Directed by: Dean Parisot
Overview
For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA Protector — Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, Lieutenant Tawny Madison, and Doctor Lazarus — set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space... until their series was cancelled!

With no script, no director, and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.
