Title: Trek Phase II - "Mind Sifter"
Post by: Rico on October 08, 2011, 01:16:56 PM
Some rough clips are now available for this upcoming production from the Phase II folks.  This is based on a short story by Welcommittee founder Shirley S. Maiewski about Kirk having his memory erased by the Klingons and sent back to 1950's Earth.  It's a great story and it looks like there are going to be some great moments in this one.

I love this webseries. A couple years back at DragonCon I went to an early screening of Blood and Fire with the cast and it was alot of fun. The effects in Enemy:Starfleet were pretty impressive as well, these guys set the bar for fan productions as far as I'm concerned,

I like the 2nd clip, but the first clip is not so hot.  The acting sucked.

Well, it looks like they changed McCoys. I liked the last guy that played him, the actor playing him in this is a little over the top.

Spock was way to emotional... silly.

Yeah, I'm just not that impressed with this series.  The acting has never felt right for what they are trying to do and changing actors left and right makes it difficult to get used to the new ones.  I know no one gets paid to do these, but consistency is important...

Yeah it would nice if they got settled on the actors but like you say it's all voluntary work.
(They not changed the terrible Scotty yet? Lol)
The special effects and stories are great though.

Guys, just to explain they have worked on this fan film series for many years now.  Actors come and go due to other commitments.  It's a voluntary thing.  In any case, be careful not to make too much of a judgment based on a few minute preview on Youtube.  Maybe wait for the complete episode.  I still feel strongly that this Trek fan film series is the best out there.

I almost wish they'd do this with another ship and not try and be the Enterprise crew.

I'm a fan of this production and I just wonder what they could do if they did TOS stories following the adventures of another Federation starship.

I'm referring to all their work up to now, the trailers haven't really changed this opinion, maybe except for Spock in a worse way.  Yes, they are volunteers but just something has never sat right with me about their work.  Maybe I'm being too harsh, but idk.
