Star: Jason Philip Thompson
What makes this so great, beyond being utterly accurate, is that it revels in its geekiness. Writer/director James Krieg knows his stuff and really nails the genre, not just Star Trek but the whole gamut, from the sweep to the nuance. He even persuaded Bill Mumy from Lost in Space to make a guest appearance as a bartender, doing a Star Wars homage in the process. The unknown cast live up to the concept too, especially Jason Philip Thompson who gets most of the screen time. He does a great Kirk accent and fills the great man's shoes in a homage to classic Star Trek fight scenes. He doesn't get the best line though, which goes to Drew: 'Don't make me pee. I'll electrocute myself.' How can you go wrong with a line like that?
