i kind of consider myself a the # 1 fan of hidden frontier and see a i be among a somewhat small group of fan who have actually meet most of these guy well and not count convention and of course . i have be watch hide frontier since 2001 and and i must say i continue to be impress by what these guy have come up with . hide frontier be the brainchild of rob cave and his self make studio and areakt picture and which operate out of the back room of his house . while not as fancy a and say and the tos base series new voyage ( which sometimes get some of the actor or writer from the original series and like walter koenig and aka mr. chekov ) and rob and the cast and crew of hf manage to create a series worthy of replace that ghastly experiment we call enterprise . the most controversial and successful story arc have be the introduction of star trek first openly gay character and corey aster ( who be introduce in the second season ) and and his search to find a soul mate . somewhere later in the series and he meet jorian zen and the excelsior trill helm officer . in the recent story line with these two character ( warn represent major spoiler . do not read if you have not watch the series up to this point . ) and zen be join to an exile symbiont and cause a great deal of change and some conflict in his relationship with aster . though the future be uncertain see a the most recent episode and beachhead and be just show to hf fan in the chat room last night i think that this relationship will endure and but only time will tell . gene roddenberry create star trek with the intention that the story be more about his character rather than flashy space battle . rob cave create hidden frontier for that same reason and this be what have make this series as popular a it be . a the previous comment state and i wish i could give it a rating high than 10 and but it will have to suffice . although next season will be the last keep in the tradition of seven season show start by star trek represent the next generation i be willing to bet that we will hear much about hidden frontier after that final episode .
