Introduction (Pilot):

This original pilot is not as technically proficient as their other episodes. It has a convoluted plot which, in many ways, doesn't quite work. Still, this episode would be the pride of many of the other fan film groups.

Rating: 2.5 or 3. This show introduces us to the new cast for TOS, but the story is convoluted, and not only because there are two sets of entirely unknown aliens who have undefined special powers but also because the main characters, particularly Kirk, act strangely. Kirk trusts an alien woman who has proven herself untrustworthy, and seems to know which of two aliens caused a problem without any evidence. The writer seems to want to grab the Q and the Borg and bring them, together, back into TOS. The sets are excellent, the acting is good, particularly considering how weak the script is. The editing is excellent, and the show holds our interest. The use of images from the TOS shows and movies recast with the new actors helps us in the transition, which, years later, was also made by Paramount.

Yeah I always thought "Come What May" had a fanboyish off the charts like script but it manages to reintroduce our favorite characters and give them something to think about by showing them bits of the future which will lead to greater development later on. I loved the side theme of amazing grace and how it was used.
