I know i am probably slow on this wagon, but I just watched one of the newer episodes of the fan made New Voyages (aka PhaseII), called World Enough and Time. They had guest stars such as George Takei playing Sulu and Grace Lee Whitney playing Janice Rand.
The production value was really high, much better than their first few episodes. And the addition of experienced actors improved the overall acting of the crew. And Christina Moses playing Sulu’s lost daughter is… hot.
And it was a beautifully written story that felt very trek.
I used to have trouble watching Phase II stuff, because after all they are fans with little acting experience imitate actors who weren’t great to begin with. But they are slowing getting there.
It’s sad to see some of the old crew leave. But I think the whole Phase II thing probably will be better than most stuff the film companies will give up…
