    The hell??

    This.... is real. And they all look pretty damn young. But post-series. Did they build that bridge just for the commercial??? No way this was from '66- '69.....

    WTF???

    When was this filmed???


    My brain hurts.

    It's makeup and lighting, not the actual actors. It aired outside of the US. From the comments:

    The voice actors synching to the fake actors really creates the mental illusion that it really could be the real characters. Scotty and Uhura were down right creepy in how perfect they look. The voices complete the illusion.

    Too bad Shatner and company (whoever is left) can't do voiceovers for Trek Continues episodes.....

    Didn't he die some where back in the early '90's?

    I'd like to see Frankie R. Faison play The Good Doctor.

    I was thinking Karen Gillan, but if we want to go younger her cousin Caitlyn Blackwood. (Though at 18 she might be too young :lol:)

    John Slattery would make a dashing Dr. Boyce. And I bet he makes a mean martini. :cool:

    Mad Men's Roger Sterling.

    Here’s my crazy, left-field choice for Boyce on a Discovery I’d like to see: David Lynch.



    I could see him handing Anson a drink.

    Damn, for a guy whose so wonderful 'behind' the camera, he sure sucks when in front of it.

    Having David Lynch get anywhere near Trek, in any form, would be (IMHO) an extremely terrifying prospect.

    Maybe they should be related, that would be interesting.

    I would love to see the episode where they find a rift in space that leads to the other dimension known as the Black Lodge and it's strange, otherworldly, alien godlike inhabitants. It honestly doesn't even feel like too much of a stretch........
