For people who really have nostalgia for Star Trek:TOS, there was a terrific fan video series called "Star Trek Continues" on YouTube.

It was extremely good--they captured the TOS style perfectly, from the actors to the set, to the music, to the lighting, even to the essential character of the scripts. It was as though the TOS understudies shot their own episodes every night after the primary crew went home. Great work.

But because of the CBS/Paramount crackdown on fan videos, "Star Trek Continues" was forced to shut down their production. This was, of course, supreme idiocy on the part of the studio executives, who don't understand how fan fiction works--it's not competition against them, it's marketing for them.

But the final two episodes of "Star Trek Continues" brings the five-year mission to its close, with the Enterprise being the last surviving Constitution-class starship, the only one to complete its tour. It reaches all the way back to the first Kirk episode, and then provides a transition of the characters from TOS to TMP, and even has references to Discovery and TNG.

It's the finale that TOS should have had, and it's done magnificently. Every fan of TOS should see it.
