    I watched the whole thing just a coupla days ago. They did a great job!

    Backing this kickstarter is a no brainer. Well done, highly recommended.

    That's great stuff.

    All I need is to process the video into fuzzy 625 line black and white so that it looks like how remember watching the first Star Trek.

    I'll pass on the fuzzy B&W, but I would have been tempted to sign up for a download of each of the episodes.

    That was surprisingly impressive.

    Yeah, isn't it?

    To be honest, once I got used to the new faces, the overall experience is nearly identical to a classic "Star Trek" episode. About the only improvement I could think of would be to process the audio more 60's era style. A bit less dynamic range and a warmer mid-range would match the original series audio perfectly.

    They are 4% over the goal with 9 days to go. Looks like we helped!

    Very well done.

    I think it's a hoot that Mr. Sulu.is played by Grant Imahara of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters.

    Looks like they went to a lot of Tribble to make it, it was so well presented I was rooted to the Spock and it made me Klingon till the end was Gorn before I went to the Quatloo.

    I always like the old "set the transporter to maximum dispersion trick"

    Yep, the Number 3 slider. Leave that one down and they don't come back.

    Speaking of beaming (and getting back on track here), it's cool that Doohan's son is in the fan series. And, not that he hasn't kept busy, I enjoyed seeing Michael Forest (Who Mourns for Adonis) again.

    Please accept my Apollogies it was not my intention to incur the Wrath of McComb :smile:
    I realise the filmakers just wanted a Piece of the Action, so with a Wink of an Eye I accept that this is not Amok Time so i'm off for a shower, it's close to the Naked Time!

    Ugh. Spectre of the Pun.

    Where's a ticked off horta when you need one? Reduce me to a smoldering mound and put me out of my misery!
