I watched 'Continues' back when it came out.  As I recall it was 
ultimately responsible for killing off all the Star Trek fan productions 
because they started raising money to make a Star Trek movie.  Paramount 
didn't mind the fan productions as long as they weren't trying to make 
money but raising a million or two for a movie was way too much so they 
had to let loose the lawyers of war and basically shut _everyone_ down.
