Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

U.N. Owen This is a series made because of one reason: love.And it shows.From James Cawley through to the PA's and techs, everyone involved has put their heart sweat into creating this vision - the continuing voyages of the Enterprise.As a fan series, there's no profiting involved.Every episode involves raising the needed funds.I'm continually amazed every time see this series - the incredibly accurate details, from the bridge on down, the makers are Trek lovers.I see some people 'kvetch' - how certain aspects of the series 'don't measure up' to the original - be it in-front of the camera, or behind.To them, I've this to say: folks - it's fan-based. Anyone is more than welcome to contribute - their time and effort would be appreciated.I just saw Enemy: Starfleet! and loved how involved I got with this episode (see my review under it's title).I can see improvements made within the entire series arc.If you have gripes, then either don't watch, and/or make your own.But - if you are watching - then help - pitch in (I do).To the men & women of Star Trek Phase II: Thank you ALL!

enettrek I disagree with Ralph Pillosoph (JBearProd)'s review as he does not know anything about the shows origins. The show was jump started as a fan show but quickly grew into something much much more.. It continues the enduring legacy that Gene left us.Eugene Roddenberry Jr has been a part of the show since it's second episode as a consultant. The series since the 3rd episode (To Serve All My Days) has been written by star trek franchise writers that have been well known through out this and the star trek universe.The Original Series' own Dorothy C. Fontana as well as David Gerrold who wrote the most watched trouble with tribbles wrote episodes for the series. The last episodes were a two parter that deals with things of the hear and now... Not 40 years ago, or even 20 years ago. I'm not going to spoil the episode but the episode was originally written for TNG and Gene turned it down on numerous occasions because of what it dealt with. I'm not saying I personally agree with all the content of the newest episode but it was certainly well written and very heart wrenching.. Nice seeing Denise Crosby on screen again.Cawley Entertainment also co-produced Star Trek of God's and men which brought a lot of star trek alumni as well as some other sci-fi actors. These shows that have so many of the star trek alumni involvement aren't just fanfiction.. Just because paramount didn't make them does not mean it is not just as important as any star trek franchise series, It just means that it has way more heart behind making it then some greedy studio-head (no offense paramount).. It's our way of continuing the voice that rings in our hearts that Gene started almost 50 years ago. That one show can make a difference, change the world, and bring everyone together peacefully.

Darryl-Gonzalez I just saw my first episode, "In Harm's Way". It brilliantly tied together elements from several ST:TOS episodes (specifically, "The Doomsday Machine", "The City on the Edge of Forever", and "The Menagerie") into one fast-paced story. The writing was very well done, and the acting.....James Cawley apparently wears several hats well, being an executive producer and the person playing James T. Kirk. He has an extreme comfort level in the role. I almost wish he'd played Kirk in the 2009 movie (though Chris Pine did an excellent job there). In fact, all of the actors played their roles really well.Also for no money coming in, and a very tight budget, the special effects are superb (in fact, BETTER than in TOS).I only wish this were on TV. Watching over the Internet is fine but I'd like to be able to watch on my big-screen.....

mzkin1-1 I have watched the episodes that Crowley has put together. Keep in mind the majority of these are not professional actors, they have other jobs, but decided to pool resources and time to create this magnificent effort. Instead of studio red tape, we have a group of committed individuals who have taken a step to penetrate and enrich the ST universe. In many ways, their effort embodies what Roddenberry tried to infuse into the original series--that we can go where no one has gone before. Objectively, of course, the acting isn't perfect, not even the special effects, but it is still a joy to watch because it is a fine effort in storytelling that pulls these elements together in a cohesive and entertaining way. I enjoy the angles they've created that have built off lingering questions from the original ST episodes. Come on folks, why do you have people like George Takei (and others) coming on board to do an episode with them (and it was a great story to watch and hear)? They do it because they love the ST universe, and they can appreciate what STNV is adding to it. I applaud this effort.
