Star Trek: Of Gods and Men

A well done mini series. Technically a fan made show, but it has a large cast of veteran actors. Including a great performances by Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols. Also appearing in this series is Alan Ruck (Cpt. Harriman), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Ensign Kim, Neelix, General Martok, Chase Masterson, the kid that played Jake Sisco and Gary Graham. Oh and also the dude that played Boomer on Battle Star Galactica.

The production quality is great, the special effects are just OK and the plot is pretty awesome. I'll try and not spoil it too much. Basically it takes place about 12 years after Undiscovered Country (and also the prologue in Generations). It starts with Capt.Uhura and Capt. Checkov attending a museum dedication to the Enterprise. Suddenly they are summoned to a distress call and end up on an alternate timeline. This is the result of an interaction between Charlie Evans and the Guardian of Forever. There is an epic space battle at the end as well as the ultimate showdown: Charlie Evans vs Gary Mitchell.

Well worth the watch. I have a new respect for Nichelle Nichols, she was very good in this series. I'd suggest everyone give it a go if your bored one day. It can be viewed on the Of Gods and Men website (although, I couldn't get Act Three to work so I had to Youtube it). Anyway, next up TNG!

Is this different than that other weird fan series you watched?

Mugato said...

This is much better, as the main characters are Uhura, Chekov and Cameron from Ferris Bueller. So it's legit actors.

It's weird what you actually consider legit "star trek". Why not also review the star trek Porno?

Mugato said...

This is certainly more legit than Phase II. It's beter than the show Enterprise! Anyway, I will review the Star Trek porno ... Mike Horner was a good Spock!! ...also the French Star Trek cartoon porno

That would just take this whole thing to an entire new disturbing level. Where no self respecting man has gone before!
