Newsflash: `World Enough and Time’
George Takei, Mark Zicree
A perfect day at Worldcon finished with the screening of a new Star trek episode.
‘World enough and Time’ left not a dry eye in the house. (Google for more info please, I’m writing this in a hurry)
The actors took some getting used to, but this is a heartfelt episode and I think we’ve got next year’s Hugo winner on our hands. It received a standing ovation.
Select quotes. Mark: “I guess the moto was was: No Studio, No Problem!”
George: (after some mutual backslapping): “Well, the credit belongs to Gene Roddenderry. He was the great bird of the galaxy.”
They are on episode 3 now: a Kzinti episode!
This could be will be a new cult. What started as a fan film project is about to go mainstream—they are in talks with Paramount—but the webbies were at it first. The first online screening got “more viewers than the old Enterprise” (Mark again). Said George (with regard to internet productions): “We live in a science fiction world”
