Great to see Jeff Quinn and Julienne Irons again! She's the hottest Uhura ever!! Better then Zoe Saldana!! Also, nice to see the parallels between Kirk and Kargh.
I love these Phase II episodes; both the full-length ones and the vignettes. So much care and passion goes into making these. Kudos to Mr Cawley and the entire Phase II company; giving TOS Star Trek the fourth season it never had...
I love the series, it has a very authentic Trek feel, but I've got to ask:
Kargh was going to use terrorist attacks against civilians to draw Starfleet away so that he could conquer a defenseless sector? Not only is he going to kill "millions" in the ultimate cowardly attack, but he's doing so to specifically avoid a fight?
That's the least honorable and least Klingon plan I can think of. That's beneath even the most treacherous of Romulan commanders.
Wow, I really liked some of the earlier first episodes but this IMO is just awful. I couldn't watch it, sad to say because some of them were terrific! (sigh)
@Tuskin38 I hear ya, but I thought, and I don't like saying this, the acting was just awful. The shots of Kirk and his reactions shots around the campfire were less than film school quality. Whether it's a vignette or a full length episode- it should still work. And I don't want to be harsh but I do want to be honest. I guess I just expected more :( Still love Trek though :)
@xetaprime P.S. I don't care a bit about special effects btw. It was all the other stuff. Not meaning to offend anyone. I've been a fan since the Original series aired.
@alexfuji86 : I have no idea, I just know she disappeared after episode 3. I didn't mean to suggest I'd ever met her, or had special knowledge, or anything. Just that I couldn't help having noticed her, that's all. Presumably she's fine. They seem to have a relatively rapid turnover in casting. But then ST:NV has been going on now for at least 5 years.
"your flank is exposed." and a lovely flank it is! lol! great stuff! phase 2 just keeps getting better and better! you really capture the feel i had watching tos when i was a kid. please keep them coming, im sure you can tell by my youtube name, i love star trek!
I would like to coin a word for the fans who love the films so much that they dedicate themselves to the production of new films and with the use of their own acting skills = Fan + actors "FANTORS" or perhaps "FANATORS."
good work. you guys have really come a long way in a short time period. i have a prediction that you will be making movies displayed in the theaters in the next few years. the vicarious thrill we get from watching you fan/actors produce your films is exhilarating (borrowing Khan's adjective from Search/Spock).
No disrespect to Abrams and cast, but I have to say that Cawley & co, for my money has a better feel for what original Star Trek was about than anybody else out there. Keep up the good work guys.
Fantastic!! Been looking forward to seeing the rest of the Vignettes, and thanks for posting this one. Any possibility of seeing any others, than this one and Center Seat?

I love the dichotomy of the two commanders who beat their respective "no win scenarios".
Well done!

Good to see Jeff Quinn back, albeit briefly, as Spock. I think he's the best of the three chosen for the role in the NV series.

@Telionis1 TOS Klingons were based on the Mongols, not like TNG, where they somehow became Space Vikings.
And the Mongols were.....very, very bad people.

I liked it. Sounds like this is going to be a good story when it's finished. James, cast and crew have given us another fine episode to watch.
I hope when all the vignettes are finished, they put them together into a full length episode.

Excellent vignette.
Star Trek: New Voyages (Phase II) is very professional, and captures the look and feel of The Original Series spot on.
One thing about this vignette though. Just WHO carries a HUGE tribble around inside his cloak for such a use? Too funny!

Oh, (-sighs-) did I used to fancy her!
She was one of the cast that was an aspiring actor. I hope she's okay.
ST New Voyages has been round long enough now, that it's nice and warming to see all their faces again.
Love the concept, and the Tribble touch.
