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.

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.

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