Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLou Ferrigno appears in green skin as an Orion reminding us of his earlier Hulk days. He has many more lines in this than he ever spoke throughout the entire Hulk series.
- GoofsThe costume used to simulate green skin for Lolani (Fiona Vroom) and Zaminhon (Lou Ferrigno) visibly wrinkles and lifts from their bodies as they move and flex. this is most noticeable on Zaminhon's arms and on Lolani's front of her shoulders.

Dr. Elise McKennah: We're each individuals with our own strengths and weaknesses, but we are not defined by our gender.
Featured review
Average acting, but stellar show
I feared the worst. Right off the bat, thin, weak voices from everyone, none of the dramatic lighting, who is on the screen seems to be a matter of afterthought, and the choreography of the bridge is plain undramatic.
But the stories and the presentation put you right back in TOS. These are stories about humanity, what TOS was about, not stories about whether Data gets a joke or if whoever is captain can save the universe... again.
Lolani was so well done it brought tears to my eyes, something TOS never did. The episode was well written, inspirational, and will always be relevant to real life, precisely the goal of real sci fi.
Everyone involved in this show should be proud of it... but maybe somebody can get some digital magic and add bass to all voices.
Oh, and one point about the 1960s, most actors had served in the military due to WW2. Doohan was at Normandy and lost a finger there. But the group of actors in 'Continues exhibits none of this ingrained military-purpose that was second nature back in the sixties. To see the actors standing there, a couple of them nervously swinging their shoulders, questionable postures, and a lot of other minor indicators, was an interesting insight into the differences in society between then and now. Interesting.
Good show.
