Star Trek: Phase II does the impossible. Created by super Star Trek Fan James Cawley, who initially raised fund for this project through Elvis impersonation gigs, this series answers the question “What if the original Star Trek hadn’t been cancelled, and had new episodes with writing that was at least as decent, and with better acting and effects?” Even better, they’ve managed to bring in some of the old Trek writers and actors.
In World Enough and Time, a transporter accident mishap causes them to beam back a Sulu that’s from thirty years in the future. And who better to play older Sulu than the original recipe, George Takei? This one’s got everything: two Hikaru Sulus, the Romulans, Kirk hitting on women, an even more “down home” Dr. McCoy, way better spaceflight scenery and of course, Spock making sense of it all. Be sure to check out the other episodes — they’re all quite enjoyable.

I dunno about better acting, but it's pretty well-done. :)
