    Absolutely!! Vic would be amazing at the role. He's already as real a Kirk to me as Shatner, and much moreso then Pine. I've always wanted an actual series on the TMP style Enterprise. There was so much work put into those designs and we barely see them. A few movies does not do that ship or style justice. I always wanted that, much more so then "finishing the mission."

    I've never seen those pictures before, just the video. Thanks for sharing. The STC crew looks fantastic in the monster maroons, and the TMP tunics have never looked better. That is awesome...

    Thank you for the elaborations on my points. You (and Maurice) absolutely nailed everything I was getting at. There were some serious hurt feelings of disrespect with the Mindsifter debacle, for sure, but Origins was definitely the biggest waste of the bunch. Ironically, it may have been what unintentionally launched STC. ;)

    I had no idea they had done that to Exeter. Very ironic, considering their anger at people jumping ship to STC. Didn't realize they had changed the goal of their engine room, either, but it makes sense, considering STC was already building theirs.

    NV/P2 were perfectionists in some cases, and completely destroying canon in others. Did they want to be an alternate timeline split into a Phase II with Xon and Spock and new engines on the TOS E and a grown Peter Kirk and an insanely late birth of David Marcus, or a bridge into the movies and future shows? It never seemed sure of its identity, and then got caught up in wanting to be perfectionists / compete with the new show and ended up completely combusting along the way. The Buck Rogers thing was a huge loss. They over-reached and failed, which was fine when it was on their own dime, but becomes an irritant after years of kickstarters and promises. The retconning of history to blame it on the guidelines is misdirection at best.

    Anyways, whatever happens at this point, I'm glad we have gotten what we did from STC, and wish them all nothing but the best, but am definitely holding out hope for a movie era series at some point. If anyone has proven that they have the talent, ambition and patience to get something done, its STC.

    Are the two parts going to be released separately, or will it be a movie-length finale without a cliffhanger?

    Two parts. Might cut it together into a film myself

    Might put that Khan thing at the end with 'Coming Soon' tease

    Just realized that I merged replies to two separate threads into this one. Must have been late, and didn't realize I was in two fanfilm conversations on similar topics at the same time. Sorry. Some of my repsonse was meant for the Cawley thread.

    I have just watched the backers download. This by far is the best episode yet. Outstanding performances and a huge cliffhanger. I can't wait to discuss it with you guys once everyone has had chance to see it.

    In addition to the ones already mentioned, I believe Christopher L. Bennett's Department of Temporal Investigations novel Forgotten History also features its own take on the end of the 5 year mission.

    Nice. I already posted this once before, but here's mine:

    Just watched the episode. Since we're not supposed to spoil anything, I'll just say for now that I thought it was great. Not every single episode in this series has been a winner for me, but there have been far more hits than misses and I'm sad that the next episode will be the last. Still, I'm eager to see how they wrap it all up.

    Wow. Very gripping. Wonder how long that "story" has been floating around in Vic's head.

    Episode 10 ticks all the boxes and is breathlessly good in every respect. Only thing I could criticize is a grammatical error the real Spock wouldn't have made.

    Quite enjoyed the episode myself when I watched it last night. There's more I want to say about it, but I'll have to wait until after the episode premieres. It was definitely an effective cliffhanger, and I'm excited to see how this story gets wrapped up!

    I loved it...........only briefly rolled my eyes when Kirk launched into a fistfight instead of just letting security guy shoot the guy in act 1!

    The best part was the initial fight on the planet and Kirk going immediately to the “Kirk’s Ripped Shirt” maneuver.
