This makes me SO happy!

The first episode is amazing! Production values right in line with TOS, actors who resemble and channel the originals, this first story line had the TOS flavor as well though I did detect some progressive influences that were very refreshing...until the whole---SPOILERS so I have to stop.

Many hate the Abrams reboot but I love it. But then I love most anything that pays homage (especially with humor) to TOS or TNG. Never got into DS9 or Voyager and I tried twice to get into Enterprise (adore Scott Baakula) but meh.

I would support this web series financially to keep episodes of this quality coming!

Watched an episode and loved it!  Thanks for the link!  I think reboots are outta control and way too glossy--especially for something like "Star Trek".  I want to see more canon movies--with Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, Michael Dorn, some of the cast of "Voyager" (which I loved) and "Enterprise" (also very cool).  Add new, great characters so "Star Trek" can continue without rebooting.  I was never able to get into "Deep Space Nine" too much, but I'll give it a go again some day.

I've watched a few of those and they are terrific!   Very, very, well done.
