I loved Power Source. It had the look and feel of TAS and I liked the characters. Please make more episodes and develop the characters more.

Next time, how about less of a ship-based story and take advantage of the potential of animation.

As much as I wish these episodes wouldn’t take as long to make, Cawley and his team have done an amazing job with New Voyages. That beam-down shot from Kitumba looks awesome, and I’ve really been looking forward to the conclusion of Blood & Fire.

James C. I love what you are doing and can’t wait to see what you do with Buck Rogers. Gil Gerard was terrific in the role and am delighted he- and Erin- are on-board. Best of luck with all you do.

What amazes me is that most of these fan films are better made and more intelligent than a lot of the crap we’re getting out of Hollywood today! And they’re produced on shoe string budgets!
Perhaps JJ should take notes.

102…I guess this is what confused me.
#90… there were many changes, including adding the “Guardian of Forever”. Mostly, characters that Shirley wrote the story to feature and wanted to explore were completely cut out of the Bantam version. If you read the Bantam version and avoid “spoiling” it by reading the original on the simgen link posted above, you’ll recognize the plot but be delightfully surprised by the journey of how we get there and who it is that takes us along the way…

No. There was no talk of using the Guardian of Forever in our MS episode

Just read Mindshifter….While I found the story interesting, I don’t see that story as Canonish. My problems mostly stem from….
1. Showing Kirk so vunerable
2. Klingons learning about time travel ( I’ll have to assume that they got stranded in the past and the secret stayed there but Koloth is back in the present?)
3. And my biggest one.. Having Kirk off ship for 2 of his 5 year mission
That being said, there was talk about using the Guardian of Forever in the screenplay? The Guardian of Forever has been used once by P2 already and isn’t that enough. It sounds like a great story but is also a way of doing a low budget sci-fi ep. That was my BIG problem with ST4, Hollywood wanting to make sci-fi without using sci-fi. I vote Nope on a mindsifter episode. Of course not my decision anyway.

I had forgotten what a good story Mind Sifter was! Thanks for posting a link to it!

94. – If you look, you can find the companion story: Visit to a Weird Planet

Those stories would make a fun pair of Phase II Episodes!
