    I totally disagree that he's imitating, not acting. There was some good acting throughout the series that took Kirk into completely different areas than Shatner went. Second, it's a gag reel for chrissake, lol.

    To clarify, I never said Vic wasn't acting. On the contrary, I think he's one of the best actors of the whole series.

    There is a pretty terrific bit in the voice actor documentary "I Know That Voice" where James Arnold Taylor is talking about playing Marty McFly (aka Michael J. Fox). Paraphrasing, he says "Sure you can imitate Michael J. Fox. But can you do Michael J. Fox running? Tired? Taking a punch? Laughing?"

    So Vic is totally doing an imitation. But it would be impossible to say he isn't acting.

    Um, guys, he pronounces "barrage" normally in the episode. Are you thinking of the gag in the bloopers?

    Link cued to that moment:

    I believe he says "sabo-taage" somewhere as a minor easter egg and nod to Shatner that made it in, but the "barrage" bit was strictly in the gag-reel..

    Hannah, one of the production members, posted this BTS recap of the entire series. I love the music and editing in this. They look like they are having way too much fun considering the amount of work they put into this series. ;) Enjoy!

    The wrap video.



    Ya gotta applaud the team, regardless of what some people think of the personalities involved. The sheer passion these people have had for this project is visible in spades.

    Another amazing score by Andy Farber (NotHerbert on the forum) and an interesting interview with Craig Huxley and his Blaster Beam.

    Thanks for posting that! Very cool.

    Has Andy made the music tracks downloadable anywhere? He put the tracks for his earlier episodes on sound cloud, iirc.

    Very nice!

    Merry Christmas, dear STC fans! Thousands of you have been asking for years if our series would ever be available on DVD & Blu-ray. Because there is significant cost in having discs and artwork pressed & packaged, it’s not feasible for us to make physical discs since we cannot sell them.

    So, from the cast & crew of STC, our Christmas present to all of you is this: .iso files of all four volumes (all 11 episodes) of our series are now available for FREE download on our website!

    You can burn your own DVDs & Blu-rays, and you will also be able to download the artwork inserts & disc art for all four volumes for free as well! But that’s not all! We have also made available the full-sized (24x36) posters of all 11 episodes for free, including a never before seen custom STC series poster I've created. All of our shooting scripts can be downloaded as well!

    But wait, there's more! Many of you have asked about the original music that has been composed & produced for STC. We have made all of our original music available for free download, as well as the artwork and disc art for “The Music Of Star Trek Continues."

    So let’s recap:

    -.iso files for all four volumes (all 11 episodes) of Star Trek Continues on DVD & Blu-ray
    -Artwork inserts and disc art for all four volumes of our series
    -The official posters from all 11 episodes, full sized and ready to print
    -“The Music Of Star Trek Continues” CD file download
    -Artwork for the music CD case insert and disc
    -PLUS .pdf files of all 11 STC shooting scripts
