Star Trek Continues Visits Parallel Universe With It's Third Episode
This one comes from a blog I used to have, but I thought it would be fun to share it here.
Star Trek Continues has aired the third episode of their series on the internet. This is the show that picks up the original Star Trek where it left off right after the show was canceled back in the 1960's. In the latest episode, they returned to what fans refer to as The Mirror Universe.
Through the years, other Star Trek series have visited this universe, which is a parallel dimension where there is no Federation. At the time of the original series, that universe was ruled by the Terran Empire, and they were ruthless.
A transporter malfunction on the episode Mirror, Mirror of the original series sent Captain Kirk onto the ship of the alternate Enterprise. In the end, he convinces the Commander Spock of that Enterprise to do the right thing and change the course of history.
We had to wait until Deep Space 9 to find out what really happened in the other universe. Things kind of went badly for the people of Earth after that, but we never found out exactly what Spock did until the latest episode of Star Trek Continues. Did the other Kirk get killed as has been speculated?
The episode "The Fairest Of Them All" of Star Trek Continues attempts to answer that question, and they do it in a way that leaves the door open for another episode, should they chose to go there. Maybe they'll return, but as long as we get more episodes of this awesome show, I'm not complaining.
I don't want to give away the plot, which takes place on the alternate Enterprise and stars Spock, played by Todd Haberkorn, and Kirk, played by Vic Mignogna. I'd also add that the cast turned in a solid performance. I would not want to be sent to see the other Doctor McCoy. What will Spock do and how will Kirk deal with it? Will it be mutiny?
Well, the beautiful part is that this show is airing for free on the Internet. As I've written in the past, the acting and the feel of this show is quite good. It could have definitely aired back in the 60's. I think Gene Roddenberry would approve of this as it is totally in the spirit of the Trek that he envisioned.
