Just finished binge watching this—couldn’t help myself. Loved it! Well written, good acting, and loved the retro style and film noir atmosphere. It’ll be a long wait for Season 2.

Late to the party as I just discovered this. Love the retro setting and style. It’s definitely a fantasy with gender and racial swapping of characters. If you can get past that I find it quite enjoyable. Not sure this is for kids. Some of this strikes me as quite adult oriented. I like this a...

"Lolani" - 4/5 Stardate 6154.1 - An Orion slave girl is the only one alive aboard a derelict Tellerite ship. Overall I rather like this. In many respects it strikes me as a story we could have seen on TOS. Here they took something that was almost a throwaway idea in TOS and made it a central...

I started watching last year and then real life sidetracked me. I was sufficiently intrigued that I want to get back to it.

A big issue with the actors in the JJ films is the direction they were given in addition to all the other crap going on. Pine, Quinto and Urban might have been fine enough in a much better produced, vastly better written and serious minded film. But as is their portrayals are forever tainted by...

Disagree. And while Quinto is meh I think Peck absolutely stinks as Spock. But, whatever.

Good suggestion. I’ve added the link to the first episode in my review post. I just realized I completely overlooked a few tidbits in my review. The opening scene is quite unusual for a TOS episode as we open in what appears to be an Old West setting with a cowboy dressed in black pointing a...

Dude, where ya been? Nice to see you back. Or have you just been lurking? This being a first effort I found myself cutting them some slack in some respects. I do agree that we do see a beginning of some issues, but for the sake of some here who might not have seen these productions yet I’ll...

I have long imagined that the barrier was actually more than just a strip of energy, but that it was visible only when viewed at a particular angle. In that light maybe you can’t go over or under it and if you tried that part of the barrier would seem as if it’s always directly in front of or...

True enough. But humans do mark borders and we’ve been doing it for a very long time and will continue doing it. A lot of borders between countries are agreed upon lines even if there is no actual physical border visible beyond occasional features in the landscape like a river or something...

The dialogue in the episode underlines the Enterprise crew could not imagine how the Valiant got that far out. The impression is the Valiant predates the establishment of mining facilities on Delta Vega.

“Pilgrim Of Eternity” - 4.5/5 Stardate: 6147.3 - The Enterprise encounters once again the being known as the ancient Greek god Apollo. From the get-go this is very much a treat. As a long devoted TOS fan this was really fun to watch. Yes, there is the adjustment of seeing new actors in place...

Gene was very much a horn dog. And fortunately we weren’t watching a Roddenberry biography, but a very cool science fiction, action/adventure drama called Star Trek. As I stated upthread I think Haberkorn was fine, but no one can replace Leonard Nimoy. And candidly no one can replace any of the...

Whatever issues regarding Vic Mignogna off screen might be I’d rather not have them rehashed here. Whatever anyone thinks one way or another no one is going to convince anyone else of changing their minds about it. If they really want to discuss this then, please, discuss it somewhere else...

Maybe so, but New Voyages/Phase II never worked for me. So it’s a pass for me.

I never heard about any of the issues surrounding Vic Mignogna. And to be sure there is no shortage of actors that have had issues in the real world even as we might have enjoyed their performances onscreen. When I'm watching something I'm trying to immerse myself in that world and not...

Mods: if you feel this should be in the Fan Productions forum then move it there. But given STC is so tied to TOS I thought it would have greater exposure here in the TOS/TAS forum. It's been quite awhile since I've done a Star Trek series rewatch and I still plan to do that, but recently I've...

Yeah, that never made any sense to me either. If they’re so far out there then how do you explain the existence of an automated mining facility on Delta Vega so handily within range on impulse? When people refer to the “edge” of the galaxy the immediate assumption is they’re referring to the...

I never thought about it before until now, but in “The Savage Curtain” Scotty remarks the transporter didn’t have enough power to beam up Kirk and Spock, and if they tried they’d “come aboard a mass of dying flesh.” That line of dialogue in TOS, a decade before TMP, was not only eerily...

And I call bullshit on this, story wise. McCoy has shown enough times not trusting technology that he had to know something was still wrong. There is absolutely no way Lester/Kirk could have passed this examination.
