14: A Star Trek Obsession

Obsessed: Star Trek Continues and the Mirror
Universe.


Star Trek Continues recently released their third episode
"Fairest of Them All," which is a direct follow-up to the
Original Series episode "Mirror, Mirror." It tells the story of
what happened when the mirror landing party returned to the ISS
Enterprise. The attention to detail in set design, costumes,
lighting, and even framing of shots is so meticulous that it is
easy to forget that you're watching something shot in 2014, not
1967.


While the onscreen story is intriguing, what is equally
fascinating is everything that happened offscreen to make
"Fairest of Them All" possible. As fans watching from home, it
isn't easy to get a feel for what goes into making an episode
like this. But thanks to Condé Nast Entertainment and WIRED, now
you can.


Obsessed: Star Trek Continues is a five-part behind-the-scenes
look at our return to the Mirror Universe. In this episode of
Continuing Mission we're by Captain Kirk himself, Vic Mignogna,
along with director James Kerwin and, from Condé Nast, Michael
Prenez-Isbell for a first-hand account of the documentary
project, the creation of the Mirror Universe story, impressions
of the set, and why Star Trek is an obsession for the cast and
crew of STC.
