'''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]]. | (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.

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. | There were a few guest appearances from minor TOS actors, and I know bigger ones appear in the future.

'''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. | |||

'''02''': To Serve All My Days ''[[2006]] [[November 23]]'' | |||
(First watched 2008-03-31, 04-01) Interesting. I can see how it would be appealing to [[Walter Koenig|Koenig]], both being a Chekov-heavy episode, and one where most of his scenes are sitting down talking. | |||
I may not be the #1 master of continuity, but it seems that Chekov dying at the end kinda contradicts what we know to be the future of Star Trek. Perhaps this will be taken care of in the next episode? | |||
Unrelated to Chekov, interesting to see both the old and new aspects of Klingons. Usually the 1960s style makeup and the 1990s style "honor society" didn't mix. | |||
