A few years ago, a group of dedicated fans created "Star Trek Continues"....a fan series with amazingly good special effects, costumes and sets. This two-part episode is the last (so far) of these new shows.
"To Boldly Go: Part 1" is an episode based on the second "Star Trek" pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before". If you remember, in this early show, two members of the crew develop god-like powers after the Enterprise comes in contact with some strange anomaly. Now, it turns out that there are MORE Espers....more folks with glowy eyes and tremendous powers!
When the show begins, the Enterprise is sent to investigate a research facility. When they arrive, they meet a glowy-eyed Esper and she informs them that the rest of them had been kidnapped by Romulans...and the Enterprise soon goes into the Neutral Zone looking for these kidnapped folks. Once there, they are met by the same commander from "The Enterprise Incident". This commander is a dead ringer for the original (Joanna Linville). Together she and the Enterprise seek out the answers to what happened with these 'gods'.
Many of the episodes of "Star Trek Continues" are based on or pay homage to the original shows....and in this case two are referenced. Fans will no doubt love this...and it certainly helps if you've seen these original episodes. Regardless, it is a very interesting episode....well worth seeing and quite clever.
