    Everything feels rights, and honestly few minutes in and most would tend to forget it's not the same cast / show! Do you usually need prescription glasses to watch TV? Take them off if you were a fan of the original because apart from the faces, there's no telling this apart!Love it!

    I am a huge Star Trek fan and over the years have greatly enjoyed all of the Star Trek series as well as the many movies . My Favorite series was & always will be the original Star Trek, with Shatner, Nimoy & the rest.So when I was lucky to find Star Trek Continues, I was absolutely & happily mesmerized with it from the first episode on.The way it picks up & continues on from some of the original episodes is brilliant. The stories are very well written & the actors are top-notch in their roles. Vic Mignogna plays William Shatner's Captain Kirk to perfection & Todd Haberkorn does the same for Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock.Everything about this series is purely amazing, especially for the fans who started with the original Star Trek in the 1960's.I look forward to watching the last 3 episodes but will be saddened to see Star Trek Continues come to an end. I recommend this Web series to everyone!

    It is really hard to rate a fan production of any kind, let alone one that aims to recreate Trek's original series. It took me a couple of episodes to warm to the characters, but ultimately 'Continues' leaves all other fan series for dead. It is well written and generally well acted, and it is easy to mistake the meticulously crafted sets for the real thing.Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn put in fine performances as Kirk and Spock. Grant Imahara is a capable Sulu, but looks a bit like he has gone to warp drive a few too many times. Chuck Huber's horrid hairpiece detracts from what is otherwise a very good performance as Dr. McCoy. The other main characters are a mixed lot, but none of them are in the 'total disaster' category (unlike other unnamed fan series). They even manage to nail the 'cornball corner' moments as well as any replicator out there. And there are 60s-looking babes aplenty (need I say more?).For mine it is the sets, costumes and production design that really distinguish this series from the others. A few CGI-FX tip that the series is well-and-truly beyond the 60s. Other than that, it would be pretty easy to pass the series off as the genuine item if it had of aired in 1970... and that's no mean feat.Don't expect great Trek, but if you are satisfied with a bit of nostalgic fun, this series is well worth checking out.

    A bit of background. I'm a huge fan of TNG still watch it today. Watched a few episodes of TOS in my youth when it was rerun on TV and liked it very much. Watched the top rated episodes of DS9, Voyager and Enterprise and did not like any of them very much, didn't bother with other episodes. To sum up, Picard is by far the best captain, Kirk is also great (to be clear I would personally get along better with Kirk but think Picard is the better captain).Now Star Trek Continues is really very good. The attention to detail, the way its made to look like TOS, very well written stories, morality and ethics are the prominent themes (and less of the politics and mind games tripe of DS9 et al). Acting ranges from superb to very good. The best thing about it is that its not made by a big studio and they take their time to make very good episodes. So I believe this series combines the best of what makes the Star Trek franchise so great. Happy watching.
