Hi folks,

Just made a fab discovery ......

3 New Star Trek Episodes ...... 1 pilot + 2 proper episodes

Kirk is back!!!! A must see for fans of the Star Trek Series

I think it is done by a mix of enthusiastic amateurs and professionals. It actually makes good viewing considering it is not a studio funded series.

Where ???? ....... at www.newvoyages.com
Go to episode downloads ... best to download the wmv file via bittorrent. 200Meg or so for episode 1 : In Harms Way.

You can also download the DVD files 2-3gig each and burn them.

Please let me know what you think.

    On no account watch "Come What May" (the pilot episode). The plot makes no sense and Captain Kirk thinks he's Fonzie from Happy Days. :rotfl:

    The first main episode, "In Harm's Way" is better.

    "To Serve All My Days" will be available on the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek; September 8, 2006.

    There is also another fan type project : startrekofgodsandmen apparently starring some of the original star trek casr like Chekov and Harry Kim etc.

    Ideally you need bittorrent (that what I used)

    Go to the episodes tab ... select mirror1 for the episode/trailer you want. Then select a wmv file you want then hit download torrent at the top of the screen. The DVD downloads are huge!!!

    Do I download & install bittorrent first then episode? If that's the case that's where I've been going wrong!
