"When I first reported on the Star Trek Continues Kickstarter a few weeks ago it was newly born. This morning it's just reached its first stretch goal, which means that not only will there be two more episodes, but the people who devote their time and energy to creating this will be building us an engineering set as well! If this is your first time hearing about the series, follow the link above to find a wonderful take on Star Trek that may be the closest we'll ever get to seeing new original episodes of the quality of the best of the original series. Here's what I said about the second episode, "Lolani," on this very web site, although it holds true for all three of the episodes made thus far: "… it feels like a lost episode. It's not just the sets and the effects, which are truly astonishing in their faithfulness, it's the pacing, and the music cues, and the fadeouts, and the story beats, and the writing — and the actors. These people understand who the original characters were and inhabit them — and I swear that this script could stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the finest entries in the original run."…" Full text here link Amicalement Armand |

I think these are amazing amateur works – but the actors! Couldn't they find anyone to cast who looked even remotely like the original actors? Just even slightly. Just MHO. It is kind of cool that they got Michel Forest to reprise his role as Apollo. |

Star trek Phase II is another original series continuation. They also have had original series actors. |

Star Trek Phase II was the banner holder for Star Trek fan films. Star Trek Continues has taken that banner and run with it, leaving Star Trek Phase II in the dust. As to the actors, I'm OK with not dead on, although Vic Mignona does a great job as Kirk and James Doohan's own son Chris is playing Scotty. The success of these shows, go to show how much Star Trek is loved. |
