They are actually pretty good. Great writing, the actors? Well, they are getting by. I guess no better or worse than the TOS actors early on.
Doohan has his dad down pat. I have enjoyed the couple I have watched. They are done within the spirit of TOS and should go on. Fun stuff for sure. |

Wow best reviews I've seen so far. We get a lot of reviews on the web, even Cnet. Tell the board that the next episode (5) is gonna blow them away. It's a period piece - that's all I can give away for now. |

As a guy who watched Star Trek's premiere episode back in 1966, I think these folks have really nailed the look of the original series. The actor playing Spock is a little small (physically) and the McCoy actor is only so-so. Doohan nails his dad, accent and pitch is dead on. I like the shows done so far.
Thanks OP for the heads up. I had not heard of these guys before. |

Just got done with "Fairest of Them All".
Strangely enough, when the lighting and angles are just right, Vic Mignogna looks a LOT like Shatner's Kirk. At the same time, something about his voice and mannerisms remind me of Chris Pine's Kirk. It's interesting. Edit: Same thing with Chris Doohan... some moments had me wondering where the old footage of James Doohan came from.

I had a good time watching these episodes, as well as the other videos.
I was 9 when Star Trek appeared on 'color' TV. Glad my folks had a nice console with the AM/FM stereo and record player! 
I see this effort as genuinely respectful. The differences are to be expected. Shatner's Kirk was a bit more 'angry' and 'self-righteous', perhaps a bit more arrogant. Spock's replacement here might have it a little easier as the character requires more of a presence and attitude than the 'emotional' response, yet it's done extremely well. The new Sulu, in one of the vignettes, says the trademark "Oh, my!" but lacks the creepy, deep-voiced exclamation of the 'original'. Chris Doohan, wow...!...he's his Dad's Son, for sure, but l think he has a 'Pierce Brosnan' look to him. I see a bit of James Bond there! Uhura and the Doctor have some great tie-ins with the original actor's ways and words. And Chekov...always a classic, almost doesn't matter who plays him, they get one of the best parts of all~! The new counselor and blonde-kick-ass-babe... 
I'm enthused and thoroughly enjoyed about 4 hours of viewing the site. I think I'll watch the 1st episode again.

These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise It's continuing mission, to discover and subjugate strange new worlds To advance our dominion and vanquish all who stand against us To conquer the galaxy for the glory of the Empire! I always wondered what happened after evil Kirk returned to his universe 
Sulu: But Captain, there could be casualties...on both sides Evil Kirk: Then take Checkhov and put him in front!
