TOS Trek fan Spockboy has made many funny and marvelously intricate TOS video in the past and here’s his latest Sepia Trek (Episode 1)  He and his crew do a fantastic job here and re-imagines the plot of   The Search for Spock as both in the original series and as a silent movie.  It’s brilliant, as usual, and also a touching tribute for Leonard Nimoy ❤  Note the tiny details, like how the Constellation ‘Crew’ had their  insignias  all  modified to match Commodore Decker’s. and fans of the first Science Fiction movie ever made,  Melies Trip to the Moon (1902)will appreciate a particular reference… The blending of old and new footage is seamless, and just wonderful.

The whole idea of remaking Trek episodes as sepia silents opens a a universe of funny possibilities — Thanks to Spockboy (Paul) for letting me know about this, and lets hope this is the first of many ‘silent’ episodes!
