Star Trek Continues, Episode 4...

Oh, thanks for that. Forgot about Areel.

The problem with depending on Kickstarter and crowdfunding, as well as having a necessary operating budget that is relatively ample, is that they have to juggle between what they might want to do, as well as with what their fanbase wants.

From reading some of the many STC Facebook posts, a LOT of people want to see Klingon episodes, or sequels, or returning characters a lot more than they want to see entirely NEW characters and situations (Actually I sometimes slap my forehead while reading some of these as many can be totally ridiculous).

What does this mean? well I think we can surely expect what we have had from STC already, one episode with a returning character or a direct sequel, and one episode that dares to venture into less safe territory (Lolani in this case).

This may be true to some extent, but I think even the fans clamoring for sequels will be pleased as long as there are good, thoughtful, solid stories. It may just be the natural limits of imagination causing many fans to think "inside the box" and reach back to things that are already known.

I haven't seen people saying they dislike Lolani just because it's not a sequel (it may be their least favorite in some cases, but they're not trashing it).

I think this is very much the case.

Looks like they're going to do it. Only five days to go and they're only $3750 from an engineering set.

Recent update video announces they are filming Ep. 5 and that it will be an off-ship "on location" story.

 

[BoredShipCapt'n]

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

12 hours later, and they're only $2200 or so short of the engineering set.

I'll also agree that while Lolani was my least favorite STC episode it wasn't because it was poor quality or the fact it wasn't a sequel.

 

[Warped9]

Wow. Five days left and only 1700 bucks to go.

 

[Warped9]

Four days left to go they're only 900 bucks from Scotty getting his engineering room.

 

[Zaminhon]

$250 for Engineering. By the time I finish typing this post, it will probably be covered.

 

[Warped9]

Yep, looks like we'll be hearing, "Kirk to Engineering. Mr. Scott?"

Sweet!

 

[BoredShipCapt'n]

IT IS DONE.

 

[Warped9]

Nice!!!

Now if they can pick up a little extra change in the four days left maybe they can get some extra odds and ends.

Bugger that, I say aim high for the planet set!

If they get as many backers as last time, that's a thousand more people!

The level of support they are getting speaks volumes for the quality product they are putting out. I certainly hope they get enough for their planet set. Even if they don't hit a specific number, I wouldn't be surprised if they are able to get it done somehow.

Building new worlds, one styrofoam rock at a time!

Now all they need is to hire a pyrotechnics crew so they can have explosions and stuff. (That's where Grant comed in, I guess, although I think Jaime and Adam handled the explosives). I hope they remember to build the planet set raised so there can be trap doors for holes and graves and things.

Especially graves, with all those redshirts roaming around.
