As we move into a new phase here at ST: RTM, I would be remiss not to mention the Kickstarter campaign for Star Trek: Phase II (sometimes called Star Trek New Voyages, or Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II). STP2 is a fan film series that continues the adventures of Kirk’s crew, and has released 8 full length episodes, and a number of ~10 minute vingettes, since 2004. D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold have written for the series, which has also produced unused scripts for an aborted sequel live action Trek series that was reworked into Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Several classic Trek actors have participated, including Walter Koenig, George Takei, Grace Lee Whitney, and Majel Barrett.
The Kickstarter campaign has 5 days left, and as of this writing has raised $46,847 out of an original $10,000 goal. Check it out.
I will start posting discussion threads for episodes of Phase II, with mini-reviews, on Wednesdays, starting next week on June 11. Episode threads for TAS will start on Thursday, June 12. We’ll move on to Star Trek Continues when we finish with Phase II.
