On a side note, it's amazing how much I like Koenig's Alfred Bester...but
HATED his reprise on ST:NV. "Wooden", anyone?? Thankfully Takei was better
in his visit...otherwise I wouldn't have held down my lunch (still have
memories of Koenig's performance :shudder:)

IMHO Starship Exeter's TSI is by far the best of all the fan productions out
to date. Depending upon how they finish it, of course...and if they ever
do! But I think it's close, one day, maybe. But it definitely has the best
ST TOS "feel", with some [decent] performances (at least, better than many
other fan productions!! (damning with faint praise? that's up to you)).

ST:HF was just so painful to watch sometimes, I...am glad it's over.
