Belatedly watching "Star Trek Continues," and I am impressed.

Script, production values, direction -- all very good. It has the feel of TOS (and James Doohan's son plays Scotty).

But it is very hard to adjust to the weak tenor voices of the actors playing Kirk and Spock, compared to the baritones of the original actors. That's a minor flaw, though, otherwise this is good stuff, if you liked TOS.

1. The studio is about an hour north of me.

I need to get up there. They give tours of the studio and sets. The production values are very good.

2. They are, and I particularly like how the evoke the feel of the early 1st season...

... many extras playing crew, rec room scenes, all contribute to making the ship seem "alive," which they couldn't afford to do for long in TOS. I wonder what the production budget was like.

3. Star Trek Continues was sheer excellence in fan productions.

Also check out Star Trek: The New Voyages. It is a similar high-budget fan-made show. (The actress playing Uhura is the same in both productions.)

4. I found the latest series to be unwatchable.

Some were one theme only for its brief season and others had too much psychology babble for me. So I dumped Paramount + because often it would not load.
