I'm more interested in knowing more about the deep fakes of the Phase II Enterprise in the drydock images as I know those photos well and I know that the Phase II Enterprise was never fully completed to the point those deep fakes show. Allegedly, Robert Able took the model, along with its molds, completed the model, but to more closely match the final TMP version as well as make additional models from the molds for use at Planet Hollywood, among other venues.

I'm sure most trek fans are aware of the fan film series Star Trek: Continues. imo, the best trek fan film series I've seen. Apart from the bridge and ship were built from the original blueprints, but the acting is really good. We even get Scott's real son playing Scotty. It starts exactly where season 3 ended on TV. Very enjoyable watch.

"Star Trek Continues" should have been picked up by cable or one of the networks. It is top shelf Star Trek, from the sets to the stories to the actors to the special effects. That it was fan-made is unbelievable. That there were only 11 episodes made is extremely saddening.

My only beef with STC as a lifelong Trekker since 70s, is they didn't account for Tas events. Placing Stc as if it would have premiered fall of 69 and within weeks or months since Turnabout Intruder in Trek time, doesn't allow enough leeway for Tas to occur between Turnabout and Stc ep1. Tas was considered to be picking up where Tos left off, continuing the Tos 5 year mission, with no more time between tos and tas than between Tos seasons, ie weeks or months. There was no question Tas was canon during its run, and I consider it such to this day.

Awesome breakdown and I didn't realize Shatner had the same issues that Nimoy had with the finances from the Network. Though I want to say Nimoy's refusal to sign on to more Star Trek was because he was bitter about being recognized only as Spock and that grew as he found out the studio was making a killing using his likeness without his permission which led to the lawsuit. In fact it was the studio needing Spock that caused the suit to be settled and Nimoy not only getting back pay but I believe gave him the contract that allowed him to direct later Star Trek 3 and 4.

James Cawley's Star Trek New Voyages (Phase II) kind of covered the remaining years of the '5 year mission' as a fan series, but ultimately Paramount pulled the plug on allowing longer fan-made shows. This fan series had a lot of input and involvement from TOS original cast and crew, and even had some eps from scripts that were never produced by Gene Roddenberry. Think the Cawley-made show was one of the better efforts as far as fan-made material went.

I have to agree. At first I was put off by the same things that I hear mentioned by most people who see it: it causes anxiety when you're hearing somebody say the names of Kirk and Bones, followed by you seeing that responding actors clearly aren't Shatner or Kelley and the quality of the (at that time) modern camera exposing all of the seams and painted cardboard sets that were hidden by the low fidelity limitations of the old cameras that were used when the show was first aired are two issues that immediately come to mind. However, once I grew accustomed to these changes and could approach the story on fair terms, I discovered that it was actually good stuff. Even if a viewer can't go as far I have in saying that it's "good", one absolutely cannot deny that it's Trek. It captures that Trek feel and manages to Trek all over that small screen just like the big boys used to do. As much as I appreciate TAS and absolutely consider it to be season 4 of the original 5 year mission, there is room in my head canon to accommodate the lore that added by New Voyages as beta content.

Shortly after Star Trek went of the air, the Neilson Ratings system added demographics. While the raw numbers were not great, the demographic numbers (in the highly desirable 20-40 range), were very good. If the ratings were calculated using demographics, NBC would have certainly given us a 4th season.

No telling what NBC might have done - it sounded like they were pretty much dead-set on getting rid of the show. Seems like there's always been a lot of that going around: FOX had a tendency to launch and then kill its own sci-fi shows, and the SyFy channel slaughtered more than a few of its better sci-fi programs in spite of enthusiastic (if small) fan bases in a desirable demographic, and the potential for shows to have done better with just a little more support from the networks. Just a small sample of the shows I recall getting clobbered by getting buried in "Graveyard Time Slots", pre-empted at the drop of a hat, rescheduled to mystery time slots without warning, subjected to brutal budget cuts and self-destructive executive interference (often taking the form of "science fiction is kiddie stuff, and doesn't need a budget or intelligent stories!"), and other such abuse include: - The original 'Lost in Space' (destroyed by budget cuts and increasingly juvenile story elements) - The original 'Doctor Who' (destroyed by budget cuts and misguided story elements forced by BBC) - 'Millennium' (screwed by FOX with scheduling shenanigans and executive meddling, when this darker-and-edgier "sister program" to 'The X-Files' failed to attract the other program's huge audience) - 'Firefly' (famous for being killed off by the network in spite of fan support) - 'Babylon 5' (struggled with on-again-off-again network support leaving its originally-planned 5-year story arcs in constant doubt) - 'Dark Matter' (killed off by SyFy for internal reasons in spite of fan support) - 'Space: Above and Beyond' (killed off by network scheduling and budgeting shenanigans) ...and that's just a sample. In FOX's case, it seems like there were the conflicting pressures of an executive team that hated sci-fi to begin with, struggling against the pressure to conjure up a show with immediate success comparable to that built up by 'The X-Files' over years, and the depressing fact that it costs much less to produce "reality" programming than it does to conjure up the special effects and story development budgets for sci-fi programming. The BBC was in a similar situation with the original 'Doctor Who' and 'Lost in Space': network "suits" hated or didn't understand the genre, and wanted to aim a virtually budget-less program at what was assumed to be a juvenile audience that would buy anything with space ships and aliens in it. The SyFy Channel's problems with 'Dark Matter' appear to have been dissatisfaction at the (creator-controlled) show's relative success compared to SyFy's own in-house programming, with 'Dark Matter' being replaced by a wrestling show of all things (which failed to draw any audience on SyFy!) In general, genre programming runs into "cut off one's nose to spite one's face" kind of reaction from The Business; there's a lack of respect for genre programming in the network business, which doesn't mix well with the expense involved in creating a good sci-fi program compared to alternatives like "reality" programming. I've a feeling NBC would have killed 'Star Trek' off even if it had understood the show's demographic better! They seemed pretty relieved to have gotten rid of it, even after their competitors were surprising themselves by making bank with it in syndication....

In addition to a new Star Trek series to anchor UPN in the 90s, that happened again when CBS, holding the IP rights, launched “CBS All Access” as a streaming service, with Star Trek: Discovery as a show exclusive to the service. Other new Trek shows soon followed, and “CBS All Access” rebranded to “Paramount+” when CBS and Paramount merged, bringing Star Trek IP ownership back to Paramount.

The Star Trek animated series was the jewel. As the special effects to launch those episodes did not exist in the late 60s, they produced a cartoon series with the original cast doing the voice overs. Some of those episodes were amazing. It was available as a DVD set years ago.

I will never forget the next year just expecting it to be back on, and it wasn't. I thought this must be a mistake, it will be on next week, nope, it was cancelled. It won like best animated series then was cancelled.

I was just a bit too young to remember the animated series when it was new - most of my cartoon-watching was back in the late '70s and early '80s, when cheap animation was pretty much normal on Saturday mornings! (See most Hanna-Barberra programming available at the time....) So, the animation never bothered me. But, the fact that there weren't many episodes of it, combined with the fact that it only rarely turned up in programming in my day, meant that it was a weird sort of situation of vaguely remembering a couple episodes of "that weird Star Trek cartoon" turning up among our Saturday Morning Cartoon watching somewhere in a random soup of disjointed programming that might have included "Star Blazers", "Rocky and Bullwinkle", "Wonder Woman", "Speed Racer", "Laugh-O-Lympics", the "Three Stooges" cartoon, "Captain Caveman", "Ultra-Man", "The Electric Company", the "Bugs Bunny and Road-Runner" show, "Lost in Space", "The Muppet Show", "The Bowery Boys", "Japanese Spiderman", "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Popeye", "Space: 1999", "The Green Hornet", "Space Ghost", "Woody Woodpecker", some strange '60s cartoon show that kind of randomly featured Namor the Sub-Mariner or the Incredible Hulk or Thor or the Fantastic Four with minimalist animation, "Jonny Quest", Godzilla movies, "Three Stooges" shorts, "Super-Friends", Hammer horror movies, or pretty much anything and everything else our local TV station happened to have available and felt like showing that weekend. The TV Guide may or may not have given you an accurate idea of whatever was scheduled for that Saturday morning, so you just woke up, turned on the TV, and watched whatever the hell came on, in vague confusion enhanced by a sugary breakfast cereal rush and a blur of loud commecial ads. With 20/20 hindsight, there was a vaguely psychedelic quality to the whole experience, and I can't help thinking the target audience was as much former-hippies as it was their children. Really, it was a strange time to watch TV!

There was a new magazine released in the early 70s called STARLOG . It started as a STAR TREK fan magazine , until STAR WARS became a worldwide hit . Then it became a science fiction magazine . Anyway , I think it was made to help with the release of the PHASE 2 series . From what I remember reading , the new series would have a new cast and a different objective : being more about the Federation and it's politics instead of just being about the USS Enterprise and crew .

Leonard Nimoy had to have possessed great discipline to keep from cracking a smile when popping up in a Carol Burnett skit. I can understand how Nimoy didn’t want to be type cast, but looking back now, Nimoy’s Spock had one of the most positive impacts on generation after generation. Same with Shatner’s Kirk. But they really did get screwed over in multiple avenues. Yeah, who would know in 1966 how much of a phenomenon Star Trek would become, but…

Hard to believe that a show could run without paying the actors residuals. That would be discouraging I am sure. Shatner and Nimoy had appearances in other things prior to Star Trek which showed they had the talents they brought to the roles they made huge. People loved all the characters, Interesting theat Captain Spock and Captain Kirk were both at that rank on the bridge at the end and poor Ensign Kim could not get promoted that whole time on Voyager. lol

As someone who has the privilege of seeing all 3 takes on Star Trek, the original series (when growingup), the next generation (which was my Favorite) and the Abrams depiction (which i was VERY critical of at first)...i can honestly say after watching the Abrams movies a few time i kind of wished they could have taken it to a series with ALL the crew for at least 1 year...but the actors and actresses all moved on to other movies...but just think what it could have been like with modern FX applications...

I wonder what the Star Trek Phase II TV series would have been like If It did happen In the 1970's ?! I do agree with the Star Trek Phase II TV series Executive Producers that the Star Trek Phase II TV series would have been difficult to make If Actor: Leonard Nimoy had refused to repise his role of Mr. Spock In the TV series. That would been awkward and It would have been very difficult to resolve. I might NOT have liked the Star Trek Phase II Vulcan Character of Xon portrayed by Actor: David Gautereux. I think It might have been a good idea to abandon the Ideas for Star Trek Phase II In favor of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Movie. At least the whole original cast was able reunite for the Star Trek: TOS movies.

Almost everything about TOS films films was perfect (production, music, acting, story, etc.) Even with flaws they are great. The folks who made the six films were outstanding. As a Star Trek fan I was disappointed that there was not the same high quality of production for the TNG films. They could and should have made better films, then they would have made more.
