STC Ep. 9: ???.... (Coming this June)

Excellent!!

 

Considering Continues' fascination with connecting dots, I think that's likely.

 

That's a rather odd way of phrasing it. In most series, we would call that a "story arc."

 

Something not done in TOS.

 

This is true, but I think we've established by now that STC has trended towards being its own thing while still being a continuation of TOS. I like the idea of a story arc, YMMV.

 

Technically I am incorrect. Although brief the two part "The Menagerie" was a short story arc.

 

Well, not necessarily. An arc is determined by three points.

 

Okay. I thought I was wrong, but turns out I was mistaken.

 

Dammit, Jim - I'm a doctor, not a drafter!

 

Nice to have a clear knowledge of when the last episodes will premiere. When it's all done I will have to do a complete series revisit.

 

I've seen that GIF before only with them bouncing a ball off their heads.

Interesting STC Announcement:

We're excited to announce that Star Trek Continues' very own Lt. Smith -- Kipleigh Brown -- wrote our upcoming Episode 9, "What Ships are For"! Born and raised in Chicago, Kipleigh got her start studying at Steppenwolf and Second City. In addition to her Trek background, her TV and film credits include the lead in Entertainment One's scifi noir feature film "Yesterday Was a Lie." Kipleigh's currently starring in her fourth season of the MMO game "Star Trek Online," playing the voice of exotic Lukari scientist Captain Kuumaarke. Check out her work at www.kipleigh.com

We look forward to sharing "What Ships Are For" with you in late July! Are you ready for a new episode?

 

John de Lancie has just been announced as a guest in Ep 9!!!

 

Okay, so Ep. 9 "What Ships Are For" will be guest starring John de Lancie and Anne Lockhart.

In the promotional poster de Lancie is dressed suspiciously like Flint from "Requiem For Methuseh" and the building in the background suggests the castle from that episode (previously seen in "The Cage").

 

Where is that poster?

 

They included it at the top of the newsletter email.

The costume is rather close, but it looks different enough to me that I think he's playing a different character entirely.

 

"The cast and crew of STAR TREK CONTINUES finished principal photography on our series a few months ago, and we are working at warp speed to put all of the finishing touches on Episodes 9, 10, and 11 – which will complete our salute to The Original Series.

And while we are all sad to see STAR TREK CONTINUES come to a close, we have committed to our supporters that these last three chapters in our story will be finished and released this year. That means three more upcoming premieres of the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

Episode Nine is in sound design and will have a debut screening at the end of July at Florida Supercon in Ft Lauderdale. We’re so honored to announce some very familiar names in guest starring roles for Episode 9, including John de Lancie and Anne Lockhart.

Of course, John needs no introduction. His character will be among the first to appear on our Planet Set (constructed with support from our crowdfunding campaign).

Anne Lockhart may be best known to science fiction fans for her role as “Sheba” on the original Battlestar Galactica, but she has also been in hundreds of other productions and commercials – including a recurring role in Chicago Fire on NBC. (And, of course, her Mom was June Lockhart, the matriarch of Lost in Space!)

John de Lancie, Chuck Huber (McCoy) and I will each be guests at Florida Supercon. So we hope you might plan a trip to Fort Lauderdale to enjoy the world premiere screening of “What Ships Are For,” at the end of July. Details about the screening will be on the Supercon website.

Finally, our remaining episodes constitute an exciting two-part story that will not only finish out our series, but bring an exciting and satisfying conclusion to the original five year mission of the Enterprise. Episode Ten is set to premiere at Salt Lake Comic Con (the weekend of September 21) and Episode Eleven will have its debut screening at New York Comic Con October 6.

Keep this comm channel open for more info about our final installments. And again, thank you to all of you for your enthusiasm and support for this "love letter to Star Trek".
