cmdr_zoomSo, the latest episode of Star Trek Continues, "Embracing the Winds", is up, just in time for the anniversary. And aside from it trying to explain the whole "lol, a woman as a starship captain?" thing - which is embarrassingly dated a mere 50 years later, to say nothing of hundreds - I was struck by the span of time represented by the guest stars in this one.
You have Erin Gray, best known for a show on the cusp on the 80s (Gil Gerard, Buck himself, showed up in a previous ep); Marina Sirtis, who needs no introduction, as the voice of the computer (taking over from her mother, as it were); Clare Kramer, Glory from Buffy, which straddled Y2K; and Beau Billingsly, the voice of Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop, contemporary with the last; all appearing in a YouTube series which seeks to continue/reproduce a show that was made and broadcast in the latter half of the 60s.
To quote a time traveller who once visited the distant future of last year, this is heavy.
