I just discovered this show, I'm only halfway through but I'm not rushing it because it's so great and I don't want it to end, so I'm doing 2 episodes a week! The sets are great, I especially like the transporter room, many others got that rear panelling so wrong, the costumes are spot on, and the cgi is IMO an improvement on the cgi replacements on the official remastered episodes too because they match the original show's look and feel better (bright luridly coloured planets, simple mechanical looking effects and motions, neither too realistic nor too flashy) and the entire cast do a fantastic job imitating the style of the original actors. My only small criticism is often times the lights on props and sets are LEDs, it's a tiny point but they really stand out cuz they don't pulse softly on and off like the original randomly flashing bulbs they used back then, they blink in a perfect binary pattern that feels really anachronistic to me, but I'm guessing most people probably wouldn't even notice and it doesn't detract me too much from an otherwise wonderfully faithful recreation, even the direction and music is just like the original. Amazing!

This replication of TOS far surpassed in my opinion even the reboots with Chris Pine and company, it really captured the true essence of TOS. Vic for one did Kirk so well that he is interchangeable with Shatner any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Spock was done far better than Zachary in any of the movies and Scotty with Chris Doohan was almost perfect. McCoy was done very well too in short, the series is a masterpiece and deserves its place in the Star Trek Hall of Fame. It is my sincere wish that perhaps they can regroup for a motion picture one day. I'm speechless and awestruck!

It's hard for me to fathom how this fantastic project escaped my attention this long. Certainly not parody, not even really homage, miles beyond typical fan fiction, it really does come across like a continuation - -lost episodes- as I saw it expressed elsewhere. Side note, the portrayal of the Captain seems like 70% William Shatner and 30% Kirk Douglas - has anyone else made a similar observation? (Funny coincidence that Douglas's name would be -Kirk-) Kudos to all!

These episodes are in some ways BETTER than some of the TOS ones. Extreme attention to detail in every aspect which can't be faulted. I am so very very pleased to have found these - and seeing VM's extraordinarily good Kirk (I bet William Shatner couldn't do it as well) brings it all together. Live long and prosper, guys, you really should all be incredibly proud of yourselves. Well done and thank you.

Vic the cast and crew did such a fine job on STAR TREK CONTINUES. I really hope that the gang might consider doing a few more (perhaps under a new name that does not include words STAR TREK in the title and no STARFLEET insignia or references to get away with it legally? Just hoping! It was easy to become a -BIG FAN- of you all. Seriously EASY!

Who do we write to if we want to try to get you back. This show needs to step out of the Kick Starter world and be produced by a major production company. Keep the actors, keep the writers, keep everyone here, but it needs to be put back on TV. Perhaps Netflix or something if it has to. You are all too good to NOT have come back.

I may be a BIT late but I just happened across the Star Trek Continues series. I think it is great. I grew up on TOS and I think the sets, stories, and portrayal of the characters pay homage to the original. Wasn't sure how I would like it but I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. Thank You for the series.

I just happened upon this AMAZING show, and could not be happier! You all have done such a wonderful tribute to the original series and have brought such joy to us Trekkies! It's like watching an episode from the 6o's. The sounds and music are PERFECT!

Vic Mignogna: I'm about to give you a compliment similar to the one that I gave to Leonard Nimoy about 25 years ago: Thank you for giving me years of delightful entertainment! PLEASE Crowdfund a ST Continues movie (like Renegades, only better, in your style.
