Who has heard of Star Trek phase 2?

It's a fan effort to create new star trek episodes in the style of the original series. They have 6 or 7 episodes so far, and they are surprisingly well done. Commendable special effects (better than the original series, some may find that not in keeping with the style, but I like it), a good set, ... passable acting (honestly, not their strongest suit, but it'll do), and new original scripts. I haven't seen enough of it yet to know if the writing is good, but it's good enough to have guest star cameos from George Takei, Walter Koenig, Denise Crosby, Majel Roddenberry, and assorted other Star Trek alumni.
I had never heard of this effort before 15 minutes ago or so, and I think I will have to watch a few of them. It looks like quite a respectable tribute effort.
