Submission + - Star Trek Continues is meeting their Kickstarter stretch goals (kickstarter.com) 2
jdavidb writes: A couple of months ago on Slashdot, I learned about Star Trek Continues, a faithful continuation of the Star Trek original series five year mission, lovingly recreated by Vic Mignogna and a dedicated cast and crew. The original Enterprise set from Desilu has been recreated, great scripts have been written, fantastic guest stars have been enlisted including stars from the original series and other Star Trek voyages, and the three episodes filmed so far look like they genuinely came right of the era that produced the original series. Continues has now turned my children on to original series Star Trek, and we eagerly await more episodes.
Continues has two more days to go with a Kickstarter campaign. They have already raised enough money to produce two more episodes and meet their first stretch goal: creating a set for Engineering. Now they are within sight of their next stretch goal: creating a planet set so the Continues Enterprise team can visit strange new worlds and experience the tragic loss of nameless redshirts.

TOS Uncanny Valley? (Score:2)
Being part of the TOS generation, and having gone to a few TrekCons back then, when I heard about this it was intriguing to see what they were doing. When I was in university, I was part of an engineering group at school which built a full-scale mockup (fiberglass over a wood frame, if I can remember correctly) of at least one or two segments of the circular bridge, the navigation/weapons console, and the captain's chair. We'd all wear the costumes and horse the set around to TrekCons.

If you really love TNG -- then start your own kickstarter. Please don't put down us that enjoy TOS -- when there is obviously enough to say that this is worth while.
