Star Trek Prelude to Axanar

Hi Im Orion Acaba, a Voice Actor from Los Angeles. I had the honor to play the Narrator John Gil in this amazing work- Star Trek: Prelude to Axanar! Thanks to everyone of you who has enjoyed it and for your words of encouragement!
Cheers!

[@larryrhoades630]

Blown away. Somebody needs to turn this into a series now!

[@scottmantooth8785]

every time i watch this film, it gets better....

[@_The_Captain]

THIS is what star trek should have evolved into. If this could be made into a TV series, it would be the best star trek ever hands down. I loved all the actors, such a great job from everyone involved. This is true star trek as it should be. Absolutely amazing. I am blown away by this. Watching this made me feel like a kid again, bringing me back into the star trek universe and setting free my imagination of space, the final frontier!

[@scottross5495]

I think the federation wouldn't be this incompetent. They would put up a better fight with the Klingons.

[@FarSeeker8]

I think that the studio that produced this should give up on Star Trek based productions and create their own vision of the future. As FarScape, Firefly, Babalon 5 and "The Expanse" have shown, there are other venues to explore. The Ky Vatta/ "Trading in Danger" and "Honor Harrington" series might be available options. Or just do something like the Orville series, but make it more serious and scientifically accurate. There are other options than Star Trek.

[@antomarhal]

Brilliant!!! I agree. There is a major gap in the sci-fi space at the moment and I mean serious sci-fi shows. Just watching this clip gave me goose bumps not only because of the excellent acting and brilliant cinematography, but also because it held true to what the different races were and the fact that UFP/Star Fleet did not have a dedicated battle ship when this started - (***** - holding true to the fact that war was not the primary objective and that their hand was forced - ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?! It just doesn't get better than that). This narrative brings back the glory of innovative and genuine from the heart story telling that fires up the imagination. It sticks to the original precepts of what the UFP is and holds true to that theme and ties in with the time lines and I won't say anything about changing the features of races that we have come to know and accept (WTH!!!!) - which in turn has completely changed the dynamics of inter-species relationships. So if we can get the rest of this story (maybe change some things for copyright) and it plays in a cinema I will go and watch it. I am not rich in any form or fashion but I will share, share, share, share. Word of mouth is a powerful ally and that is the least I can do for this brilliant, ahead of it's time, piece of work - IMHO.

[@FarSeeker8]

"This narrative brings back the glory of innovative and genuine from the heart story telling that fires up the imagination." Hehehe: xkcd.com/1536/ Could we get someone to write a fictionalized future of Elon Musk's plan to colonize Mars? Something like a prequel of "The Expanse."

[@helixomnibus]

But nope, instead, we get gay couples kissing..., Because that's what STD (s. transmitted. D.) is all about now... 😕

[@HuibertAalbers]

It is not surprising that Paramount is scared. The whole industry should be! If this is what "amateurs" can do, what will happen to the pros? Wow! Excellent work, great story telling. I want to see more.

[@Baseshocks]

You are right, forget about star trek right now. If you get competent film makers with kick starter campaigns thrown in there can make some amazing low budget films. Also think about the Star Citizen video game, people are getting fucking sick of the suits. If the Axanar team created a stand alone science fiction film i bet they could get crowed funding... LOL make Axanar without the star trek name, just rename every species and make the ships close enough to just pass copy right laws.

[@randalcquebedeaux314]

This is AWESOME stuff!

[@bonespiel]

I can't agree 👍 more! I want to see this as a new series not a motion picture but a full run story line!

[@ToyKingWonder]

I totally agree with your idea. Move away from Star Trek but keep the basic underlying tenets....good action, stories, some themes that make you think, and things that make you want to watch. That's what I am doing with my little film, not based on anything, but doing what I want to do and would like to see.

[@davidkelly4210]

So The Orville? lol

[@dwood2001]

That was really freakin' cool. I didn't even know this existed, but I'll definitely be waiting excitedly for the full production.

[@TherealSBlair]

Still hurts me to my soul that Axanar got shot down. This IS Star Trek. The characters. The ships. The story. This could have been huge for all the right reasons instead of dividing and disappointing the Star Trek faithful as Abrams and STD have done. Still bitter that I'll likely never get to see it.

[@jenniferzoch3309]

Axanar is moving forward! I'm so excited! Now we get to see what happens!

[@davincirod8176]

This guy should jump on a franchise deal. Awesome storytelling!!!!! Thanks for the entertainment! 😎

[@Xerethane]

Best Fan film of any kind I've ever seen. Well done guys, really captured the spirit of war in the Star Trek Universe and I loved the documentary style used.

[@ethericlimerick2992]

Star Trek Continues and Prelude to Axanar have captured the Star Trek spirit and feeling in a most excellent way. The Big Hit Factory has not managed to do the same recently..... I think that the "armatures" have become the masters.....

[@fade9728]

Amazing!

[@ArmonMitchell]

Absolutely wonderful! This really sends me back but also brought up to date really nice story acting music sound image. I cared about each character --- no overwhelming CGI really really nice.

[@JB-yb4wn]

I am not a huge star trek fan, but this short movie kept me riveted. Excellent writing and an excellent narrative. If you don't get to make the movie, put this out as a series of mini-clips, work it like the soap opera guys do I will definitely watch it for the gripping story and good visuals.

[@Starlord-lz7ez]

The 0-gravity maneuvering was really good

[@patrickmckeown3683]

Awesome! Give me more.

[@walterstead2115]

This is dope..needs more views

[@jgtampabay]

Koriana 6 - love the B5 reference!

[@jasongooden917]

i would Buy this

[@Lee78072]

Ramirez reminds me to Captain Sisco

[@Hal09i]

It's criminal that this story is not going to be allowed to be told in full. Paramount and CBS should enter in to a join venture with this production team-- give them a budget and support and let them go to work. And everyone will make a pile a money and the fans will get a rousing, top quality adventure. Now what's wrong with that? Pull your head out CBS...

[@bobosims1848]

Magnificent! In my opinion, this honors Gene Roddenberry's legacy much better than the Abrams approach: rather than rewriting the original universe, this actually *adds* to it! And then the documentary style of telling about the conflict afterwards, instead of dramatizing the events as seen during the conflict itself... It does not really have a Trekky feel to it, but it makes it seem much more real. Seeing Soval back, remembering something that I think Shran could have said after his dealings with Archer. Pure gold! Because of Soval, it's clear to me that this *must* have taken place anywhere between the Archer and Picard eras. I have trouble deciding where to place it in relation to Kirk's time, though. Anyway, this is brilliant. I could live with more of this.

[@T3CH33]

The ship being built at Axanar is the Enterprise and Vulcans live a long time. So its probably 5 or so years before Pike took command of the ship as he wasn't the first captain.

[@icepicjoey]

I remember reading a novel about the first Constitution class ship going missing with kirks father on it. Not sure if it was canon. Or kirks father went missing on the USS Constitution my memory is fuzzy on the details.

[@Tenbears1812]

This would have occured prior to Kirk becoming captain of the Enterprise. In the original series, in an episode called 'Whom Gods Destroy', Kirk encountered Garth when he was an inmate at Elba II - a facility for the criminally insane.

[@baneblackguard584]

I can see why the lawsuit now. First rate. Absolutely top grade. Give me more. If they are too stupid to back this and make it official then to hell with them.

[@voyager202000]

Can someone tell me why wasn't this chosen to be the next Star Trek series? This was (no pun intended) light years better than Discovery! It was perfect canon and it was the perfect bridge between Enterprise and original series! You saw Captain Garth and his contribution to Starfleet history! But how come this was not the series! I would have signed up for CBS access in seconds, because it would have been worth it to see a series of the caliber!!!

[@ogdocvato]

R.I.P. Richard Hatch. I am glad that you were able to be part of this before you had to leave.

[@JasonAguirre]

Wish he could have gotten his version of BSG as well...Similar situation.

[@antomarhal]

Amen

[@TrumpCardMAGA]

Holy fuck! I first thought "what does he have to do with this" then as that sat in the back of my head I watched how that Klingon said his lines and it dawned on me.

[@jimloth6091]

Wow! Great story telling - I was drawn right in from very beginning. So glad you show us Garth before his descent into insanity. I definitely want more of this!

[@CthulhuChow]

when fan films rip out of the throat of the so-called "official" crap and piss on the corpse. this destroys anything that std will ever be able to produce. and the god-like narration is top notch.

[@OrionAcaba]

CthulhuChow THANK YOU!

[@cfbmoo1]

What Star Trek should be, not that STD stuff.

[@robertjakicic5878]

You know what I think, make the movie. The needs of the many out Way the needs of the few, or the one(cbs) so, the evil empire takes Axanar back to court. The movie gets made, and MILLIONS of Star Trek fans get there wish. After that let’s see we’re the chips fall.

[@jeffhogan3433]

Better ship design in this than that new show Discovery.

[@OrionAcaba]

Jeff Hogan well, to be fair...We did have most of our crew consist of TNG, DS9, and Voyager alumni, Sooo.....😎

[@cryofpaine]

Well no wonder the Federation did so poorly, they had two Klingon spies in high office. :P This looks amazing!

[@dboymax1]

+cryofpaine This is how a Star Trek movie should be made. A new way of storytelling without throwing away or forgetting the source material/lore. Hear that Jar Jar Abrams... But I hope they make a sequel or different movie with this production quality but to go back told style Roddenberry Trek: To explore and boldly go where no man has gone before...

[@ericjustasinner5695]

just what I was thinking :)

[@ericjustasinner5695]

just what I was thinking :)

[@nicoferguson1215]

update! CBS studios has dropped the lawsuit against axanar

[@hellrazoromega]

Source?

[@nicoferguson1215]

Trekyard KZbin channel and an axanar update from CBS on Facebook about a month and a half ago

[@hellrazoromega]

And yet when I checked the Axanar homepage today it has a post from this week about the ongoing lawsuit.

[@nicoferguson1215]

Hmm , it may be that I am misinformed, sorry

[@richardhrpenn194]

At one point they did say it was dropped. I am not sure if it restarted or if it was a feint.

[@tsmgguy]

So much more true to the original Star Trek vision than anything Paramount ever released, and superbly acted.

[@MegaAce54]

If CBS / Paramount or smart they would pick this up and make billions instead of suing creators they should collaborate and give the fans what they want real Star Trek even Star Trek Continues is better than JJ Abrams reboots

[@benperry2798]

To bad Paramount isn't willing to buy out this production. After seeing it's latest try (Discovery) I fear there going to kill off a very loyal fan base.

[@JasonAguirre]

Aside from the retarded looking klingons and strange spore drive, it very well could have been this. The right era...

[@bubbahead1234]

100% agree Ben! This would have been a wonderful series to proceed Enterprise and 1000% better than that politically correct POS that dares to call itself Star Trek.

[@OriginalMergatroid]

This would have been post Enterprise, and pre TOS.

[@AshtonCoolman]

I feel Gene Roddenberry's vision is better served by Axanar than the Abrams reboot. Starfleet officers are truly like Ramirez and Garth. They'll fight a vicious war without ever losing sight of the purpose and promise of the Federation. These actors and film makers have this vision. As far as I'm concerned this is the real Star Trek.

[@randalcquebedeaux314]

Amen! you said so well and right on point! The JJ Trek movies are NOT Star Trek! Good movies just not Star Trek.

[@Pincuishin]

forget abrams the new movies are great because of the actors and their dedication abrams is a bit of a joke but the new movies are great. Course STD is absolute trash now.

[@garyclouse7234]

The evil predators who run Hollywood were, in my mind unwilling to continue the Star Trek legacy of promoting honor, respect and love of country (or planet)! They want chaos! They want sexual depravity and the certainly DON'T WANT young people admiring older people who can actually show them the way to be free! Oh no! That has to go at any price! Weill I say NOW IS THE TIME FOR THEM TO PAY THE PRICE! Let their studios collapse! Let them loose Billions on failed movies! Let their elite like H. Weinstein be exposed for the depraved lunetics they are! And let the Star Trek Franchise wither and die unless they realize that Star Trek is OURS! They spit in Roddenberry's face with their sick, stupidity! Wonderful to watch them collapse!

[@garyclouse7234]

Of course you are right! Now let's get real! Those who rejected this wonderful portrait of Roddenberry's vision NEVER wanted young people to realize what greatness means! They want compliant slaves! They have failed big time! Now here on Earth my friend, is OUR AXINAR! There are no Klingons but there are Globalists! They DO NOT have the defence of the Earth in mind! They will soon try to fabricate an enemy from another world to trick us! It is all smoke and mirrors to allow these globalist psychopaths are trying every trick they have to enslave mankind! They HATE men and women of honor! They hate freedom for the people! They were too late! AXINAR has come down to Earth! The producer of this short had no idea how far reaching his brilliant work would be! Now let's kick some liberal Klingon ass!

[@claudedavy122]

Although I came into this late, while youtube surfing I came upon this? and thought! WOW if only they had the support and backing of a studio! this is indeed the vision Gene would embrace! The actors here were awesome, well chosen and knew how to make a script come to life! I am thankful for any attempt or reboot of the star trek legacy, but at times when I see developments like this! I think damn! who in Hollywood are not paying the fuck attention! Axanar! thought and concept is absolutely brilliant!

[@The_Maori_Taro_Planter]

If I had to choose between Spores and SJW Trek vs Axenar a.k.a Real Star Trek, I'll take Axenar anyday. This "preview" is better than the entire Discovery series.

[@ilianpanaiotov7378]

I m not big fan of prequels, but this is 1x10*9 better than Discovery. Shame for CBS! Shame for Paramount! Shame for the franchise!!!

[@yawningkitty457]

Just watched this epic mini movie for the first time after a friend told me about it. Wow wow wow!!!!!!! this is the best Star Trek movie to date and it was done by amatures for no profit,that's just bloody awsome. I think what CBS have done with thier law suit is just petty jealousy and just goes to show how small minded corporations like them really are. CBS stop crying because a bunch of dedicated amatures did a better job than you have and get on board and make this movie official,this is what a Star Trek movie should be like.

[@timweatherill3738]

I guess we all agree that is a complete and utter outrage that the corporate suits won't allow this thing to come to fruition. DAMN, IT JIM!! Why, oh why can't they come to a profit~sharing agreement, in essence, a licensing agreement? I'll argue this: Fans will go see Axanar in droves - huge numbers - and they'll, perhaps with less enthusiasm, ALSO get a fix of Trek by seeing the next reboot film: nobody needs to lose. Let's be honest, with ourselves: if it is Star Trek, we want to see it. We may grumble, but to be back in the Federation, back in that wonderful dream that is ultimately optimistic ~ yes, we'll go. These nincompoops 'upstairs' still don't realise how fertile the soil they till really is. It can grow more than one crop.

[@Electricshrock]

I love your critique even though I disagree. I think a movie like this would siphon off the audience for another reboot film. Rightly so.

[@Promance2300]

Damn, I wish this was the Star Trek we got

[@GlanderBrondurg]

This is what Discovery should have been instead of what we got.

[@henry222ist]

Wow i know right!

[@hoppermantis7615]

This was a fair representation of star trek spirit. The federation has grit when the polish wears off during devastation... Not a SJW beta shininess.

[@coecludd]

I watched this before "Discovery" and loved it. I watched "Discovery" - whole season, even the "re-imagined" Enterprise scene and absolutely loathed it. I felt worried that maybe I'd just moved on from Star Trek. I decided to watch Axanar again and loved it more the second time. I came to realise that I'm still a Trek fan but "Discovery" is a steaming pile of shit. Awful characters, no continuity and just a quick cash grab by CBS with no understanding of what Trek really is. R.I.P. Star Trek!

[@xenomorphskullhunter7935]

Coecludd this argument is starting to sound a lot like the same tired argument that Star Wars fans are saying about The Last Jedi. Though I must admit that I, for once, prefer Discovery to the latest Star Wars film. It isn't perfect, but I find it does a serviceable job of bridging the gap between Enterprise and TOS. It has NOT killed the franchise but rather revitalized a franchise that was in danger of becoming stale and too formulaic. They say if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. But let's face the facts here. Star Trek has been kinda.... meh, since the last Next Generation movie which, to be honest, wasn't that great to begin with. No offense to Johnathan Frakes or any of TNG's cast.

[@DWNicolo]

Hey CBS get a clue make this into a feature film.

[@bd8026]

Much, much better than JAR JAR ABRAMS

[@TheJuris1973]

damn, this is excellent. I enjoy the new STar Trek movies, but they arent that good, pretty flimsy plots if im honest

[@shadowqueen1701]

It is a shame that Discovery is a poor version of Axanar.

[@bigemugamer]

I love how these 'amateurs' are lucky enough to get professional actors and actresses, phase 2 had sulu and janice rand. Edit: (just finished watching it) MOAR!!! moremoremoremoremoremoremoremoremore..................

[@DocPicklez]

I want to watch this so bad.

[@seoulkidd1]

[@jamebrooke894]

[@Diomedes01]

Good grief! What an amazing job on this mini movie!

[@bassmith448bassist5]

Diomedes01 CBS got a whole lot of. butt hurt. So sad that they didn't co opt this and produce it.

[@LordTalax]

Damn, that is good stuff everytime I see it. How dare CBS try to sink such art and genius!

[@ksmurphy151]

Need to start a petition...this needs to get done

[@caragroves7196]

This is just like the CBS running to the courts to stop this great show from being done as it shows them up as they just want J.J Abrams stuff not this great show done by fans not the great CBS could do this so fans keep doing this kind of shows live long Star Trek and Axanar and lets see the full film and Come on fans pay for this film to be done Ok

[@paulmoffat9306]

Sadly, CBS won the lawsuit - They can only produce 2 - 20 minute 'movies', while the produce 'Star Trek Discovery' (puke!).

[@travishenty1113]

Cara Groves Well we would have got a finished film had the guys making Axanar not violated fair use by using the money they got from crowd funding to open a for profit production company. As much as I hate the end results, CBS/Paramount were within their rights to defend their intellectually property from people obviously using it for personal gain.

[@timweatherill3738]

If that is what happened I regretfully agree. But must the status quo prevail in the long run? I hope not, because this looks like a ripping yarn, and has lots of possibilities, apart from being a war movie.

[@granto4069]

These guys used the money funded from their campaign to pay themselves huge salaries, and actively tried to court Netflix and other streaming services to pick up their "fan film". This is what they did They bullied other Trek fanfilms to try to get them shut down and they used the funds to build a studio that they planned to rent out for use by other productions as further income. Not exactly a fan film level operation. Which at that point they are trying to make a substantial profit off of copy-written material So no they are not innocent fan film makers, and they just ruined it for everyone else. Because of this im not surprised or even mad that CBS sued them

[@Great_America]

Outstanding job!! This is what Star Trek is all about. I really hope full production is allowed to happen. This is probably one of the best storylines ever and fills in the gap on the details regarding the Federation and Klingon war.

[@d.a.robinson6105]

I am saddened that I have only just found this film now, in 2018 instead of when it was originally made. I like this documentary more than most of what Paramount has produced for this franchise in the last ten years. This is a fantastic piece, and I can only understand CBS/Paramount blocking this work out of shame, because it exceeds their attempts at story-line and rivals their televised special effects. This is more than an fan fiction, it is a work of art.

[@Kevinegan1]

The Hollywood influence upon Gene Roddenberry's STAR TREK has been one big stinking colossal f*ckup after anoth er. Even Roddenberry's original was marred with devastating concessions to Hollywood's belief that they, and only they, knew what the American people wanted and could "comprehend." Roddenberry had to lie and deceive to keep STAR TREK alive and in production. But in the end STAR TREK fell into Hollywood's disgusting hands and as always the consequences were just that, disgusting. This "PRELUDE to AXANAR" is the only thing that I have seen that truly captures the original feel of Gene Roddenberry's original STAR TREK. And predictably Hollywood has done everything in it's power to suppress it. I have to honestly say that as a child of the nineteen sixties STAR TREK influenced who I was and who I became as an adult. Nothing aside from my parents has held such an influence over me. I am not merely disgusted, frustrated and saddened by what Hollywood has done to Star Trek I am infuriated that they will not let go of Star Trek and allow those who have proven that they know how to capture and thus resume the true intent that Roddenberry envisioned for his greatest creation STAR TREK and finish AXANAR and then continue the series. Not content with taking part, they want it all and have full control.Their arrogance is intolerable. My argument is that Star Trek has grown beyond any one person's or group's control. Forty years of Star Trek and still a huge demand by the people, Star Trek belongs now to the fans and not Paramount, Hollywood or anyone else. It is January 2018 and Hollywood's arrogance and perversion has long last caught up with them. It seems that at every turn yet another scandal rocks the Hollywood movie industry and the filthy, perverted sub-culture of sexual criminal deviants that have for too long held power over the US entertainment industry. I can only quietly hope and pray that the disgusting Hollywood giants will fall and those like the makers of STAR TREK "PRELUDE to AXANAR" can continue their quality work and finally begin to provide the American people and the world with high quality, virtuous entertainment.

[@andersonnettleship845]

Too bad CBS didn't like being upstaged by Crowed Funded Fan Fiction, this would have been so much better than STD. I'm glad that we have The Orville to watch along with reruns of the real Star Trek series.

[@monesqe]

Anderson Nettleship the Renegades is pretty fantastic too. It is hard to believe how good some of the stuff is.

[@gizmothewytchdoktor1049]

std.....socially transmitted disease. yep...that about covers discovery and it's diseased premise.

[@tomohawk5567]

[@JK-Visions]

Too bad this wansnt made. I hope cbs goes broke.. Love this prelude! Reminds me of the best sci fi out there!

[@maxpayne930]

Now this is that Star trek should be today not JJ,s BS i WANT this pls.

[@birdbrad4148]

ironically enough JJ supported this, but Paramount and CBS still fucked it over...

[@Hellsong89]

Lost touch? I dont think they even know what fan base is. All they keep constant contact is their share holders.

[@TheCaptainSplatter]

The star trek movies are fine, its the new TV show that looks like shit.

[@OriginalMergatroid]

JJ movies pretty much suck. The last one was better because he wasn't involved. Making Khan a white guy was inexcusable, and using the transporter to get to Kronos turned it from Science Fiction to Science Fantasy. JJ is such a huge Star Wars fan (not that there's anything wrong with that) that he tried to make Star Trek into Trek Wars. If those movies had nothing to do with Star Trek they would have been fine. They definitely were not Star Trek.

[@stevefowler1787]

I'm an old star trek fan (but not a fanatic) and had never heard of this...I must say this production is the best Star Trek production I have ever seen...I sure wish they'd do a movie about this subject with these actors and this director and screenplay writer...just tremendous.

[@AlexSDU]

It's a fan-made movie, sir.

[@stevefowler1787]

***** Yes I understand that...just stating how well it was done.

[@thomasgor8870]

I understand that some of the production work was done by some of the actors in the movie. But Paramount made a big mistake in baking this venture with a little cash in exchange for some credits. It would've gone a long way to assuring a strong fan base for any of the Franchise theatre productions.

[@jamiemezs9891]

my only question is has Paramount CBS even seeing this this is a gold mine negotiate you fools

[@ThePaladinHulk]

This was very well done.

[@ludeman]

This just blows STD out of the water!

[@OldF1000]

Yes you couldn't cure STD with penicillin

[@pikewerfer]

so totally true!!

[@jimh472]

kind of a low bar but true

[@ToyKingWonder]

I really like these efforts. I have been working on a very small scale sci-fi adventure, all the effects done myself, key models done by a professional, and I am totally enjoying it. However, anyone that looks at this work and shrug it off as "big deal, just CGI and green screen effects" has never put anything together that is quality. Everything in a production, when you don't have a big budget behind you, takes 2-10 times longer than you think it will! I don't care if you have great software for CGI, someone has to build it, you have to have the imagination for the "look" of the thing, and the effects have to be part of a story, not just for sh!ts and giggles. I don't care for the JJ Abrams look and stories, and I cannot stand the new Star Trek series. Garbage. We have real talent floating around right there, funded by someone's personal wallet. Bravo. Hollywood should be scared. One day we'll all collaborate, put our funds together, and sell our packages to Netflix and keep all the profits ourselves, and Hollywood, its perverts, its good old boy and girls club, and its BS and go straight to hell.

[@OrionAcaba]

RIP Richard Hatch- Qa'Pla

[@jasonsylvander3089]

pak40l46 I was trying to figure out why he looked familiar in that makeup

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

CBS was right to be worried about this thing. Discovery doesn't hold a candle to this.

[@redcardinalist]

Agreed entirely. Such a pity that (due to "shennigans") by various parties, it sadly looks incredibly unlikely that a full series/film will ever see the day now. Instead we get Discovery. this would have been true to the ethos of Star Trek and would have fitted in entirely withing the TOS feel and canon. The is so well done. IIn terms of acting, dialogue, effects AND direction, it's as good (if not better) that most things you get from major media companies. Just a pity they ("he") arsed it up. Garth "We didn't sign up to be soldiers. That's not what Starfleet is about". Pity the writer's/producers of Dsicvery didn't note this.

[@thesuremen]

agree & 2nd.

[@WesNumber1]

Alec Peters lied to your faces. The full Axanar film will never get made. Alec Peters is a con man.

[@redcardinalist]

I have to say that I don't think he lied. I think he was a victim (if that is the right expression) of his own hubris. I also don't think he was a conman. However, he's not the first person to start out with good intentions and subsequently get an inflated idea of his self worth. Prelude to Axanar remains (in my view) better than anything that's been offically made for Star Trek in the past 20+ years and that is a sad indictment. The film won't be made of course purely because of the actions of CBS/Viacom etc. Let's be clear about this. They're the ones who took legal action. Instead we have the shitty Discovery which, whatever it's merits, bears no relation to Star Trek at all.

[@dennywordkiller4253]

I agree with your first paragraph but it's worth noting that Paramount and CBS pretty much let fans do whatever they wanted to and New Voyages was even featured on CBS News This Morning. Axanar went far beyond your typical fan film and that's when CBS decided to step in. $1 million plus dollars raised, union actors and the list goes on. Axanar inadvertently killed a number of Star Trek fan series which had been ongoing for years with episodes which may never be released.

[@bd8026]

"Captain Garth? I AM LORD GARTH!"

[@na3044]

We could have this,. instead we have discovery. Fuck, I hate the media.

[@drubio1062]

This would have been light years ahead of 'Discovery'!

[@mattstein565]

I agree, Discovery is all flash, no substance!! They rely heavily on special effects but the story is weak.

Also oxymoron for star trek in general.. i mean who breaks rule nb.1.. the god damn prime directive in first episodes intro!?!?! Sure it looks cool, but era is all wrong.. this high tech stuff should have been after the voager got back with new tech from delta quadrant. This video sums up how time line should have been presented, cause its some what past. New series and movies should be setting their sights into future. Enterprice was good series, but even that was barely able to fit in.

Disc is better than this.

Another libtard illegal with room temperature IQ.

[@TemplarX2]

Where on Earth are you located at to have a room temperature of 154 degree Celsius? Near an active volcano?

[@seawolf4846]

Did anyone see the most famous Registrion Number in the history of Star Trek in here? I certainly did.

[@dray7276]

Yes sir seen the millennium falcon

[@DuelingBongos]

Awwwww! This all happens before Capt. Garth goes insane. It certainly is more credible than that mess "Star Trek: Discovery." That really was insane!

[@Shannmeister]

I'd like to see the Klingons try and attack Inverness in Scotland! :)

[@Nopenopenopenope28]

So much better than Discovery. This is what Trek should be!!

[@d2ark73]

Wow!!!!

[@thatone_dude]

I would have gladly paid for the streaming if the Star Trek Discovery was this. Just the story of the 5 year war.

[@OriginalMergatroid]

That's the killer, isn't it? CBS would have gotten a lot more people to watch a new show if it has of been like this instead of the crappy show they produced. They shot themselves in the foot here and have no one else to blame but themselves.

[@polarstar2905]

Thank the universe for Star Trek and creative sci fi in general. The real world is mad and full of insanity.

[@Booski1974]

Love!!!!!!!!

[@MrEhole]

Just found this. My apologies for a late awareness. Simply.... Brilliant.

[@BikerGeek]

Wow, took me a while to realize who the Klingon was..

[@EnDSchultz1]

Outstanding!

[@lopeylo9799]

This Shit is really good

[@kawafahra]

This is Star Trek, it is not too late. We need it yesterday. Make it so.

[@OrionAcaba]

kawafahra ENGAGE

[@jimbo92107]

Garth, you glorious lunatic. Rock on! Ramirez, I was sick for ten solar days after I ate that Denebian slime worm. You still owe me 20 quatloos!

[@davidwilliams-ji7rp]

this is truly what Star Trek should be like!

[@markmendel9883]

We could have had this. Instead CBS "graced" us with Discovery. Um. Thanks?

[@jamesmartin9401]

Thanks for your excellent work as John Gill. You made us all understand why Kirk revered him.

[@fullmetalgamers1276]

Why Why is discovery a thing? This is better in every way.

[@texican101st6]

Way better than that Discovery bullshit.

[@trendane]

Daaaaamn, sir!

[@EricTorrKlopperSuiderland]

Man, I felt like a kid again, sitting in front of the TV experiencing true Sci Fi. Very well done!!!!!

[@kenhogg858]

This movie needs to be finished and shown.....to hell with CBS.....or better yet have CBS show it

[@davidroberts4831]

Brilliant video is there going to be a film of this david

[@rehdit2306]

They got original StarTrek actors? CBS, you screwed up.

[@macmcleod1188]

Pride on the part of Paramount gave us the Kelvin universe and STD. They could have been printing money if they had simply bought and made this story line. if only the Axanar group had been less greedy to. And a little more stealthy.

[@ProfessorYana]

> Coriana 6 I'm guessing Captain Sheridan wasn't present.

[@VipMike]

Crazy good well done Trekies live long MtfbwU always.👍

[@romaniasante5519]

This is my third time watching this I love it

[@gpdude22]

If only the acting wasn't so poor. Starting with Michael Scott at 3:05.

[@Rekkoff]

Thousand times better then STD.

[@willytheekid]

2023...and this is STILL some of the very best of Star trek!🥰 Every actor & person involved should be both very proud of what they made...and very sad that more was not made, they deserved this one...we ALL deserved this one! (The acting, story and law...all just beyond incredible!! - Kia Kaha!!)

[@tylerbeckett1707]

Nice! Good job, bro.
