Ep. 4 BLOOD AND FIRE PART 1
What did I just watch? Umm, hmmm. So, the Enterprise is in the process of saving a research ship while simultaneously warding off the Klingon’s. That’s the main plot. The side plot involves tension between Kirk and his nephew Ensign Peter Kirk. Who is gay. OK, no big deal. Except for the fact that this episode is 20% gay softcore porn. Look, normally I wouldn’t really care but this was just too fucking odd. Oh and this episode also guest stars the guy that hosts the game show The Amazing Race???
Ep. 5 BLOOD AND FIRE PART 2
So basically this script had originally been written for TNG, but was eventually scrapped because it was too risqué. This episode features a solid guest performance from Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) but it’s really just so depressing at how horribly shes aged. Blood and Fire was just too much for me. I’m guessing the title Blood and Fire is a reference to anal.
Ep. 6 ENEMY STARFLEET
This one is alright. The Enterprise ends up in the middle of a war between planets. The ring leader is a 70 year old woman that is supposed to be sexy … I guess. Although, Barbara Luna again has a solid performance.
Ep. 7 THE CHILD
Originally a script for the real Phase II, then it was worked into a TNG episode. So…remember the TNG Episode THE CHILD? This one is pretty much the same thing. To be honest, I zoned out.
VIGNETTES
Center Seat: 6 minutes, 2006. – I enjoyed these little episodes. This one is basically just a conversation between Sulu and DeSalle. It’s a day after Sulu had received emergency Captain training.

No Win Scenario: 9 minutes, 2011 – This thing looked great. Kirk and Spock spy on a Klingon counsel as they plan an attack.
PHASE II WRAP UP
To be honest, I would have been glad to just watch the Takei and Koenig episodes. They are very good. As for the rest of them … fuck em. The acting mostly sucks, but the visuals and scripts are spectacular. It’s just so tough to get over the bad acting. All in all, this series did surpass my expectations … but am I glad that I watched it? Not really.

Oh man, I can't believe you watched this entire series. You're my fuckin' hero. Seriously. I didn't last five minutes.
I did try to watch that one with Sulu last night, but the page wasn't loading, so I gave up. Maybe I'll try later.
up next the movies??? good luck with "the motion picture" its about 4 hours of flying past bad special effects
I can't believe I watch all of these too. I wasted three days and over 70 hours of my life! If indeed I had a life to waste. So, yes up next is the movies. I'm going to attempt to take my time and watch them whenever.
Do you think they sought out actors like Denise Crosby and Walter Koenig, or did they just show up at an open casting call cause they needed the work?
"So who did you cast as Chekhov from the future? Well, I'm torn between my cousin Henry or Walter Koenig. Henry's a decent actor, but Koenig says he'll work for a couple beers and some pizza."
Oh these people totally need the money
