Rewatching this fan produced series for the umpteenth time and just now realizing that Mary Linda Rapelye (the actress who played Irina Galliulin in ST-TOS Season 3 episode The Way to Eden way back in 1969, as the original Dimitri Chekov's love interest), now here as Ambassador Rayna Morgan 37 years later with no Russian accent, Mary Linda was not only one hell of an actress, she was smokin' hot then, and aged gracefully indeed! Rapelye ran her own business, White Cottage Bed & Breakfast, in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. In addition, she occasionally taught acting classes in the same town. She died on 5 April 2021 after a fight with cancer.
Cancer killed Dr Bones McCoy and countless other Star Trek actors. Cancer is a scourge that SHOULD have been eradicated but there is more money in R&D new electric car batteries. More money making weapons, nukes. And worst of all, WAY more money selling chemotherapy treatments than a 1 time cancer vaccine / cure.😢
I have cancer now. It's not a fight. That implies parity of forces. With cancer We always loose. Just a matter of when. If I sound morbid you try smiling without hair or fingernails
I had a friend who survived breast cancer when I was still married.But,when she didn’t write ✍️ me a letter for month’s,I became worried!😟 When she called,and said she was going through treatment for it,I knew it was serious.🧐 Since then,she’s gotten better,yeah,she’s had surgery,but,fortunately,it hasn’t returned.The part b breast cancer or whatever you call it,has no cure.It’s the one that Linda McCartney had gotten,and had died from.Her children 👧 had to take care of their dad,after that.😢
My God , just turned 60, how did I miss these. Feel like a kid again. Well done all, can’t wait to watch the rest. Captures the formula, sven change , acting , all of it that none of the reinventions of franchise did for me. Long live the original spirit.
I saw a really,old picture of Star Trek,and how they had done their letter writing campaign in which to save it.There were people who carried sign’s saying;Mr.Spock,and Save Star ⭐️ Trek.I was absolutely astonished to see this picture!Because,I’m too young to remember this,back in the 1960”s.My mom was right,after all!You can’t remember everything in your life!😊😮
Agreed and we can and should be true trekers by pointing out the smallest discrepancy. After all, this is classic Star Trek fandom. The 'Great Birsd Of The Galaxy', always wanted every detail double-checked.
I love this and ST Continues. I tried to watch STD but it made me physically sick. It was that bad. Corporate hacks who hate ST got to make "official" STD and Picard and they both stink. Tyrants and censors of the YT Don't like these comments. Tyrants seldom like it when their corporate crook buddies are criticized.
Absolutely! And Vic Minogna as Kirk was outstanding, as well as a better physical type to portray Kirk. It was really difficult to suspend my disbelief and see James Cawley as Captain Kirk.
This fan based pod cast series of TOS is truly FANTASTIC!!! From the acting to the Special effects TOP NOTCH and also truly TOS cannon !!! The fella who played "Young Chekov" looks and sounds like Walter koening when he was young and Walter Koening was truly a pleasure to see as the older Chekov... I must agree this was a very sentimental emotional very well done episode outstanding !!!
@derek larner I've watched both. They truly ARE the cream of the crop of Star Trek fan films. Check out the New Voyages episode "Kitumba". It features Vic Mignogna and Michele Specht, both from Star Trek Continues, as Klingon warlord Malkthon and his mate Kali, respectively. Very well done!
@@dereklarner6298 The guy who played Kirk in that one is a pretty good likeness of him. Although his voice is not as deep or virile, as Shatner's. Other than that, yeah Star Trek Continues is a pretty good remake of the TOS , for a Y2K tribute to it.
I don’t mind a;”a new Kirk,as long as he stick’s to the original!Two thumbs up from Iowa!Yeah,Riverside Iowa has the Enterprise,and some of the Star Trek video’s and costume’s!Also,some collection’s of Star Trek collection’s!

@@busterbiloxi3833 And how exactly do you know this? Have they alluded to your notion that they can't find any real work? Or did you just assume that they must be sitting around, because they managed to keep their personal business to themselves?
Chekov is immortal. He is the youngest and will never die. All of them will live Forever and never be Forgotten .Legends live Forever. AGAIN you All surprise All of us. Thank You All for YOU'RE Excellent Work And Please. Keep it Coming. We All Love You..
Well done! Second or third viewing.....kudos to Dorothy Fontana, cast and crew. You captured the feelings and reality of a terminal medical diagnosis together with the will and drive to help others and make a difference. Live long and prosper!
What a nice jolt of TOS this was! Not just because of the inclusion of “original Chekhov” but the entire story. Tie ins with previous stories, pacing, and of course sets and even tone. This was better than Sherman and Mr Peabody with a way back machine! Thank you!
A great stand-alone Star Trek story, even if it doesn't fit into continuity for obvious reasons. But that doesn't matter because it's still a great story, especially for working in Walter Koenig as well as Andy Bray as Chekov, and penned by the legendary Star Trek scribe D.C. Fontana. This is what REAL Star Trek is like.
Oh, I know the ending, alright. I think I had seen a cut of this episode before it had been added on. I had seen it since then, of course. But as I said, this was still a wonderful stand-alone story. It is everything that made Star Trek great in the first place and well worth the time to watch it through.
I agree. I saw D. C. Fontana's name on it and knew it would be well written. She's a genius author. And I, honestly, hope Andy Bray is making a fortune now as a writer since I don't see him acting. He did a great job here, becoming Checkov, and that must have been intimidating with Walter Koenig standing there.
An improvement over the previous episode in every aspect, just as I'd hoped. And the ending was one of the most moving -- a standout even by Star Trek standards. Yes, its 2021 -- and people are still discovering this show. Thanks!
@@startrekphase2DE I read that the actor/producer playing Kirk also has Buck Rogers and The Wild Wild West. Is there anything from those franchises coming soon?
You have to wonder if fans could make movies this good why do we need to waste cash on "the big budget" productions. There is real love and commitment to the characters and writers in this that is so missing in the "news ST". I met DC Fontana and several of the writer on a panel( I was credited with writing on ST.Voyager)
Fan made? Gene Roddenberry who did the original series did these as he wanted to improve upon a few things including the characters. The Voyage Continues series aired on NBC.
I love this episode....great seeing Walter Keonig again...great to see him with his younger self, battling with himself....LOL....keep up the good work all of you ....HIGH 5 to everyone who made this video possible....God bless all past, present, future and onward to "Boldly go where no one has gone before..."
Great Job! you stayed true to Roddenberry Original fan thank you at 70 it's very nice to see this continue. Great episode too. looking forward to more.
After you catch their episodes, there is another called Star Trek Continues. Same caliber. And there is Farragut, Antyllus, Hidden Frontier, and a slew of other fan films. If you can deal with the mediocre acting and ultra low budgets, it will take a month of total binging to watch them all, and I'm still finding more.
I have not taken these fan productions too seriously, I appreciate them, I really do, but the Chekov storyline is full of pathos and greatly acted by our hero. A good story... Thank you.
To see that Walter Koenig, the original Chekhov, was brought into the story, and for it to be such a well told and loving story, well done, well done. 3 episodes in and I've enjoyed all of them. Thank you New Voyages, I will spread the word. This series is excellent, you should be very proud. :)
Great job!!!! Terrific feel to the old series. Wonderful story, drew me in. Sad original ending, but a great way to an era. Sad, time has done what no loving enemy could to the pioneering group who started Star Trek, slowly it is closing the book. Amazing simply amazing sets! Please keep making these programs!!!!
CBS/Paramount made them stop. There were actually a lot of professionals in addition to Walter Koenig (Chekov), George Takei (Sulu--World Enough and Time episode in New Voyages) in it from the original show, including DC Fontana, who wrote this script. Many are still with us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_New_Voyages#Guest_actors
This was a good 👍 episode!A sad one,but one that has a lot of humanity it it!And,yes,it is classic Trek,indeed!Two thumb’s up!I like Captain 👩✈️ Kirk’s reference of;I can give you some good reference of property in Riverside,Iowa!This is such a great 👍 thing to say to a Klingon enemy!It’s sad,though,when his friend’s(Lady Rayna,and Captain Kirk,etc,]go into the quarter’s to say goodbye!
I like the slower pace this episode took than the last one. "In Harm's Way" never slowed down at all, while this episode took its time telling the story. Good change.
"would you have done anything else?" "if i knew the cost........i honestly dont know" now thats the old star trek i know and love. asking the tough questions.
Started playing STFC in September 2020. A week ago i Discovered this absolutely wonderful series on youtube. Unbelievable links between the two. Thanks very much to all who put their hearts in this series.
This is the true dream of gene roddenberry. people coming from all over the world for one one common cause: star trek. we've dropped our common diffrences to work together for star trek. Thank you Mr Cralins.
This is alway’s a sad episode for me,and yet,it does really make you feel how you want to;”hold onto to life’,when you’re even in the worst of situation’s.I guess,it doesn’t make any sense here?Maybe,what I should say,is:if you have to give up ⬆️ on life,then some time’s,it’s better to reflect on the good that you tried to do…..and achieve?We all try to do good in this old 🌎 world,before life’s ending.It’s written in every Star Trek episode imaginable!
44:09 to 47:37 The final battle between the USS Enterprise Constitution class heavy cruiser and Kargh's Klingon Bird of Prey "Dark Destroyer" versus the Klingon/Federation hybrid/imposter D-7 battlecruiser "Danger Stalker" is awesome!
These fan series are my new enteratinment.Good to see some of the originals and other past actors. I'm picking up on old references.It has the familiar feel of the Origina ST. I appreciate the effort and detail of all involved. It a lot of love and sacrifice to do these.
Excellent series thanks to all involved. I was a fan of the original series when it first came out and have been a fan all my life. Great job by everyone
Boy, I started watching this series and I have to say how much I am moved by their incredible effort...they brought back familiar faces in such a way it is incredible...Mr. Walter Koenig, you are and always will be Mr. Chekov, yes, sir...where can I send mi script???
"Must have been the vodka". All my Saturday mornings 30 years ago. Nice to see the 1701 in it's correct shape. Loving these shows. Thank you, lots of fun.
By the end I was crying buckets. When it turned out to be a dream… I felt kind of betrayed and slapped upside the head. Now I'm not sure how I feel. I mean, I liked it. But, I kept looking for the cure… The magic potion or help from aliens that would save chekov and make him young again.
Mary Linda Rapelye (who played the ambassador) sadly passed away in 2021. A stunningly attractive woman whose interactions with Walter Koenig in this episode were so well written and acted. At least her performance in this will live on. RIP
Al Dinelt... Something tells me you didn't recognize her from TOS. Her name is Mary Linda Rapelye. She played Chekov's longtime friend named "Irina" in the episode "The Way To Eden". She was part of a group of space hippies that came aboard the Enterprise, looking for a legendary planet called eden. She was sexy as hell in that episode and aged very well. It was cool to join them together again in this episode.
You don't remember her but she played in the original series, The Way to Eden. She was Chekov's old girlfriend with the hippies looking for the planet Eden. Note: May not be the original girlfriend but it sure looks like her., Mary Linda Rapelye
I was hoping that when chekov went to the bridge to battle, that his adrenaline would kick in n show signs of reversing on his aging. They mentioned something about adrenaline in the beginning when they first got radiation
That’s because,he got scared of seeing an old man who was 💀 dead,and then,he ran out of the building.Eveyone else got it,because,they stayed there too long,in the original serie’s.
Low budget or not, acting here and there or not, it was nice to see Walter Koenig finally get his chance to shine after all these decades. A real tour de force of acting, matched by Mary Linda Rapelye every step of the way. One this series's finest episodes.
This episode is better than the first episode "Come what may". Captain Kirk looked he moonlighted as an Elvis impersonator. His hairstyle in that episode looked more like Elvis than Captain Kirk.😂😂😂😂😂
Been watching/downloading ST:NV (aka "Phase II") for a few years now, and visited the "studio" in Ticonderoga with my family last summer (near my hometown! props!). A few sound quality issues on the earlier episodes, but kudos for all the hard work, quality scripts and acting all around. Boldly go!
I was surprised to hear the theme song from Star Trek, The Star Trek Enterprise Ship, The crew is all new in faces but the names of the crew are the same. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Scottie, Mr.Chevok, Uhuar, Bones Dr. McCoy. It's good see how things haven't Star Trek is still a Classic.
Amazingly powerful story. Also to have walter and mary linda rapelye in same episode. She was in tos 3rd season way to eden. The hippie episode, as pavels duty over love interest. So fitting the way she was worked in here. If this was tos episode, it would rank in top 5. Excellent work
The little details are so well done. The opening conversation that she feels "old fashioned" because she prefers to travel rather than a transporter beam... feels like authentic star trek character traits.

This is alway’s a sad episode for me,and yet,it does really make you feel how you want to;”hold onto to life’,when you’re even in the worst of situation’s.I guess,it doesn’t make any sense here?Maybe,what I should say,is:if you have to give up ⬆️ on life,then some time’s,it’s better to reflect on the good that you tried to do…..and achieve?We all try to do good in this old 🌎 world,before life’s ending.It’s written in every Star Trek episode imaginable!
Another great episode. Thanks
So glad they gave a caring send off to checkov for his role in the caring career in Star Trek...!💖for his fans...!
44:09 to 47:37 The final battle between the USS Enterprise Constitution class heavy cruiser and Kargh's Klingon Bird of Prey "Dark Destroyer" versus the Klingon/Federation hybrid/imposter D-7 battlecruiser "Danger Stalker" is awesome!
These fan series are my new enteratinment.Good to see some of the originals and other past actors. I'm picking up on old references.It has the familiar feel of the Origina ST. I appreciate the effort and detail of all involved. It a lot of love and sacrifice to do these.
excellent recreation of the TOS Enterprise and excellent creation of new ships and effects. good stories so far.
this is great I didn't know there was more of star trek to enjoy
Excellent series thanks to all involved. I was a fan of the original series when it first came out and have been a fan all my life. Great job by everyone
Thanks everyone for this most wonderful, heart-felt episode. I RoccoMend this channel.
Damn good to see Walter back as Chekov!
Boy, I started watching this series and I have to say how much I am moved by their incredible effort...they brought back familiar faces in such a way it is incredible...Mr. Walter Koenig, you are and always will be Mr. Chekov, yes, sir...where can I send mi script???
sad but wonderful episode, and glad to see the "Old" Checkov once again!
"Must have been the vodka". All my Saturday mornings 30 years ago.
Nice to see the 1701 in it's correct shape.
Loving these shows. Thank you, lots of fun.
this was great!! You built up a whole sad story and i love how he just woke up and said ''It must have been the Vodka.'' XD
I think you meant, "the wadka"?
Sorry. I know it was lame.
This was one moving episode, and I'm not easily moved by much, well anything, but this was close to a tear tearjerker. Really good!!
By the end I was crying buckets. When it turned out to be a dream… I felt kind of betrayed and slapped upside the head. Now I'm not sure how I feel. I mean, I liked it. But, I kept looking for the cure… The magic potion or help from aliens that would save chekov and make him young again.
Mary Linda Rapelye (who played the ambassador) sadly passed away in 2021.
A stunningly attractive woman whose interactions with Walter Koenig in this episode were so well written and acted. At least her performance in this will live on.
RIP
Oh No!! wasn't she in Way to Eden??
Mary Linda Rapelye is wearing salwar kameez (a north Indian outfit of long tunic with loose pants) in the scene she visits Chekov in his cabin.
Im amazed, so close to the original, it is about the Ship, crews do tranfer, so just a bit of realism, it is about the Ship.!!!😎❤🇺🇸
love the opening theme song. it's my favorite of the 4 iterations (with the 5 note crescendo at the end ), but was usually used at the end.
Damned! This was a really good story. Loved the banter between the two Chekov's. And yes, the Ambassador was hot.
Yeah she was hot, Chekov's grandfather had a good taste in women.
Al Dinelt... Something tells me you didn't recognize her from TOS. Her name is Mary Linda Rapelye. She played Chekov's longtime friend named "Irina" in the episode "The Way To Eden". She was part of a group of space hippies that came aboard the Enterprise, looking for a legendary planet called eden. She was sexy as hell in that episode and aged very well. It was cool to join them together again in this episode.
You don't remember her but she played in the original series, The Way to Eden. She was Chekov's old girlfriend with the hippies looking for the planet Eden. Note: May not be the original girlfriend but it sure looks like her., Mary Linda Rapelye
Wishspell.. I think I already said that, and yes it is the same girl.
doubt it most of the cast from the original are dead
I was totally thrilled to see Chekov
Love this…..love the story…..love the actors……I’m a loyal fan….I come back many times to watch this…….HIGH 5
It is a brilliant episode, Walter Koenig (the original) is just brilliant, thanks for sharing!!!
Really feels like the real 60s show! Awesome!
Ohura, shortest miniskirt and communications at same time. Wow !. Thanks. Dave
Really well done. Great actors, and set. Please keep them coming.
I was hoping that when chekov went to the bridge to battle, that his adrenaline would kick in n show signs of reversing on his aging. They mentioned something about adrenaline in the beginning when they first got radiation
In "The Deadly Years", the other members got the aging disease, not Chekov".
That’s because,he got scared of seeing an old man who was 💀 dead,and then,he ran out of the building.Eveyone else got it,because,they stayed there too long,in the original serie’s.
Low budget or not, acting here and there or not, it was nice to see Walter Koenig finally get his chance to shine after all these decades. A real tour de force of acting, matched by Mary Linda Rapelye every step of the way. One this series's finest episodes.
This episode is better than the first episode "Come what may". Captain Kirk looked he moonlighted as an Elvis impersonator. His hairstyle in that episode looked more like Elvis than Captain Kirk.😂😂😂😂😂
Been watching/downloading ST:NV (aka "Phase II") for a few years now, and visited the "studio" in Ticonderoga with my family last summer (near my hometown! props!). A few sound quality issues on the earlier episodes, but kudos for all the hard work, quality scripts and acting all around. Boldly go!
Awesome. The plots on these episodes is better than those on the original.
I was surprised to hear the theme song from Star Trek, The Star Trek Enterprise Ship, The crew is all new in faces but the names of the crew are the same. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Scottie, Mr.Chevok, Uhuar, Bones Dr. McCoy. It's good see how things haven't Star Trek is still a Classic.
Loved this!!! Well done!!!
wow great directing, writing and acting. thank you.
Oh that was just fantastic thank you
Wonderful and need more!
D.C. Fontana writes great Trek and these Actors bring out the best in a great story!
What a treat to have Chekhov and his errant girlfriend from the TOS era reunited - and my, she grew up but didn't grow too old!!
More misogyny. Will it ever stop?
Nice twist at the very end...well done!
Amazingly powerful story. Also to have walter and mary linda rapelye in same episode. She was in tos 3rd season way to eden. The hippie episode, as pavels duty over love interest. So fitting the way she was worked in here. If this was tos episode, it would rank in top 5. Excellent work
Complimenti una puntata veramente bella in tutto
The little details are so well done. The opening conversation that she feels "old fashioned" because she prefers to travel rather than a transporter beam... feels like authentic star trek character traits.
