Behind the Scenes With the Star Trek Fan Reboot

SternisheFan writes: The original Starship Enterprise was on a 5-year mission, but the original series was canceled after the third year. A continuation of Star Trek:TOS is being created by a dedicated cast and crew intent on keeping true to the spirit of Gene Roddenberry's television show. From recreating the original sets with incredible accuracy and attention to details, staying faithful to original storylines has been a true labor of love for all involved. Here are a series of videos showing the progress being made on recreating the iconic series. (And if you missed it last time, here's the first episode they produced.)

So, to summarize....it sucked so bad that you watched hundreds of hours of it?

I had a slow Saturday and just finished watching the 3 completed shows (all for free on YouTube!), and I was very much entertained by what a fantastic job they did! Especially when considering how tight their budget must be (the end credits have a blurb about how 'no money' is being made from this show).

The look and feel of the TV show is preserved, from the background music to how the way the show was lit. The actor who originally played the god Apollo is re-cast in the first episode, green skinned alien women in the second show, and the third has final closure to what happened to the Harkonnens after the episode 'Mirror Mirror' ended. Goateed Spock is back!

If you were ever a fan of Star Trek, you'll enjoy these remakes.
