Star Trek Continues

This is off topic for this blog, but I just have to mention this thing I found...well actually my wife found it. While searching for something that now escapes her recall. We both wondered how, as long time Star Trek fans, we could be completely unaware of this....

Well enough with the preamble. If you haven't seen it, you must watch the web series, Star Trek Continues. It is eerily faithful to the tone, look, and style of the original series. The acting is acceptable, some is good, some just OK, and some is excellent. The special guest star, Michael Forest is outstanding. Overall the show is amazing. The sets, camera angles, music, and SFX sounds are exactly like the old show. It's a non-profit effort that looks to be much the creation of Vic Mignogna, who did the voice of Edward Elric in the Full Metal Alchemist. Vic does a good job playing Captain Kirk, who he looks much like in several shots, and also co-wrote, directed, and edited the first episode. I haven't watched the other episodes yet, but based on the first one it is well worth 51 minutes of your time.


This show is clearly a labor of love. It is the series that you and your nerdy friends wanted to create back in high school or college, except the people who created this are professionals who did a great job and made a show that other people would actually want to watch.


Live long and prosper.
