Lolani

"Lolani", like all of Star Trek Continues thus far, emulates the look and feel of the original series with loving and quite frankly amazing fidelity. Just as importantly, this episode also continues the original series' exploration of morality and succeeds brilliantly.

There is little specific I can say without spoiling the experience, and that would be a disservice. Suffice to say that the entire STC regular cast was superb again, and the guest stars fit their roles to them like gloves. Fiona Vroom tore at my heart, and Lou Ferrigno delivers as an urbanely savage villain--not an easy character to portray, but he made it look easy!

Emotions run high in this episode, and the issues raised remain in your mind after it's over. That's the hallmark of a great presentation in any medium. Just watch it; you'll be happy you did.

Oh my god! This episode made me cry. It's at the same level as "The City on The Edge of Forever." Lolani is unbelievable. There are real tears. And, Vic Mignogna, as James T. Kirk! He even has the same kind of body as William Shatner had in 1966. And, he is also a producer and one of the screenwriters.

Mignogna is also editing this! What is he?! A new Chaplin? I am really impressed about this.

As a classical pianist, the accuracy of the original music stuns me. Normally, that is not the case, but the makers of this series really seem to know the right tone and carcass.

I don't know too much about lighting, sets, and effects... but for me, they look exactly as in the original series.

There is so much to praise here. I don't want to sound like an ad too much; I just don't find any flaws.

Thank you! This made my day! Damn.

Despite some painfully awkward moments, the Star Trek Continues crew have pulled together an excellent modern look at womens' struggles. In doing so, it subverts many expectations - Star Trek lore expectations, TV trope deployment expectations, and more.

The worst offense this episode makes is the horrible, couldn't-care- less performance from Grant Imahara (Sulu) during the most dramatic scene. It's like he wasn't aware there was any dramatic tension or emotional weight to the scene. Or a camera rolling.

Bearing in mind that this is episode 2 of a fan production, and that TV sci-fi is typically an embarrassment to itself all the way into the fourth season, "Lolani" is near flawless, with emotionally effective cinematography, music, acting, and script.

People who think Star Trek shouldn't ever address politics or social issues, might never watch Star Trek Continues again after this episode. If you've been waiting for the next episode on par with TNG's "The Drumhead" -- this is it.

Well, I will say of all the fan based episodes, the STORY is right out of TOS. Very good, we have politics, slavery, morals. Just like a TOS episode. And it was nice to see Erin Gray on the view screen. And Lou Ferigno too.

For a fan based effort, this is EXCELLENT. Now I plan to watch more.

Again, the story alone really was good. The sets are good. If they had more budget, they could have had the Tellurite ship interior. And the acting is getting good, with hits from the TOS. for example, Spock, has a few clever and logical things to say.

A slave girl takes refuge on the Enterprise but her owner has other ideas for her.

Another well written episode that has plenty social commentary with a lot to say. Green Katie Perry-alike actress Fiona Vroom as the Orion slave is memorable. As if it couldn't get better with everything original Star Trek from sounds, costumes to sets and everything in between there is also Buck Rogers actress Erin Gray and TV Hulk's Lou Ferrigno to put the icing on the cake. Skilled Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn again capture the characters of Kirk and Spock wonderfully with performances in keeping with the sixties style, without becoming over the top caricatures or taking anything for Shatner and Nimoy.

Continues brilliantly oozes more vibes of the original series. With a solemn twist at the end excellent production and equal amounts of entertainment you can't go wrong.
