I want Vic Mignogna & crew to have a continued, long mission. If I hadn't, I don't know how many more of these wonderful episodes, because, personally, I really dislike the latest 'alternate time-lime' films (not the cast - I hate the ship - BLECH! - and the stories), and this series and it's counter-part keep me - and many others -very happy. I hoped then - and still am - that I heard it wrong. A few months ago, I was saddened, when I read that CBS - the holder of © for Star Trek - had said they'd allow the fan shows to continue - but, they couldn't be more than 30 minutes, they couldn't contain any crew members, nor could they tell stories which reflect back on anything we loved. Several episodes - such as this one - are tied to the original series - be it, a 'part 2', or, in this case, an.'alternate' to what was offered elsewhere. Kepping it short everyone involved - both in front of, and behind the camera - is here, because they love Star Trek, and they all deserve applaud, for making this series as high calibre, as it is. The crew here is terrific - some faces will be familiar - such as Sulu, is Grant Imahara of Mythbusters, and usually the guest stars are quite a pleasant surprise - here, the lovely Tory Foster, from the fantabulous Battlestar Galactica - is onoard, for this episode, as Kirk's flame, and the scientist, who help unravel the mystery of the plot. If William Shatner's seen this, I'm certain he'd be proud, and laugh. Vig Mignona - the 'hyphenate' at the helm here (he's Kirk, and creator, and producer - you name it) does a terrific job of being a scene-chewer all of his own. I was initially wary of not 1, but, 2 fan-made series being of such high quality, but, this gang has happily corrected me. I'm a huge fan - both both this, and Star Trek phase II, The Voyage Continues.
