It's obviously a fan project, but it's not half bad!

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I've been aware of this for a while, but never sat down to watch it. I just watched it in full just now. I very much enjoyed it! Yes, there were some rough spots (like Spock's makeup), but it's a fan-made project. They'll never have the resources to do it like a full production studio. It was seriously very impressive! Having Takei and Berrett involved make it even better.
This is great, and I really appreciate you posting it to Lemmy so I could find it.
At first, the lighting of the opening scene was really off putting, and I was preparing to strap into a real cornball of a show, but it seems like they might have just shot that scene first, because the rest of the episode the lighting was much better. The graphics and set design leave much to be desired, but they don't take away from the overall presentation. The story is great, and the pacing of the episode was similarly fantastic. I'll admit I cried at the end, because the strength of George Takeis acting is superb, as well as a great job by the actress playing Alana. The "younger self" actors did a fine job, with my only caveat being the accent of Scotty, which seemed a bit forced at times.
Overall, fantastic! Based on this pilot episode alone, if I were the CBS head deciding fall programming, I'd put Captain Sulu smack dab in the center. Loved it, and shared it with my similarly Trek loving father.
