i just found this web done show by accident and the two episodes done are on youtube , i've only watched Lolani the second one done but was impressed , it had the feel and look of the original , they also got one of James Doohan's sons to play scotty , to add they got Erin Grey and Lou Ferigno to be guest stars in it , check it out , if the first one is as good as this one was i can't wait for more and would hope that paramount would have the sense to authorize dvd releases because i know it would be too much to consider making it a weekly series on tv and even if they did besides saving money and making money on it they would corrupt it by asking for things to be done that shouldn't be and changing the actors , also doing it weekly the stories would probably suffer , ok i've gone on too much , if you like trek look it up and let us know what you think , i thought the web series new voyages / phase II were interesting but didn't capture the feel of the show.

I have watched the first episode. It was OK. I liked the fact that James Doohan's son plays Scotty.
I will watch episode 2.

both were pretty good, also Scotty was the best, dead on for James Doohan (of course). the rest just so so looks wise but very good on speech patterns.
very nice use of set/music, decent story lines (second one much in the line Gene R use of social problems for content).
Given the current crop of junk TV this is great! It was refreshing to see stories told with minimal use of expensive effects. Just tell the story and get some good actors to relay the emotions.
Wonder why no Janice Rand? I know she was not on long but man what an impression she made back in the day.

no janice probably because they are trying to do this as if it were season 4 and janice was long gone before season one ended , it looks like they added the councilor as a sort of janice
yeah instead of a lot of running and jumping they are doing like the series and telling a story , still impressed with this vic guy , he is not imitating shatner but doing the motions and similar speech patterns shat would do and enterprise looks like enterprise something they've goofed up in other productions , others its too dark or turns to lines when going to warp , not in the original show should it do that.

right forgot the premise that is was continues, duh, no Janice. I don't recall if they every explained her being gone in TOS, so maybe she could return?
The sets look great, and the capt def gets the shatner feel.
The doc needs to work the country accent a bit more, but for the most part they do a good job.
Fun to watch.
