Wow, the Kitumba episode was pretty impressive.
Good and bad.
Most of the actors overplayed. There were mannerisms and facial expressions better suited to live theatre. The small screen magnified every tic, side glance, grimace, sigh, you name it.
The dialogue could have used a rewrite, excising lines from many characters (uhh, donors?).
Most of the Klingons reminded me of the inferior (copycat) Kazon.
On the plus, the show nailed the spirit of the original series! What a lot of heart.
The special effects were terrific! Sets and costumes, can't be faulted.
The plot, a sharp Klingon tale, worked for me and was miles ahead of any offal penned by final cabal.

Glad you enjoyed it [MENTION=17386]Vultural[/MENTION].
The NewVoyages/Phase II guys have been doing this for about 10 years now. Each production more ambition than the last. Sure, it is easy to criticize (the acting is not always the best, scripts could be more polished, set sound recording is echoey, etc) but considering everyone does these productions completely FREE and out of pure love for Star Trek, I don't think there is anything to complain about.... I just sit back and enjoy the show and marvel at what they are able to achieve.
This particular episode is based on an unproduced script for the aborted 1970s Star Trek Phase II tv series. I think they did an incredible job rewriting it to include all the Klingon lore since established in the various sequel series. As I stated before, I think it may be the best and most important Klingon story produced.
If you have not ever watched their other episodes, you should check them out! Many have past TOS guest stars, including George Takei and Walter Koenig. My two personal favorites are IN HARMS WAY and WORLD ENOUGH AND TIME.

Still no official new release date, apparently they have to go back into the original files and color correct the entire episode from scratch. Not to mention they are relocating to a new improved studio and are in pre-production for their next episode.
So until it's eventual full release, here is an all new teaser....
