I saw Vic's Star Trek production. I watched every episode and they're all available to this day to my knowledge on YouTube. The acting is, by and large, terrible. Vic was one of the best actors as Kirk. The end of the series is... shaky... It seems out of cannon to some extent, but I've read a lot of novels that might colour my perception. While lacking in an appropriate number of foam monster fights outside of my next complaint, it was true to Star Trek in spirit and by and large cannon and the writing was overall unimpeachable. He seriously needed better actors to keep it together but the special effects were top notch and in keeping with the style of the original show.
One thing that stood out to me was Vic's vehement embrace of the notion of the 'oppressed womens.' It was the second or third last episode that really brought it, distastefully, into view. It felt tawdry and like an attempt to excuse previous TOS episodes where it was stated 'women can't be starship captains.' Kirk was all about that rule in those episodes while this was a 'hearts and minds' changer for him. Seemed cheap. Seemed like the most out of place of all the episodes and the least needed... It also seemed like Vic was behind it all the way. What I'm saying is, Vic might be misguided but he isn't some ass slapping man pig womanizing his way through voice dub celebrity.
I also find it really distasteful when people ask things like: "How do you reconcile being a Christian with infidelity, Vic?" How do you justify waging a war against a legitimate dictatorial power while yourself utilizing dictatorial powers to become a republic America? Shit isn't perfect, and that's because the people that do shit aren't. That a man or woman finds an element or aspect of life challenging, particularly while ascribing to a set of ideals, is to be expected, as are the slips and falls along the way. If these people spent half as much time learning about Christ as they do bitching about Christians they'd get that idea. But better still, they'd stop boring me with damn stupid questions.
If you loved TOS you should give his stuff a chance. It's got soul. Star Trek soul, not the Christian kind.
