"In my weekend only world that they call make believe
are the dreamers and the planners just like me.
In the real-time life that they tell me is real
we will build a new world that we want to see."

| Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II is a ground breaking independent Web Series of new TOS episodes produced by James Cawley that are available to download for free. These tales continue the five year mission and faithfully incorporate Gene Roddenberry’s vision of TOS’s future. Chekov, played by Andy Bray and Jonathan Zungre, is a Lieutenant; our crew has expanded with new characters created by Roddenberry; and you’ll notice Phase II uniforms mixed in with the familiar ones Begun as a fan’s simple dream–to film the rest of the five year mission–Executive Producer James Cawley has guided a stunning recreation of the Classic series. This remarkable fan produced series is done entirely on a volunteer basis and has attracted a host of well-known professionals to contribute their work–and their money–for the love of Star Trek: TOS. Professional camera, lighting, CGI, editing, musicians and Star Trek alumni including actors, writers and directors have been inspired to join the New Voyages family, as well as Eugene Roddenberry Jr. as a consultant. Some of the original props and uniforms have been obtained, and the group has done a painfully accurate recreation of the Star Trek sets, so accurate the that original Trek actors have called them “indistinguishable from the originals.” It has been said a thousand times over, but it bears repeating. The Original series inspired us with a vision of a better future and the declaration that mankind will always have the strength to follow their dreams. The ship was ours and it was populated by real people who were family–our family. Fans have always been driven by an insatiable need for more episodes of the Original Series. They began with much used carbon paper and mimeograph machines, embraced the copy machine when it came, and now use professional printers and the internet to spread further tales of the adventures of Kirk, Spock and crew. It only stood to reason that fans would move into now producing their own episodes on HD digital when the technology became available, but it took James Cawley’s tireless and inspired leadership to do it right. |

Star Trek: Phase II is Trek the way it was meant to be. Watching the Star Trek films was visiting with old friends, Star Trek: Phase II is something entirely different. With scripts written by Star Trek alumni and brilliant special effects that would rival any feature film, Star Trek: Phase II has finally revived the original Star Trek series and restored it to what captured fans to begin with. Watching these episodes is a heart-stopping and surreal experience for any fan. They have gone back to the basics and treated fans to genuine new episodes in the original series that you can neither recite nor predict. These are Classic Star Trek episodes at their best: even better. The actors have come into their own, the directing is clean, the editing flawless, and the quality will stun you. Every episode only gets better. If canon is defined as footage produced by those who legally own Star Trek, than no, Star Trek: Phase II is not canon. It is, however, something far greater, something entirely beyond the grasp of those who regard this thing as a business. The studio never really understood us. In their futile attempts to acknowledge the fans they kept generating new incarnations of Star Trek for us. We accepted them with good humor but we really never embraced them. Fans have always wanted new episodes of the original series and James Cawley’s production has clearly declared that if the studio will not give them to us, we will make them ourselves. Star Trek: Phase II continues to gather an ever growing family of crew and fans that have one thing in common–Star Trek fans who believe in the message of the original show. While Star Trek: Phase II is not canon by definition, it has inspired canon, to be sure. No sane man can claim that Paramount’s attempt to ‘reboot’ Star Trek with the planned Star Trek XI movie is not a direct reaction to Star Trek: Phase II and the downloads that swell into the millions. James Cawley and his clan of friends have finally made Paramount take notice of what we all knew all along: it’s the original crew and their mission that we want. The only problem is that they still don’t understand. Star Trek: Phase II is a fanfilm only because people who love Star Trek are the ones who made the film. It proves the adage that we have always known: it’s the fans that are the ones who know what makes Star Trek work. No Star Trek: Phase II is not canon. Yet. The Chekov Site encourages you to join them for the ride there. Hold on tight: You won’t be disappointed. |
