Thank you.

I agree there are still a few, shall we say, teething issues with regards to the acting styles. One thing I'm glad New Voyages/Phase II did was to NOT have the actors try and impersonate Shatner, Nimmoy, Takei, etc. So, for future Continues episodes, I'd much rather watch Vic playing Kirk (as he interprets the character), rather than him impersonating Shatner's portrayal of Kirk. The latter just invites too many comparisons to the original and adds an unnecessary disconnect between the performance and the story.
I don't see Vic as impersonating Shatner at all. I see him playing Kirk. A familiar character to us, which, (in my opionion only), he's doing a wonderful job at portraying.
^^^^ :thumbsup
Vic is the standout here and really carries the scenes that he's in. Continues, IMHO, is VASTLY superior to any other fan stuff out there. To the point that I find their cameos in this latest episode (which I did enjoy) detract from the end product instead of enhance it. I think that the production value and the acting (McCoy and Sulu I find weak. Spock, Uhura, and McKenna are... Okay. Scotty is pretty good. Kirk is great.) hold it up on it's own merit.
I couldn't stand the guy acting Kirk in Phase II. AT ALL. And that's a bad character to mis-cast.
