This is treading close to actionable libel, now.
Should Phase II move on?

Understood and accepted.
Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase 2 best episode was WEaT. Marc Scott Zicree really wrote an amazing story and George was brilliant in it.
Zicree also wrote "Far Beyond the Stars" for DS9, also a brilliant story.
Another favorite of mine is Erik Korngold's "In Harms Way". True to the TOS Canon. The story is extremely well written, twists and turns yet easy to follow. The special effects were great!
I guess finally the vignette "Center Seat" Great dialogue between DeSalle and Sulu. Fresh perspective on crew members that do not get enough time on film.

It depends US means United States or the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
I had a quite weekend, how was yours?
Really? While that episode certainly put [then] New Voyages on the map, compared to what has come since it is supercilious fan-wank of the highest order. You're right about the uniqeness of the effects, though I think I prefer the more calmed down version in recent episodes. All it really needed was a kitchen sink and a character named Mary Sue.
I figured it was just a way to get Sulu back on the ship, and to shut up all the DeSalle fans who were whining that he was being kicked off the series. (Which it turned out, he wasn't.) Great shot of the ship hurtling past the sun, though.
Putting aside any mixed reviews about Zicree personally (the whole "Hugo" debate got out of hand) he did turn out a fantastic episode. That's the kind of "moving on" I'd like to keep seeing from the P2 people.

I remember the fight. Now P2 people boast about the Hugo Award nomination. Zicree put a lot into the episode and really ended up with very little for his efforts.
When are we going to see more Korngold's script? Has James asked him to write more scripts?
The controversy, IIRC, was not about the WEAT Hugo nomination but about certain circumstances surrounding its Nebula nomination - they are two entirely unrelated awards, presented by entirely different organizations, with completely different nominating and balloting processes. What they have in common is that they're the two best-known and longest-established awards associated with the sf/fantasy genre in the U.S.
Which one is given by science fiction writers to acknowledge their own in a professional capacity (which is what stirred up the controversy ... the word "professional" ... and one is voted by fans as well as pros, and is for the episode overall.
I think.
Did they win either one, or just get nominated?
The Nebula is the one presented by writers who are members of the Science Fiction Writers of America. The Hugo is voted upon by the registered (not necessarily attending) membership of the annual World Science Fiction Convention or "Worldcon."

The only thing I'd like to know is: Is there a chance that Jeff Quinn might ever return to Phase II? I loved his Spock.
Buddy Ebsen did apparently have a reaction.And I kinda liked Buddy Ebsen as the Tin Man..He would have given the Beverly Hilbillies more star power and we would have gotten at least three more quality seasons of Barnaby Jones.
I agree he would have been good if MGM did not try to poison him with that makeup. I believe the woman painted gold in "Goldfinger" became very sick because they completely covered her body in gold makeup
On the other hand, re Goldfinger, that's another urban legend easily cleared up with a bit of Googling...
Goldfinger Myth on Snopes
Goldfinger Myth again
Mythbusters test it
I second that emotion!
I third that emotion 
Never thought she died but I had heard that she had gotten ill. Sorry. I did find this in IMDB:
"To remove the gold paint from all over her body, Shirley Eaton was scrubbed down by the wardrobe mistress and the make-up girl, and then had to sweat off the remaining gold in a number of Turkish baths."
Maybe she went to that "Clean up" place that Dorothy, Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow went to before they saw the Wizard and Toto too!!!!
