5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @08:22AM from the fascinating dept.

Okian Warrior writes "Hackaday brings us news about a continuation of the original Star Trek series. The Kickstarter-funded project is attempting to complete the original 5-year mission, which ended after only three seasons on the air. The fan-based and fan-supported reincarnation is cleverly titled Star Trek Continues and has CBS's consent. Check out the first episode, Pilgrim of Eternity. For being fan-made, it's actually pretty good." The attention to detail in the sets, costumes, and even lighting is incredible. It's far and away the most faithful re-creation of the original series I've ever seen.

If it's faithful to the original then it's going to suck. A lot.

Sadly, the acting is poor at best.
So ... you're saying ... it ... is ... very much .... like ... TOS? Damn it, GreatDrok, I'm a doctor not an acting coach. I canna give you more than 100% out of the dilithium, GreatDrok, she'll not take it. Fascinating.

I'm guessing Grant built a killbot and threatened to activate it in their lobby.

I just hope we get to see more of the buxom Dr. McKennah in these episodes. I mean see her in more episodes. Not her naked. Or naked is fine too.

There was no Animated Series. It is a myth like claims of sequels to Highlander and prequels to Star Wars.

Like pubic hair? Yea, I'm pretty sick of all this "look like a little girl when I'm really 30" crap, too.
Ugh...no!!!
Look at some good old, 70's pr0n....Debbie Does Dallas or the like, man...if you wanted to go down on one of those ladies, you'd better take a machete and a sherpa with you if you wanted any hope of ever returning alive!!
Seriously, I don't like mandatory flossing after eating....
Whoa whoa, 70's porn actually had good stories, today its all about 2 minute video clips on your phone.
This younger generation will never know about classics like Deep Throat. A woman who could not orgasm until a Doctor told her, that her clitiorous was in her throat.
Thats some brilliant writing right there.
