Original Star Trek - New Voyages - Fan Made!?!?
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2004 6:35 pm
I've just stumbled across something quite amazing. Seems there is an Enterprising group - pun intended - of Star Trek fans who have banded together to continue the original 5 year missions of the Enterprise.
The cast and crew are based in LA and many work within the entertainment industry - New Voyages.
Given that it is a labour of love situation, the writing and acting levels do not match professional levels. OTOH the level of detail given to sets, costumes, and SFX are stunningly well done. Classic poses and shots are captured in the end and title credits and the same music is used throughout the show.
They have one episode complete which you can find here: Come What May.
At the home site there is also a trailer available of the next episode - In Harm's Way!
As someone who grew up with the original series in it's initial run I have to geekily admit that I actually got goosebumps watching this.
