ST HF ? WTF?

Francis Ford Coppola predicted that the advent of camcorders will cause a blossoming of new talent in film making. Wrong. Instead, it's lowered the bar so that anyone with a camera, a premise, some software and a video-in port can produce a series.
Welcome to Star Trek The Hidden Frontier. An Internet only video series that doesn't pick up where the other series leave off: it kind of snugs in between the others like fanboy mortar. The acting and writing is of what could only be called, "Internet Quality." Nevertheless, the idea of delivering a series via the Internet is cool.
What's interesting is that it does things that regular trek would only graze (gay relationships, obscure alien races, guest stas from other incarnations, ships not named Enterprises, etc.) . It does lend REALLY heavily (e.g. use of the GalaxyQuest theme song) to get the job done.
