This is proof that you don't need to "blacken" Trek or make it "edgier" in order to make it better or at least more competitive. Good story telling is just that and doesn't need an R rating ie Picard.

[@fredamber8238]

I just heard about this fan film today. I thought Star Trek was dead since Nemesis. Because what is officially shown today as Star Trek via streaming platforms, such as Discovery or Picard and others, is called Star Trek, but it is not. Today was the first time I watched REAL Star Trek again. I thank you for that. You are great filmmakers.

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Amazing Fred, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@EROCK611]

I actually like those shows. And TNG is Star Trek to me. TOS existed to inspire, but TNG got it right all around. TOS did the best they could with what they had and we hadn't even been to space yet, but the actors, stories and most importantly, the ideas were solid & inspiring. But TNG got it right in every way. But I gotta be honest, Discovery might be my #2. Followed by SNW. That is me however, either way, we agree that this production was amazing & we love it.

You know, I wish TNG could have happened perhaps a decade later. Perhaps then they would have allowed the known to be designed Data to seriously explore the design of humans.

[@williammaddock9179]

@21stcenturyenigma Nonsense. Both are a pursuit of knowledge. One acknowledges faith, while the other, while depending absolutely on faith, is too arrogant to admit to it. It REQUIRES faith (that ANYTHING is knowable) to do ANY science at all. Religion is far more humble, admitting to faith right out on the surface.

[@lanatrzczka]

I am SO impressed! I've never seen such a fan production that so carefully recreated the NextGen format. The edits, the types of characters, the musical climax to end each scene... all so well thought out. Even the lighting is exactly correct. And these fans... are they professional actors? Just wow!

Excellent work, Gary and all people involved! This is absolutely true to the TNG canon, it is amazing. A heart-felt story again ("Chance encounter" already touched my heart) which perfectly captures the spirit of TNG, good acting by all actors, beautiful sets/props/costumes that fit seamlessly into the TNG-era, music fitting nicely, BEAUTIFUL CGI. A thousand thanks to all the cast and crew for this fan film and for keeping Star Trek alive the way we remember and love it (in it's TNG incarnation). I hope we will see more Star Trek fan films from you in the future. Keep on trekking.

So worth waiting for! Efficient storytelling and plotting, decent actors, new TNG sets that fit perfectly into the canon (even Auxiliary Control!) and so much more. The discussion of faith is something S2 DSC hinted at but never truly explored, but you really do it justice. The Bridge looks great! I know exactly how much you built, but the matting is seamless. The scifi elements are an essential component and well done, but where the writing really excels is in the characters (just as with your previous productions). And the ending really surprised me. All in all this is a classic Trek tale, I cannot congratulate everyone involved enough.

[@robertthomas6363]

Dave's a good guy. "Me too" on how I arrived here to see this pair of gems. ... If Jennis (sp?) wills it, perhaps some day soon the darkness over the Trek universe (CBS's absurdly restrictive and authoritarian Fan Film rules) will be lifted. How out of touch with Trek values those are. Nobody is surprised that a soulless corporation doesn't get it, I suppose, but maybe "the last scroll" will make its way across their desk and somebody with decision-making power over there will decide it's time their company stopped being the bad guy.

[@KSloyan]

Must watch that.

Thanks for your kind comments!

[@LGranthamsHeir]

This is an excellent fan production. Its cored on a TNG-style plotline involving conflict resolution via diplomatic means, time travel, and seeking to understand alien's culture and belief system, just like Gene Roddenberry has wanted it. It doesn't involved action-packed, dark, and gritty plotlines like JJ-Trek and Discovery, yet at the same time takes the idea of religion as a positive inspiration for scientific discovery and as a means to understand the universe seriously, unlike 'The Orville' which simply dismisses religion as a source of war, prejudice, and other things evil, which is often true, but throws out its the positive aspects out of the window. I really like the cast members who are playing Starfleet officers. The actresses who played the captain and the XO did a good job playing TNG-era Starfleet officers, those who can be diplomats who negotiate with other aliens, anthropologists who try to understand their cultures, and detective/investigators who investigated a space incident/phenomena and tried to find resolutions to them. Hopefully there will be more episodes featuring the adventures of USS Vigilance and her crew. If the quality of plot and the writing is as this good, it has a lot of potential as an alternative series beyond the Trek canon. Two thumbs up!!

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment so positively. Cheers

well what can i say i like this its a origanal startrek tng story which i very much enjoyed watching keep up the awesome work i think this would be awesome if you guys did a series of episodes fting captain keller and the crew of the Vigilants with "The Holy Core" being the pilot episode :D

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Oh that would be great! Just need the budget and we're away!! Thanks for watching :-)

[@xMRxZEROx]

This is awesome. I'm only 5 minutes in and I'm already impressed and just as engrossed as though this were a new series on TV. Very well done. Want to see more.

[@FPSD]

Thanks Tyler! :-)

[@xMRxZEROx]

@@FPSD You're quite welcome! I would LOVE to do a Star Trek fan film. I thoroughly enjoy playing Star Trek Online because it allows me to live in that world. But to play a character in real life in a film? I'd be ecstatic.

[@FPSD]

@@xMRxZEROx Ha, I know what you mean! I should have a few "making of" videos on their way soon, so if you think you'd like them too, do the old subscribe and Bell icon thing :-)

[@xMRxZEROx]

@@FPSD most definitely!

[@FPSD]

@@xMRxZEROx nice one :-)

This is comparable to Hollywood grade and quality. This is by far, one of the VERY FEW top shelf fan made out there on KZbin. I hope others will see this, and follow suit. This group of film makers is gold. 100% perfect people.

Thanks Joe - appreciate the excellent comments. Thanks for watching :-)

I am a 50 yrs+ fan of Trek... Well done! I recognize a labor of Love when I see it. Thank you P.S.- an absolute shame this does not have 5 million views. One of THE very best fan films I have ever seen

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks for watching Alex - appreciate the very positive words.

​@@FPSD Update: Excellent work. You told a concise story about religious extremism effectively, without any significant deficiency. Thank you again for proving that entertaining and significant fan work can still be done within the new guidelines.

Good acting, authentic sets, crisp vfx shots, tight writing. This is amazing!

Thanks Mohamed!

[@iamralphoriginally]

This was extremely good. Shame you're limited by CBS cuz this is a quality production imho

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks for watching, Ralph! I understand the guidelines due to protection of the brand, plus it gives you some parameters to work within. So all good!

[@tortysoft]

Very fine production on all counts. So good to hear British accents and actor acting so very well.

[@FPSD]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂There's plenty of behind the scenes videos on the channel if you're interested in the production process.

[@briankesterson4365]

An excellent fan film! This is how it is supposed to be CBS!

70/30. But really enjoyed seeing a nebula class star ship.

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks for watching and the constructive comment

[@hoscat1395]

@@FixFilmsLtd you guys really got something going here. I do wanna see another.

[@kevincozens6837]

This was really well done. It was more interesting than most of the episodes I saw in the first two seasons of Star Trek Discovery before I stopped watching that series.

[@FPSD]

Nice one, thanks Kevin. Yeah, we tried hard to tell an interesting story despite our budget constraints! Our other TNG era fan film "Chance Encounter" is here if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKawd3eqpc90aa8

Thanks Kevin - really appreciate your positive feedback :-)

@@FPSDThanks for the link. As soon as I started watching it I realized I had seen it before. That was another well done story.

[@FPSD]

Ahh thanks Man! @@kevincozens6837

[@TwinsenR]

I'm a little late but, I just watched this 30 minute episode and holy crap I felt more in this condensed TNG-esque episode than anything on Discovery, let alone Picard. If you've never seen this, give it a watch. Totally worth it. I actually damn near shed a tear by the end because it actually felt like Star Trek.

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Ah! That is so kind - thanks 🙂

[@elminster8149]

Agreed, this is well written TNG era storytelling.

[@deltadeltan]

Wow Gary that was fantastic. Gratz to you and the whole team. This episode beats every single one of the STD episodes as you managed to create people and ideas to care about.

[@FPSD]

I'm glad you thought so, thank you :-)

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Cheers Phil!!

[@Earthlovergod]

Very good. It was like discovering a Trek episode that I somehow missed. A pleasant watch
