Right, I know this is April Fool's day, but I am not a prankster and I just came across this today.

Seems like something to while away a bit of time while remembering the old series.

I have seen this and it is true to the original. Sort of campy because they don’t have the big bucks. It would be neat to see them expand their effort.

Well, they certainly have the cheesy set, corny dialog, and background music down cold from the original series.

I’ve been watching it from the very beginning! 3 episodes IIRC.

Better than any of the other reboots as far as I’m concerned! So cool watching Scotty’s son, Grant Imahara and the others.

Better even than the original.

Hope it continues.

Star Trek: Phase 2 has also done some pretty good episodes.

The sets, costumes, props are all first rate and so is their special effects such as the ships. The acting is, of course, amateur (its all volunteers) but not bad.

the brainchild of long-time Star Trek: The Original Series fan — and producer, director, actor, voice-actor, musician — Vic Mignogna.

Isn’t he too short to play kirk?

Well I found this a while ago, and first scene of first episode is the introduction of a “Holodeck” to the TOS type storyline.... which means... sold out before it even started...

I have actually ordered and received Star Trek TOS seasons 1, 2, and 3.

It’s interesting to watch it again - I mean the whole series, kinda binge watching.

I saw a few episodes, and I thought it was great. Vic Mignogna, as Captain Kirk, seems to borrow heavily from the intonation and mannerisms of William Shatner’s over-acted Kirk, which really adds to the fun.

I love their episode that was set right after the Mirror Mirror episode.

Has anyone seen Star Trek phase 2’s episode Mindsifter? It is good and based on a short story I remember from reading in the 70’s.

Very cool. Always loved those Proton torpedoes! I wonder if this is on ROKU somewhere?

Dunno if you’re a Trekkie, but even if not you might know a few who are that might enjoy this. Don’t think it’s worthy of a Tech Ping, technically, but how about a Trek Ping?

I’ve watched a few of these on YT, and do appreciate the spirit. I was genuinely entertained, and not in any ironic sort of way.
