1. Jonathan Lane Adds Apology to Target of Trollhunters' Plots and Alec Peters' Ire

• Demands apology. Greenberg publicly doubted the sincerity of Lane's earlier apologies because Lane had focused on the Trollhunters gleeful discussion over the suicide of the father-in-law of another Axanar vocal critic, Shawn O'Halloran. Greenberg asked:
  • Blackmail, murder. “What I don’t understand, Jonathan Lane is … why Shawn and now Paul [Jenkins] get an apology and I don’t. [The Trollhunters] were talking about the blackmail and potential murder of myself.”
• Simple apology. After citing some of the long history of what he considered inappropriate behavior by Greenberg, Lane offered:

  “I will simply apologize to you right now, Sandy, as you have requested. Alec's comment about being too lazy to hire a hit man to kill you was in poor taste, and I do not support ever joking about death or murder. Likewise, any attempt to cost someone their job and/or livelihood, be it you or my wife or anyone, is never acceptable … even in jest.”

• Apology rejected. Greenberg, who lives in the U.K., was unmoved by Lane's apology. He told AxaMonitor:

  “It wasn’t really an apology to me since he did it in a Facebook group and not a message or email. … He didn’t even put it on his own [Fan Film Factor] page. … The bottom line is that it’s exactly what I expect from his prose — overly long, condescending, and self serving. We’ll see if he’s really sorry when he severs ties with Peters and removes Trollhunters as admins from his Facebook groups.”

• Temporary ceasefire. O'Halloran had extended an olive branch to Lane after learning Lane and his family were afraid of him. O'Halloran assured Lane, "You do not have to worry about me, anymore. … I will not contribute to that distress any further and I’m going to request that the rest of the group follow my lead on this." (Disclosure: O'Halloran is an admin of the AxaMonitor discussion forum on Facebook, and a co-host with Carlos Pedraza of the Real Super Geeks podcast.)
  • Implied threat? Lane wondered aloud what O'Halloran meant by the term. "I really don't know how to respond to that or what [O'Halloran] is asking for. Honestly, I don't know what else I can say beyond what I have already said and done at this time. I'm out of Trollhunters. While I have heard there is a new group, I am not in it."
• Moral compass. O'Halloran told Lane, "It’s not a coincidence that the people who were actively involved in [the Trollhunters] were forgotten about pretty quickly and the focus was directed at you. Nobody expects anything better from Alec [and the others] but, they do expect better from you, because (and I know it sounds nuts) even the detractors believe that you do have a sense of a moral compass."

2. Former Employees Get Court Hearings to Dismiss Peters' Lawsuit over Sale of Enterprise-E Model

• Defendant Jarrod Hunt, a longtime employee in Peters' Propworx business, filed his own motion last week to dismiss Peters' suit contending Hunt had made off with the commission from the 2017 sale of the Enterprise-E filming model from Star Trek: First Contact, to which Peters alleged he was entitled.
  • Already litigated. The sale was the subject of another lawsuit Peters pursued against another company. That litigation was settled out of court earlier this year.
  • Flawed lawsuit. Hunt's motion reiterated a number of fundamental flaws in Peters' legal complaint.
• Hearings scheduled. With the filing Hunt's dismissal motion just after a parallel motion filed days before by Dean Newbury, builder of Axanar's Ares bridge set, the Clark County, Nevada, court scheduled a hearing on November 25 for Newbury, and December 2 for Hunt.
