Over the last year my family and I have become enamored of Star Trek Continues [startrekcontinues.com], a beautiful Star Trek fan production headed by Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn which is successfully creating new episodes of Star Trek to follow on to the original series. With financial help from fans through two previous kickstarter campaigns, STC has created six new episodes of the show and the most complete and fantastically accurate original series Enterprise set ever, including a recently completed accurate reproduction of Engineering. Episode 6 premiers soon and STC is again seeking fan funding [indiegogo.com] to continue the mission: episode 7 will be going into post production soon and with funds from this new campaign will be completed later this year. STC also hopes to raise enough money for three new episodes.

If you haven't seen or heard of Star Trek Continues, check out the SoylentNews writeup from episode 5 [soylentnews.org] which includes several interesting facts and links. Be sure also to check out the set tour [wired.com].

The last STC fundraising campaign wildly exceeded expectations, yielding enough funding to produce three episodes and construct an engineering set and a planet site site. We kicked in a little bit and plan to for this campaign as well. If you contribute you usually get special access links to view each episode early before general release, and also sometimes other emailed perks.
