Star Trek Phase II

I have been a big fan of James Cawley and his online Star Trek fan series Star Trek Phase II for a long time. It's an all volunteer, all fan produced & fan acted TV show that's available for free download online. In my opinion, it is by far the best most professionally produced Trek fan series out there! Not only have they worked with veteran Trek actors like George Takei, Walter Koening & Denise Crosby, but they have also collaborated with great Trek writers and directors like David Gerrold and D.C. Fontana. Their production values, sets, costumes & CGI are top notch! It's really unbelievably well done.

Phase II has also pushed boundaries that the Paramount produced shows never have. Their last episode "Blood and Fire" featured an openly gay couple-- that of Captain Kirk's nephew Peter Kirk and a new character, Freeman. It's a simple love story that's is an integral part of the plot but doesn't detract from it. I highly recommend watching "Blood and Fire" as well as the other Phase II episodes here. Did I mention that IFT is also the official fan club of Phase II?

Now another episode is almost ready for download!
Here is the official press release from the Crawley folks:
