Part one of episode 2, "Integration", has been re-uploaded in a significantly improved form.

The commercials have been removed. But more importantly a scene has been expanded to its original intended length. I'm speaking of the scene between Shore and Locke towards the end of the first half. Both characters are more fleshed out now, and Shore shows himself to be more of an antagonist than in the original cut. This is important because part of the entire point of this series is what would happen if 23rd century met 24th century in the Star Trek universe. Naturally, some conflicts would arise. And this new expanded scene begins to show those conflicts.

Please download, listen, and enjoy.

I posted the first scene of "Integration" to YouTube. In this scene I play the Klingon, Lohgagh, and Bone plays General Kailagg.

*sigh*

Episode two is out! Sort of...
The episode has inexplicably been split into two parts, the second of which will be released next month. It's nice to have something to listen to, but it would have been nicer to have a completed episode.

The most frustrating part is that commercial breaks have been edited into the program. These are apparently commercials that ran during Next Generation's first season, and have been included for a "fun retro feeling". Fun for whom, I'm not exactly sure. The commercials are completely jarring and break up the flow of the episode.

I hesitate to recommend listening to the episode in this form, as an edited, non-commercial version is promised "later this year". Most likely after the second half of the episode is done.

If you want to listen to this version go right ahead. If not, I recommend listening to at least the first scene, if you want to hear me and Brian play Klingons.

Addendum:
I used Sound Studio to whip up a commercial free version of the episode. It sounds MUCH better this way. Feel free to stop by and listen to it sometime.

Today was supposed to be the day episode two of Continuing Mission was released. There have been some...hiccups. It wasn't a good sign that actors were recording pick-up lines as late as yesterday evening.
Fortunately, production seems to be chugging along smoothly otherwise. That's all I really know at the moment.

My friend and star/producer of Star Trek: TCM, Patrick McCray, has been interviewed by fansite, TrekWeb.

Check it out, and check out the new episode, "Integration", on May 4.

Something is astir at Star Trek: Continuing Mission:

Finally, a release date for episode two! May 4, woohoo!

In the meantime you can check out the latest podcast, featuring a Q&A with the producers and some of the cast, including my friend, Patrick McCray, who happens to be both. Hear them discuss why episode two is so long in coming. Tim Renshaw (Captain Edwards) talks about his pet project, the full sized shuttlecraft he's building in his garage. Also: circus freaks! Check it out.

The trailer for the second episode, "Integration", is now online. Hopefully the episode won't be far behind.

This past Sunday's News Sentinel ran a brief article about Star Trek: The Continuing Mission.

The second episode is, sadly, about two months behind schedule and I'm still not sure when it will be completed. It's an unfortunate delay, because it is a far superior episode than the first one. It raises the bar significantly for future episodes.

Also, I got to play a Klingon in one scene, which was a lot of fun.

I'll let you know when it's finally released.

Hey there, Trekkies, er...Trekkers? Trekketeers!

CNN.com has a nice article about original online entertainment that gives Star Trek: The Continuing Mission a good mention. Check it out.

Also, remember: Episode one comes out Christmas Day. That's, like, soon! It's the greatest Christmas present you'll receive this year, because it contains the smooth vocal stylings of yours truly.

Today I recorded my lines for episode one of Continuing Mission. My lines for episode one are pretty basic, not much emotional range required. So the recording went smoothly.
The interview I recorded shortly after may be a different story. I've never done a recorded interview, so I'm sure I'll come out sounding like a clueless douchebag. But that's fine as long as my acting for the show is solid.
Of course there's no way to tell that until the episode is completed, which is going to take another week or so, I'm told. But it won't be available for download until December, so you'll have to wait.

I'm not sure when the interview will be put on the site, but I'll keep you posted. We can grimace at my awkward responses together.

I recommend you take a gander at the project going on at this site.

Furthermore, I recommend you take a gander at the cast of said project.
