Episode 01  Ever the Twain (click on title to read Fred Dixon's review)

writer: Tim Vining

As the Aurora transports materials from one space station to another, Captain Kara relives the events which led up to her current position in life while learning to relate to her only crewmember, the Vulcan T'Ling.

Quality Rating: 100%
This animated production is replete with highly developed characters and situations. The story is engaging, and one is drawn into the life of Merchant Captain Kara Carpenter and her crew: Science Officer T'Ling. It's impossible to convey the depth of the animation except to say that it must be seen to be believed, and the emotionally compelling story evokes more sympathy and empathy that any other fan film ever has. Highly commendable; view it as a whole. One hopes that Tim will revisit these characters in the future.
