Bit of furor earlier in the month about a bogus edit that was put on the New Voyages entry in Wikipedia. This joins their recent listing on IMDB, the Internet Movie Database. Still waiting for photos to be

The problem apparently lies with special effects shots which were unusable and had to be done again from scratch. The good news is that Act two will probably be released on the same day.

ST: Excalibur (July 25th)ST:Ex are doing some serious fund raising with an auction on Ebay of a Walk-On role in one of their First Season Episodes.

Star Trek: Lexington (July 29) Sean Koury who plays Captain Freman "appears" briefly in the Scottish Star Trek: Intrepid fanfilm. He is a Commodore in the Intrepid episode and commands the Arizona C, which also gets a mention. How does he commute all the way from Ontario to Ohio and Scotland? Transporter?
