But I never leave a movie before it's done, so I'll probably keep watching for now. In fact, thanks for the comment because it's taken so long for episodes to come out, not a criticism, just observation, that I'd lost track of New Voyages. It just feels like being able to go home again, so I'll have to fire up Bit Torrent and check out the new stuff!

I understand this is a fan made production by a bunch of people playing Star Trek in their house, I don’t expect a lot of acting talent to be exhibited..But this guy is horrible. Most of his acting effort is focused on either looking pissed off while sitting in the Captain’s chair, or delivering his lines as if he’s pissed off. You wonder if the guy is suffering with hemorroids and acting accordingly ..When he does break with the “anger” mode and smiles, it kind of puts you off and catches you off guard. I just hate this guy as Kirk. Another major fault with these home grown episodes is no attempt whatsoever to re-capture and display the chemistry and relationships between Kirk, Spock, and “Bones” that made Trek, TREK!.. I think these home made efforts are laudable, but don’t intend to download any more of them..Not even the involvement of Star Trek veterans like DC Fontana or Walter Koenig can overcome the horrendous on screen effect the Elvis/Kirk has on these productions I’ve been a Trek fan for decades and have seen all the episodes made by the fan productions of “Star Trek New Voyages..While Special effects are much improved over the old show, and I thoroughly enjoyed Walter Koenig’s return as a “dying Chekov” in “To Serve All My Days”, I just can’t get past the horrible acting by the Elvis Impersonator/Captain Kirk.
