Star Trek Fan Films Live Long and Prosper

Weekend Edition - Saturday, July 22, 2006 · In a tiny town in rural upstate New York, sci-fi fans are correcting what they see as one of the great blunders in television -- NBC's decision to cancel the original Star Trek series.

On a sweltering Saturday afternoon in Port Henry, N.Y., James Cawley works on what looks like a Hollywood set. His life-sized replica of the USS Enterprise bridge sits in what used to be a used car dealership on the outskirts of town.

Now those are dedicated fans.

Intriguing captain.
 
Oh no. Not another one.
 
I'll watch that some time soon, when I'm not too busy. From the look of things in the photos, it seems to be a pretty professional production. Thanks for putting me onto it, Astro.
 
That's funny! And not bad really, considering. That is, when compared to the original series.

Is this the future of the internet; another fifty years of low budget Trek? :biggrin:
 
I prefer TNG myself.
