Later, he has a difference of opinion with a commanding officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thoughts:<\/strong> Well, that was nice, I guess. I recognize Lt. Arex at the navigator station. I don&#8217;t have much to say, so I will use this space to reflect on the series as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the last episode for now, but following their successful Kickstarter, there are four more Star Trek: Phase II episodes in the pipeline. I guess we can cover those as they pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a reflection of the achievement of this series that it feels like a safe target to criticize. The show doesn&#8217;t always feel like real Star Trek, but it does feel like a solid, real endeavor, and extremely impressive as an obvious labor of love for many. Some episodes work better than others. I really like the early episodes, especially the ones with Walter Koenig and George Takei. Kitumba rocked. Some of the lows are pretty low though&#8211;reminding us that when you&#8217;re doing Star Trek, no one wants to see you misfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish the producers the best. Keep getting better, keep inspiring other independent filmmakers, keep making amazing productions outside of traditional media outlets. Kudos to Paramount for allowing this to happen. I understand the next fan series for us to watch, Star Trek Continues, is pretty amazing. It&#8217;s clear this production paved the way for that achievement, and many more imitators and dreamers to come. Lo these 48 years later, look what Gene Roddenberry hath wrought.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xim_PuEgRRc\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xim_PuEgRRc<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Star Trek Phase II: 04xV4 &#8212; &#8220;Going Boldly&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-4998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-relive-the-majesty-fan-film-episode-threads","tag-kevin-black"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4998\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/relivethemajesty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
