Related: I just spent 2 weeks doing a fanedit of STV. I will die on the hill that the plot is good if you can get around most of the silly humor of Shatner (which obviously I removed), as well as most of the weird shit between Scotty and Uhura.
At the core, it is a sweeping critique of religion and charlatanism. Larry Luckenbill as Sybok is one of the great performances in all of Trekdom.
*cough* magnet link?
I haven't figured out distribution yet but you can bet I'll be sharing with the community here (even if only for discussion).
Some of my favorite edits are actually in discussions between Kirk, Spock, and Bones. In one scene Bones has weird jokes that don't really fit the tone of Spock's exposition. It was a challenge to get around them, but I think I did it quite successfully, and it adds some needed gravitas to those portions.
Anyway, yes -- it'll be available somehow.
\°ahem*
That thing is in TOS? I really thought it was another Expanse meme.
it is.
I guess they meant STV is related because its plot involves religion.
The bottom frame of the meme is from STV, and the whole thing is based on STV's "what does god need with a starship?".
i should've realized that

Hell, I love it even with the silly humour.
Bones' bit with Sybok making him relive his pain is pretty beautiful.
