    Cinescape Reviews Shatner's 'Mind Meld' Positively

    Posted: 10:32:24 on December 03 2001
    By: Steve Krutzler
    Dept: General Star Trek

    Cinescape is the latest to review the William Shatner-produced MIND MELD: SECRETS BEHIND THE VOYAGE OF A LIFETIME video/DVD, rating it a "B":

    [...]

    "While the doc mostly avoids airing dirty laundry of the most overt sort, the stars do have some harsh words for what they see as the shameless commercialization and merchandising of the franchise - sentiments that seem slightly disingenuous given their own willingness to cash in on their own part of the STAR TREK phenomenon over the years. One weirdly fascinating moment comes when Shatner turns the conversation toward his feelings about being “affronted, assailed” by certain resentful second-string members of the original cast. With Nimoy trying his best to frame things in the most diplomatic light possible, Shatner proceeds to outline his theory that over the years original TREK’s supporting cast members “slowly, I think, began to consider themselves leads in the film.” Ouch!"

    [...]

    "MIND MELD’s status as an independent production, made outside the domain of the Paramount franchise overlords, is evident from the lack of clips and TREK music – a handful of still photos from the period are all the filmmakers have to place the stories in context. However, the lack of official material is more than balanced by the film’s disarmingly open, freewheeling tone. The production feels more like a friendly personal visit with these two legends than anything fans are likely to see anywhere else, and for that reason alone a space must be reserved for it on each diehard Trekkie’s video shelf."

    With the new STAR TREK near the half-way mark, how would you rate ENTERPRISE overall?
    9-10: Excellent! The series is superb in every respect!
    7-8: Great! The series is wonderful with only a few rough edges!
    5-6: Good. The potential is there but the series has yet to tap into it.
    3-4: Mediocre! So far the series is not much different than previous TREKs and the quality is questionable.
    1-2: Abhorrent! The series is rotten through and through from premise to execution!
    No vote: Choices unacceptable!
