Fans always will.

This is awful

@@James.G.Ireland These fan films are self-funded. We who made these episodes used our own money. Considering we made this ep for under $100K? It's a great ep, considering Trek costs $6-$8million per ep

@@James.G.Ireland you must be fun at parties.

​@dennis hotston I just started watching these episodes for the first time and enjoying them. Thank you.

Glad he got a REAL wife in this episode.

Yes,I agree!Mr.Sulu finally got a family in this episode,which meant…..he finally retired,right?

Damn enjoyable episode I must say

Oh please

I 100% agree with you. I grew up with ST:TOS, and this episode had me locked into that energy you're talking about. Written so well, distilled essence of the show I grew up loving. This easily translates through the production values of this fan production, and I'm filled with gratitude toward everyone involved.

Yes it impressed me too which is not easily done.

I agree. Also, the actor who plays Kirk looks like the son of Carl Sagan, which is awesome!😎

Wow this is magnificent

Thank you for sharing that. I am also sorry for your loss...

May I ask a question of you? I don't wish to pry nor cause offense. However, a friend of mine is going to lose is wife in the not too distant future. I, too, have always found the, "I'm sorry for your lose" to be so trite and so, well, frankly unhelpful. So, my question is this: Is there some better phrase? Is there some better way to show empathy without it sounding so artificial? Again, I don't wish to pry. So if you'd rather not answer, I understand.

@@charlesnolan7602 🤣 case in point........

@@SlimThrull actually the best "response" was from an Irish friend who does not mince words, she simply said "that's bloody awful". While I wouldn't recommend that a sincere "I am so sorry" followed by silence and PRESENCE is the most sincere. Leave out the "for your loss". The person knows why you are sorry. Just being physically present and letting the grieving person talk, cry, or just sit in silent companionship are the absolute BEST responses. If you are "hugging" friends, give that person a hug. but beware, that physical contact may also set them off. (as I type this, I am crying). The crying never really goes away 3 years later. It only takes a second and I am right back in the hospital room on the last day again. also not abandoning your friend after a period of time. People had warned me to take any help clearning out, etc right away because people will move on with their lives and forget about you. The problem is one is so paralyzed that by the time one is ready to physically clear out things, no one is around. It is excruciating. I am living in another country without a support group, but I have a job, so I stay. Let the grieving person set the pace. Don't ask, SAY what you will do. "I am coming Monday to take you to lunch", etc. "I am coming over to sit with you". Just be present in the griever's life. Thank you so much for asking.

Get it together man. ST Continues is and will always be the best fan-made series. Takei's insane politics kept him out of it.

@@PaulStallion It's possible to enjoy both series, some people worked on both.

@@PaulStalliondude. Come on, man.

The only Star Trek episode that brought tears 😭 to my eyes,was;The Empath.This was;awhile ago,now!

It would be nice since he's sat in that exact Captain's Chair at this set.

​@@Lee-Darin Very cool.

In another new generation episode,Mr.Cawley played;Elvis Presley,as Captain 👩‍✈️ Kirk was in;’a crazy 😜 house.”It was in the episode;”Mindbender.”

I agree this was a great story

GOT ME TOO

Here too. Just now.

Aye aye Captians; this episode truly was a masterpiece. Very touching and moving; reminded me of the ST:TNG episode with Picard's life in a moment. I've had a dream like that - very frustrating when you awaken. Well done.

yes 64!! great episode...I miss the stories....

It got me as well :)

I also enjoyed this episode as well!It has the “old school’Star Trek episodes,here!The actress who played;Alana was great,but,I wasn’t sure if she would’ve been a character that I would’ve liked at first.But,I think,she was 👌 okay.After all,Captain Kirk had a love 💕 interest of the week!He certainly did on the original show of the 1960”s!

I have watched this one before tear jerker ending

'caveman sulu' LOL

@@duckling4393 What? It's the best interpretation I could come up with.

I was hooked after 15 minutes

Nahhhhhhh

@@salvagemonster3612 Wow, you're a laugh a minute aren't you.

I can say Mr Takei was very happy to be there and doing his job.. as everyone was, and I can send a belated THANK YOU to everyone who stuck by Trek back in the day As he said it was us who kept it going all these years.

Simply because it's GREAT!

Well-deserved!!!!

As I pointed out to the director's son, not long ago, this episode had all the hallmarks of a production directed by Gerd Oswald ... just like the Old Series episode he directed, which also had a Shakespearean ambiance, a sad outcome for the leading lady, and a broken heart by Kirk at the end. I always considered most of the Old Series episodes as hokey; but that one stood out from the rest and showed what the series could have been ... as does yours.

I can´t understand why this series are not filmed in at least 1080p. 720p is blurry.

@@DihelsonMendonca It was uploaded 9 years ago. 720p was maximum of youtube that time.

Yes, even though Spock and McCoy were a little different, they did well overall. Congrats to everyone involved.

Excellent 👍👍

all the above.kudos all around.a real treat.

@@busterbiloxi3833 Look

@@busterbiloxi3833 in 9

I had tears and I am still wiping them away as I just viewed the episode. this is what Star Trek is all about, they really caught the vision that it was supposed to have. not all the flash in the pan but a real homage to the original. I wish George would stop being mad at William Shatner. It wasn't his fault and if the roles were reversed I don't think he would have acted any different. It wasn't his fault that George didn't get more airtime. that was the decision of the people in charge. I hazard a guess that Shatner would not have been so petty if the roles were reversed to be honest. George did a great job here but he needs to let it go once and for all.

i did cry, male 61ex special forces

@@lorcis1 I'm 59. Just a great production. I wish they would catch the vision again.

I've been to places and known people who have lost children from many causes.I think the last scene brought some sense of closure for the Sulu Character. Given his exprience in the alternate Universe, "Grandpa" is going to SPOIL that baby!

@@kusnezoff8705 I WANT AXANAR!

I agree, just beautiful! I cried through this episode. I was flabbergasted.

@@lindawilkerson5900 I would have to say everyone did.

That isn't Vic. He played Kirk in Star Trek Continues.

The actor who plays Kirk in this series is James Cawley.

@@skyhorseprice6591 There's a legend floating around out there that says that Elvis Presley was considered for the role of Captain Kirk. It is, of course, not at all true, but...Mr. Cawley gives us a glimpse of what might have been if it were.

awesomeness....

Sulu was the most underused character on TOS, he never got a single good character episode! Finally. This is what both the actor and the fictional character deserved.

The only fitting thing i like about this epp is its connection between TOS and TMP eras involving Sulu as both Helmsman of the Enterprise and captain of the Excelsior.

The character of Sulu was to be featured in the Gamesters of Triskelion, but George Takei's role in The Green Beret Movie with John Wayne did not finish filming on time. It would have been Sulu, instead of Chekov opposite Jane Ross as Tamoon, which when I saw the original episode (as a pre-teen) I thought Jane Ross's portrayal of Tamoon was by a male actor in drag because of her deep voice. It would have been an inside joke if that was the case had George Takei co-starred in that episode.

You must have seen a different episode to the one I have just seen.

Perhaps because I was blown away with the intensity and just awesomeness of it!

Too bad the cast here isn't as diverse as the original series. The original series' bridge: Men, women, Asian, Vulcan, African Woman, European origin...and the rest of the cast...Kahn (South Asian), Kirk's tribunal: African American man, South Asian Man, A Woman, and on and on. The original series hosted hollywood's first inter-racial kiss! All in 1965 and the entire world was represented in the original Star Trek series, all races, living and working together. What a tremendous ground-breaking achievement for the original series!

@@lawrenceallen8096 They're fans of the show making something they're passionate about! Just give them a break for christ sake. So annoying.

@@jaymac7203 Ah, well, its just that I get annoyed when people who are standing on other's shoulders decided to piss on how those are standing on.

I would say even if so a close 2nd is The Visitor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

Are you kidding??? I mean any self respecting fan would have vomited 2 minutes into this abortion !

@@michaellepore105 Eh... Maybe it's just nostalgia getting to me.

​@@seoulmandan You were right the 1st time, Dan. Ignore Lepore's foolish criticism.

Great work. Screw 'em.

I don't know if you still read this stuff & the comment was 7 years ago, but don't let the trolls bring you down. You have something like a 95% Like thingy going on. I'm way old, and a fan of stuff like "The Prisoner" "Star Trek" "Outer Limits" "I Spy" "Hill Street Blues" (I just love Name Dropping) and you knocked it out of the park with this episode, ripping the hide off the ball in the process!

@@jacksonmiller8309 Those who have created NOTHING in their lives sneer at those who have made something. I thought it was an amazingly good episode. Way better than the latest official series.

Oh but to be a part of this... I thought I'd seen/owned all thing trek. Can't wait to see this asap Hell yes

@@jacksonmiller8309 Show us your trek or shut the fuck up!

Man, this line broke me and... That's the reason I'm a ST fan :)

Absolutely!!!!!.......

isn't she though?!

And yummilicious

I agree, been trying to get my Trek pals to watch it. They nailed it. It's real Trek all the way. And the Kirk guy James Crawley built a Star Trek original set in Ticonderoga NY. Incredible.

Yes!

@@johnnyclifford9423 you can go see it in person. And sit in the Captain's Chair

@@Lee-Darin I was actually up there not long ago. I play in a band and I had a gig across the street from the set in Ticonderoga. And the great part of it? I was standing right next to James Crawley at Stewart's right down the road. LOL. I turned to him and I said "hey, aren't you that Star Trek guy?"

@@johnnyclifford9423 I'd love to meet him one day. William Shatner has been there a few times.

+Dan Ibsen Exactly! i agree.

All of them were at the top of their game on this one, especially Alana. Easily on par with Takei. Super impressive for a fan show.

Well... he is an actor

Just because you like him doesn’t make him a good actor. He is one of the worst actors I’ve ever seen. He was cast on Star Trek tos solely because of his race and exotic look on screen. That is a fact.

@@misterkota1252 He's better than the rest of the actors in this episode. You got to admit he did well here.

@@misterkota1252 I feel sorry for you you have a bug about something but it was not needed here.. I have had the honor to meet MR Takei twice and both time he has been very welcoming and talked to the fans of StarTrek You forget what the whole idea behind Trek was and still is.. For me an actor is a person who makes me think about what I saw..

Have you seen _Star Trek Continues_ ?

Gather the roses of life today. Pierre de Ronsard’s famous poem comes to mind for me. We leave everything behind when we die but love and family are immortal. That’s the real thread of life in this two hour episode. It can only be compared to TNG’s “The Inner Light.” We are affected by the people closest to us and for me my remembrance of them is like yesterday.

@@NormanF62 There is some truth in what you have stated if you are familiar with notions such as samskara [memory reverberations] and Plato's doctrine of Recollection etc. That which is truly immortal within us is in fact the Inner Light [a.k.a the Pure Consciousness, Atman, Buddha Nature, Godhead, Sophia, al haqq, Near-Death Light etc.] which is the universal spirit within us containing the 'infinite wisdom' or information from all things and family, ancestors etc. are just the tip of the iceberg of what lies hidden within [Plato's aletheia or unforgetting]. Btw, I am the man who identified the physical correlate of the Inner Light as you can see if you search my name.
