The Phenomenal Star Trek Continues!

It turns out to be Georgia! Yes, after the original Star Trek series went off the air, some time later (much later), actor Vic Mignogna and an incredibly talented bunch of fellow artists and filmmakers in the state of Georgia got together to continue the ongoing Original Series era adventures of James Kirk and the Star Trek Enterprise crew. The good folks on Wired have posted an excellent behind the scenes snippet of their work, which will frankly leave you a bit awestruck at the fidelity and level of commitment on display. CLICK THIS LINK to check it out for yourself. Frankly, it's downright eerie! There's even a sequel to "Mirror, Mirror" ("Fairest of them all") that actually shows us what happened back on the evil Enterprise after their true Captain returned, and it's awesome. The writing, the tone, the performances, the lighting, the sets, cinematography - everything feels like the original series, as though it had just kept on rolling.

If that intrigues you (and it should), full episodes and plenty of other excellent content are available at the Star Trek Continues website or on their YouTube channel. They're launching a "Kirkstarter" campaign to help fund episode 4, so consider lending a hand.

Massive congratulations to Vic Mignogna, James Kerwin and everyone involved with this amazing achievement. Live Long and Prosper!
