From CHUD, A few years ago a number of people got together and started to make new episodes of “Star Trek” (the original series). They weren’t done to make money or sell merchandise; they were created because they loved the original show and missed “Star Trek.”
At first people doubted what they were trying to do, but now, after a few episodes, fandom has found the show and many have tuned in and seen these “New Voyages.”
So to help celebrate the premiere of Episode 3 - “The World Enough and Time,” the creators and the cast held a premiere in Beverly Hills and I was able to interview some of the cast and some of the original “Star Trek” actors who’ve done episodes of “New Voyages.”
And before getting to the interviews, I’d just like to say I’m extremely impressed with the level of quality of these fan made shows. Of course the first episodes showed the signs of learning as you go, but this new episode - which features George Takei as Sulu - is nothing short of amazing. The level of quality from the special effects to the script is amazing for a fan made show, and the show manages to capture what made the original “Star Trek” great.
If you’re a fan of “Star Trek,” you owe it to yourself to watch. I promise you won’t believe the level of quality.
And while these interviews were done a few weeks ago, I decided to wait to post them until the “New Voyages” website was up and running at 100%. It seems for the first week or two after the premiere, the traffic was so extreme that the site couldn’t keep up and many people couldn’t watch the episodes. Now the server and site are better equipped to handle the traffic and you can now watch what everyone is talking about.

Well, I didn't feel like watching the episodes (yet) or reading the interviews (ever), but I do love that old Trek spacesuit that dude's wearing.
