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141267747214087216.post-48538070204921130792015-12-31T11:38:53.103-08:002015-12-31T11:38:53.103-08:00I've seen this theory posited a couple of time...I've seen this theory posited a couple of times.

P2 and Continues have never raised anything close to a $1.1 million in a single blow. It might simply be about a certain level of production that can be tolerated, beyond which they have to defend their properties. If they don't, what's to stop someone from making a $10 million "fan movie"? $40 million? $100 million?<br /><br />Thanks for reading.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949428059647909040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141267747214087216.post-74107834531009901862015-12-31T10:35:23.459-08:002015-12-31T10:35:23.459-08:00Problem: P2 and Continues also do fundraisers and ...Problem: P2 and Continues also do fundraisers and solicit donations.
