Oh, I've wanted to watch a run. For a moment there, I was worried there were bad terms of service for that too! __________________________________ |

Hey guys, seriously if you like TOS then you should check out Star Trek Continues. The lighting, the sets, the editing, the music, are ridiculously on point. The attention to detail is stunning. They actually score each episode with a live studio orchestra. {"name":"610547","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fcab9313399c7250e5a05f04d4d8360e.jpg","w":500,"h":325,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fcab9313399c7250e5a05f04d4d8360e"} Like the original TOS, stories are related to modern issues and I found them really compelling. Scotty is played by James Dohan's son, actors from original series episodes have made follow-up appearances in their roles. And Vic Mignogna's portrayal of Captain Kirk is about as good as it can possibly get. {"name":"610548","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/0\/a05756f3765a0fba1b267e3b6aeaf6e3.jpg","w":500,"h":325,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/0\/a05756f3765a0fba1b267e3b6aeaf6e3"} Gene Roddenberry's son said “I'm pretty damn sure my dad would consider this canon. And, as far as I’m concerned, it is canon.” {"name":"610549","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/0\/c07630234d5deea4ca1ec1d114da54ce.jpg","w":500,"h":325,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/0\/c07630234d5deea4ca1ec1d114da54ce"} -- |

Are we supposed to take that seriously? Is it a parody or a serious remake? It's a mockery of Star Trek. Spock has a goatee FFS. The only time Spock ever had a goatee was when he was playing a Klingon in an alternate universe.

Those shots are from the STC episode Fairest of Them All, which is a follow-up to famous TOS episode Mirror, Mirror (shown below): {"name":"610550","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/c\/acc828f206a3f70b7f04a20cca7de56a.jpg","w":400,"h":220,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/c\/acc828f206a3f70b7f04a20cca7de56a"} Towards the end of Mirror, Mirror, normal-universe Captain Kirk says to alternate-universe Spock, "You're a man of integrity in both universes, Mister Spock". This sets the stage for STC Fairest of Them All in which alternate universe Spock, after having been introduced to the peaceful ways of normal-universe Kirk, overtakes the crumbling combative Starfleet in his own universe and steers it towards a path of peace. It's a great episode. -- |

Thanks Mark, I'm gonna check that one out too ;-) Someone should make a modern remake of the 25th aniversary/ judgment rites. But I don't have the drawing/modelling skills to do so... Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Shame Paramount are trying to kill all that because they're idiots and don't recognise a modern business opportunity when they see one If I was in any doubt before, now I know I won't be supporting the current official Star Twreck. (I have all of TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9 and ENT on DVD, so I'm sorted. I've decided to watch them all in more or less the order they were made, but I'm only partway through the first series of TOS!) -- |

TOS was way before my time so I have never gotten into it. I've only seen maybe half of one episode. Compared to TNG I find it hard to get into... But I started watching Voyager again just because I still have it on my NAS and I needed a Star Trek fix... What I really wish is that they'd create a brand new series that didn't suck like "Enterprise" did. Rather, go back to basics, and try to create another TNG or Voyager... There's a huge audience willing to fund it... I think that it's awesome that Star Trek Continues exists and is doing so good of a job. I just hope it doesn't end with that. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Enterprise sucked. At least, I tried watching it when it first aired and I never liked it. After 20 or 30 minutes of open mind I hated it. So terrible. I don't even remember it. Only that it was too annoying to watch. I doubt my mind would be changed based on what Wikipedia had to say. They changed too much. I forget exactly what I hated about it at the time, but I remember that it strayed away from the audience. The characters were absurd or something. It was like they wanted to sell it to the general population instead of geeks and sold out. We'll be lucky if the franchise survives. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

If you want to get into TOS watch the movies "The wrath of Kahn" , "The search for Spock" and "The voyage home". Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

And it took me a bunch of episodes (and quite bit of effort) to think of Archer as a standalone captain and not the Quantum Leap guy. If you can get past that, it's actually a really good series. My favorite after Voyager, actually.
