[livejournal.com profile] x_erikah_x have you seen this?

Priceless! Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn in a swimming race - was there really any doubt as to who would win? Not for me.

I love the esthetics of this video, the serious training sequences in the beginning, the funny bits in between and the animé ([livejournal.com profile] analineblue would you happen to know which show exactly?) intercuts when the race finally starts. Simple perfection. And congratulations to the winner! Not bad for a man of 53, not bad at all (that's a Bra'tac quote)

Two days before the release of this video on New Year's Day we had gotten a teaser, which was them standing nose to nose (I wonder how many takes it took for them not to laugh there) and already back then I knew or at least hoped Vic would win. I mean, once you have seen Captain Kirk shirtless in the first episode? Those shoulders? No doubt. Still, quite impressive, especially since he is 20 years older than Todd! I'll make sure to congratulate him when I see him in May at Fedcon.

Yay! I'm so happy you like it! I have to thank Erikah for introducing me to it, and I happily pass it on. It was not easy in those weeks when I had nobody to talk about it but now I had invited some friends and we watched together. So, if you need someone, I am here! I have become a real fan and watched the episodes several times already. And I may talk about STC and also Vic a lot recently.

Where are you? Which episoides have you seen already? Which is your favorite? Isn't Vic a wonderful Kirk? Sometimes you really could think it's Shatner. And I also love especially Chuck Huber as Doctor McCoy. But actually I love them all. Can't wait for episode 6.

Ah dear, I am too slow for you!LOL
I have seen the first episode only BUT I tell you, it is love at the first sight! Simply perfect! And yes, there are moments I must admit that Vic has read his Shatner very well, even the tiniest gestures and mimic!
It was like returning to the old "golden years", the beginning of my fandom. They obviously bring back the best of ST TOS, I say even after the first episode. And the team work is great, I watched the Gag Reel, of course.:-)
I must thank you again!YAY!!!

Sorry ;) I can tell you this though: If you liked the first already, then it will get just better. Because the first is actually my least favorite. It isn't bad, it has nice little moments but I thought it was rather slow at times with all the speeches about worshipping and such. And Spock's hair looked odd... And, my biggest complaint, not "my" Dr. McCoy. But these were just first steps, and they all are learning.

And yes, aside from the episodes, I love the gag reels. You can see how close friends they all are. Vic knows a lot of people through his dubbing of animé.

And yes, there are moments I must admit that Vic has read his Shatner very well, even the tiniest gestures and mimic!

There is especially one scene in this episode, which always blows me away... I'll post a comparison pic! And I wish you fun when you continue with Continues, heh!
