The newest episode "World Enough and Time" guest-starring George Takei and Grace Lee Whitney is now available.

The next episode will be a two-parter with Denise Crosby (and a cameo from Phil "Amazing Race" Keoghan).

How long is it going to take for them to get the damn gay episode out?

Chew

I think that's the next one and, if so, they just finished filming in June. With editing and post-production....see you next summer.

Have you seen Star Trek: Hidden Frontier? I think both that and the upcoming sequel series, Star Trek: Odyssey might tide you over. There's, I think, 3-4 gay characters there. Two of which were regulars.

The first several seasons are mighty rough, but they do get better towards the end.

Tracer Bullet

Actually, yes, I have seen some of it, and it's generally pretty interesting stuff. It's sad that some of this fan video stuff is better than the last couple of Trek series.

Also, I don't mean to turn this into a "gay Trek" thread, but in looking for information on these series I was reminded that the stated reason for no gay characters on Star Trek was that they couldn't figure out a way to bring it up because homosexuality is not an issue in the Federation.

Nothing screams adventure like Wrath-era federation red uniforms! Especially when you can unbuckle the front and get it all sweaty and bloody!

Each episode improves in production and story quality, this one was no exception. Unfortunately, the acting and direction still seem pretty static (as in: needs work!). On the plus side, the guest actress was quite good. I would say this is easily the closest they've come to feeling like a true TOS episode.




Apparently, I hit the site just right to download the episode. Their server must of crashed, you can't even pull up the site right now. And my pic is gone in the first post!

Baron Of Hell

There were gay people on star trek and a gay kiss.

Tracer Bullet

That was not a gay kiss. It was two people that used to have a heterosexual relationship kissing.

And where were these gay people?

Chew

Well, Tracer, my guess was off by 6 months.

"Blood and Fire" Part 1 is available now.


Some comments/observations:

1) to the quickly added dediction to Majel
2) Hidden Frontier may have lower production values, but the acting sure is better (ie "less over-the-top") over there.
3) This episode is from a script David Gerrold pitched to Next Generation 20 years ago. He wrote the script and directed.
4) Amazing Act 3 cameo
5) I'm disappointed the guest star I was expecting doesn't appear until Part 2.

I saw this posted over at the afterelton.com blog. I'm going to check it out tonight when I get home.

Chew

I'll be interested to hear your take on it.

too bad the only version of the files I could find are mp4

peter needs a hair cut
they have a decent sulu actor, why not use him more

and new spock's chipmunk cheeks are annoying

ok I'm confused. Phlox kept regulan bloodworms in sickbay to treat people
but now they're so dangerous that starfleet as a standing procedure to destroy a ship with all hands to get rid of them?
