The acting, well I won't say much about the acting - though, I must say the jewel in the acting was Christina Moses. She really sold the role and showed a very impressive ability. Had I written the script, I think I might have been tempted to keep her character alive just to have the actress back in a reoccurring role. Production values were excellent and I look forward to the next installment – Thanks for the flashback Duane Donald I just viewed the first new Trek (“The World And Time Enough”) and I must say the writing was very much on par with the originals.

It is always easier to tear down than build up. Not one of you people that sit and watch this labor of love have given anything more than a little of your time to sit and watch this episode and then pontificate as if you are a professional and criticize about such profound issues as whether the piping is correct on a turtleneck. This was a professional production through and through in my opinion, and while there are always more improvements that can be made in acting, lighting or whatever, the storyline, and bits of life's truth and sacrifice that are to be found in this story make this some of the best treklore and storytelling I have seen to date. My thanks to all who put this and future episodes into existence. Thank you. It brings me back to the times I first saw many "new" trek episodes and fell in love with the original series and some of the following series. When a line like "Second star to the right and straight on till morning" moved me or seeing someone sacrifice themselves so that another may live. The epitome of nobility, and what I believe to be the heart of Trek. May this series, the fans who love it and those that support these efforts live long and prosper. Thank you.

I used to eat, sleep and breath the show (a true Trek Geek.) My biggest ambition of the time was to make my own Trek movies and I even built some cheesy props and sets and make some 8mm films. It was all fun but then I grew up. Today, I had my old dreams flash before me when I discovered the New Voyages and saw "World Enough and Time". Wow. It completely blew me away. This is exactly what I had always wanted to do, and it was done so well. I know the acting could be improved, and I'm sure it will over time. But the sets and props are just fantastic. I swear that these guys were standing on the original sets. Bravo and kudos. And the story was wonderful. It had me in tears a couple of times. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching every new episode. Cheers! I have been a Trek fan since I was a teen in the early 70’s. I used to eat, sleep and breath the show (a true Trek Geek.)

It gave us a chance to look up at the stars and say 'why not!'. The original three seasons fed a hunger that was created by the Cold War space race, beginning when parents took their kids outside at night to see the newly launched Echo satellite. The 'can-do, never-say-die' attitude that was personified in Bones, Scotty, Kirk, and Spock reminded us that our ability to reach out for the possibilities in life arose in a desire to be more, do more than those that came before us. New Voyages is a testament to that same attitude. You guys are to be congratulated for the loyalty to the vision and the fine effort expended. You've created a platform for...more! It's easy to criticize plot lines, costumes, acting quality and so on, but to pull it all together with such faithfulness is awesome! Guys,

Apart from that minor quibble, the show is superb and I've watched all the episodes. Although 'World Enough & Time' is very good, I personally enjoyed 'To Serve All My Days' more.

It's always good to see more of Star Trek and to have the original series expanded a bit. For anyone who criticizes the props, acting, etc. bear this in mind: these people are making these films at their own expense. The deal they have with Paramount specifies that no profits be made from these films. Contributions are welcome, of course. But, try to remember that this is a labor of love for these people and, while they do have access to Star Trek actors and scriptwriters on occasion, they don't have the kind of budget that could keep all the little details in-line with what the nitpickers want. While all the episodes are good, the latest one is the best. Though I will admit that there is a plot hole with Chekov. In "To Serve All My Days" Chekov is supposed to have died, yet he is alive in the fourth film. No word about how he was supposed to have "gotten better". I'd like to see that one issue answered.

It's 200Mbytes, comes as an mp4 (which confused my copy of quicktime, so I renamed it to an avi extension and Windows media played it). The download took maybe 30 minutes (maxed out my DSL). Frankly, the episode brought a "tear to me eye". I agree with many of the observations made (there may be weaknesses in some acting), but overall the episode delivers great impact. Sulu's daughter is a gem of an actress here. Mr. Takei was magnificent. The teasers don't do the episode justice. There appears to be 3 endings. No, I don't mean alternates, but there are 3 points at the tail where the episode could have concluded. Still, it works. I wouldn't want to miss any of them, especially the final scene. There's more here than just an episode. This team is demonstrating that a new means of preparing and delivering a series is emerging. It's more important than just a Star Trek episode, or a fan film. In the years ahead, we may see a series gather an audience before a network could 'take a chance' on something new.

JAMES CAWLEY... would you ever consider playing a new character if you ever did an Excelsior series? Like being Sulu's new First Officer? I really would love to see some "stand alone" Excelsior episodes, and seeing you and the NV Gang playing the new Excelsior crew would be super cool!
