what exactly is wrong with this picture?

With all that said, I highly recommend you check it out for yourself. So without further ado here's Star Trek Continues episode 1 Pilgrim of Eternity.

Thanks for the recommendation. THIS. IS. AWESOME!

The sets and lighting are AMAZING. Kirk and Scotty are fantastic. I'm not as crazy about Bones and Spock, but there's enough other greatness to make up for it.

Do you happen to know what their expected turnaround times are for each episode?

My friends and I know of Vic Mignogna through his other work as a voice actor.  While he's talented, he's known to be a tad bit arrogant.  So, with that in mind, we watched it together and critiqued his. EVERY. move. It's pretty clearly a vanity project; look at how Kirk always gets the last word.  And, as much as I'd love to hate it on that alone, it's ... perfect.  We really enjoyed it, some of the acting aside.  The lighting, the music, even most of the cinematography - almost everything felt right, technically.    

I'd give it a B+.  The plot is compelling even with some of the Kirk fanwanking going on here.  And props to Michael Forest for bringing some gravity to an otherwise mediocre cast.  Needless to say, I'll be tuning in for the next episode.

 

More importantly, I started DS9.  Just finished season one, and I'm liking it.  I hear it gets... Miles... better, so I'm looking forward to the next few seasons.  It's a little slice of life to start out for sure.</span>

Awesome, bkev.  As you know, I do love me some DS9, and it does indeed get O'Brien better as it goes along.  I'd say if TNG's first two seasons were terrible and then it get great, DS9 is similar, only its learning curve wasn't quite as extreme.  It's just something of a TNG-lite towards the beginning before developing its own identity.

And I rather liked Bones.

Larry is a friend of Trek.fm, I know he was excited and nervous. It was kind of a last minute thing, he only had a couple week's prep.

From what I've heard I think they're trying to do two a year.

You know I've heard some of that floating around but so far I've seen no evidence of that in my encounters with the man in person.

 

Just purchased the book Vendetta, sort of a sequel to The Best of Both Worlds, with elements from the TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine."  Cost me one buck.  I'm excited to get into it, and I just finished watching TBOBW in preparation!

That was a good book.

I want to get this book some time.

I have that book, it's excellent!   They provide scrips and outlines for the planed episodes. Another excellent book that is a great companion to that one is...

 

 

Still haven't gotten the book I linked to, but the book you included here is now the property of darth_ender.  Price: $0.75 at a Friends of the Library bookstore :)

I will be done with Vendetta by midnight tonight.  It really is fantastic!  I expected more Borg, but the direction it took is more what Star Trek is about, with human(oid) drama and moral dilemmas.  I really have enjoyed it thus far, and expect to be satisfied with the conclusion.

Continuing this discussion from the Armchair Movie Critic Thread:

The transporter has always been a story problem in that it can be a magical problem solver in one episode or movie, that is forgotten about when a similar dilemma comes up. One reason it frequently gets damaged, or external phenomena renders it useless.

TAS and TNG opened a can of worms in using molecular patterns to reconstitute a character or restore them to health. (The person doesn't remember anything that happened after they last beamed out.) Which leads to the thorny question why you can't beam up someone who just died in your landing party and restore them to life, as the "alive" pattern is still in the buffer?

I don't like TNG Klingons. They're have no dignity, no intelligence, and no sense of proper hygiene. It's difficult to believe they're supposed to be the same creatures that show up in TOS or even the films.

SilverWook said:

Kor, Koloth and Kang (all first encountered in TOS) also appeared on DS9.

Only as modern Klingons, though, complete with long, tangled hair and bad teeth (and the obligatory rubber foreheads, of course).
