'''Pilot''': Come What May
'''Pilot''': Come What May ''[[2004]] [[January 16]]''


(First watched 2008-03-01)  Admittedly at this time I've seen TOS less than any of the modern Trek shows, so I am perhaps not the best judge of how accurately these guys mimic its particular style.  However, I'm sorry that for a show that claims to be trying to continue on as if TOS hadn't been cancelled, it falls into the same sort of trap [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]] often did: wanting to reference things from the future.  This episode both had an appearance by a Borg ship and had Kirk and Spock see visions of the future, giving the actors reason to recreate snippets of movies [[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek I]] through [[Star Trek: Generations|Generations]].

There were a few guest appearances from minor TOS actors, and I know bigger ones appear in the future.  I know this is a "fan" production, but some of the people working on it must have the right connections to get such support from the get-go.

'''01''': In Harm's Way ''[[2004]] [[October 8]]''
(First watched 2008-03-02)  Not bad.  Like a [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3|Yesterday's Enterprise]] for TOS, except this time the temporary timeline put a Klingon on the bridge instead of taking one off.
Again it took advantage of referencing future things, though, by having an appearance from future [[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|Star Trek VI]]-ish era Kirk, Spock, and Enterprise-A.
