I loved it...Picard in the 'uninvited guests facility'. These fan films have great senses of humor and adventure.

[@kadindarklord]

I liked the line about the toothpick as well.

[@davidtongue4198]

I like this...….For you haters......don't dislike something you cant do better yourself. These folk spent time bringing something great. Hats off to you I am loving this.

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

At Last A Scottish Star Trek! Well Done lads! The Capt. Picard Character was well played too!

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

Erlangshen king Why make a stupid statement like that?

[@stevemcdonald4885]

And no American Chief Engineer? I am SO insulted! Other than that, Bravo Zulu SS Intrepid cast and crew.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Hi Nancy and thanks. Overall, it took about a year to film, though we shot all Giles' scenes and the exteriors over a single 3 day weekend. Post production took a few years, and was mainly held up by the need to replace a lot of the dialogue due to sound problems. Giles wasn't a stunt double for Mr Stewart, but does work as an impersonator.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks, we have fun doing it. We're glad some people enjoy watching. :)

[@gmajor1273]

Great job everyone. The Picard character was outstanding.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thank you, it's always nice to hear someone enjoys what we're doing. Alas, no comments from Sir Patrick yet yet. ;) As to the other comments, I suspect he or she was just trying to be funny, but the admin has deleted it anyway. Basic rule, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, it's probably not a good idea to say it online. :)

[@andytay5507]

mail a copy to his agent. I bet he would love it!

[@tessierpower]

Loved it

[@BossyGuyMike]

And the best part is, the actor portraying Picard in this portrayed him in the Trek XXX Parody too. #funfacts

[@lgbttoday]

Intrepid and Voyager! Still the two prettiest ships in the fleet!

[@andremartel828]

That was a real good Capt. Picard. Nice job.

[@paulfleming715]

I have agreed the actor could easily play Patrick Stewart's stunt double.

[@paulfleming715]

I hope there won't be legal consequences

[@AngelCatBaby]

i really enjoyed this version....thanks for sharing and doing it....love the guy who places Picard....awesome lookalike.....love the music as well as the story line....HIGH 5 to all on this one and especially to the one called Picard....yaaaahhhhh Patrick Stewart has a stand-in....my hats off to you...great acting....hard to play characters which have stood the test of time and seasons.....love it....thank you for doing this....thanks to all for doing a great segment...again HIGH 5....would love to see more of this

[@GeppettoProductions]

Great theme music. Particularly the end credits.

[@alhartman66]

Another great installment of Intrepid! Keep up the great work!

[@AllenSteadham]

I enjoyed this episode and I'll add my "Nice Picard" to everyone else's chorus. I especially liked the follow up on the T'Bruin (sp?) from "Transitions and Lamentations." And the reveal reminded me of the the type of story element from TNG's "The Chase" with a more narrow focus, which I liked! As a constructive critique, I think the Picard/Hunter dislike was resolved a little abruptly, even if the way it was done was very Picard-like and his reasoning was appropriate. It just seemed to come out of the blue. I know the ep is only 30 minutes but it would have been nice to see Picard struggle with that realization a bit before he spoke with Hunter about it. The filming and the look of the sets is better this episode. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Transitions and Lamentation is still my fave but keep going, Nick and crew! This is a wonderful corner of the Star Trek universe and it deserves more delving into!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

JAS I gotta check out that transitions you mentioned

[@jent1701]

Holy Poop! Great Patrick Stewert look-a-like!! :)

[@justachannel9379]

Jonathan Myers All bald British men look alike. LOL

[@kadindarklord]

And tall. I spoke to Nick (Captain Hunter) about it at a con two years ago. Apparently, Patrick Stewart is around Nick's height, but Giles is much taller. I think that's where the line earlier on about him being shorter came from.

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

Jonathan Myers it seems that the historic holo projections were a little off, but that’s Picard alright.

[@justin.187]

Wow !!!

[@wendellvandyke4750]

I agree. An excellent impression by Giles Aston.

[@craighewitt4674]

"Set phasers tae malky"🤣seriously though. Well done 👏

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thanks, appreciate it. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thank you laviliterthefirst. We're not up to that standard yet by a long shot but we're working to improve. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again. :)

[@Fabian-Wenzel]

The similarity with Patrick Stewart is incredible

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks ilttpvvm! I have to agree, I think this is one area where we really did match up to the 'real deal'. Dylan Feeney simply knocked it out of the park on that theme. I love it!

[@truenolover]

i kinda recognize the actor playing picard. well he also played picard in a, different kinda star trek "fandom" film. i give'm props though for being a real decent look alike playing the role. in both projects.

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Well spotted. He actually shot our film first, though we released later. He’s an interesting guy. :)

[@MultiRabe]

I enjoyed this very much!

[@Mage7734]

Awesome production!!! Keep them coming.

[@enterprisingcaptian875]

As fan films go, I rather enjoyed this one. Great effort, thank you!

[@marlsomers6102]

Really great job! Thanks!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks for sticking with us KC. Hopefully we'll continue to improve.

[@karenfisher598]

Brilliant Nick! 😊xx

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Aww thank you. This is quite an old one, we’ve come along a ways since then. :)

[@1SeanBond]

Just been watching on Mac's World! Now I'm subscribed! Amazing content and filming, editing, appreciate all Luv&Peace Cheers from Sask Canada!

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate it. :)

[@renotyuk]

Great work love it

[@2ndEndingVintage]

Kudos...this is by far one of the better Fan attempts. You have folks that can act, and you have writers that can write....which is far more than I can say for most other endeavors I have thus far seen.

[@nevaehlumiere5418]

Really really good!!!!!

[@asurob]

Good job Nick and gang! You guys have come a very long way in film making from your early efforts I look forward to what you are cooking up next!

[@kadindarklord]

can I just say, that the guy you have playing Picard is so much like the real one.

[@jimvaughn5115]

I loved it. Great work.

[@formulagazza]

fantastic guys great show by all intrepid crew

[@moeskido]

Very much looking forward to seeing this tomorrow.

[@barbreader]

God, I do live this series! Another great episode! WOW!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

Your lighting camera work and sound are true Trek!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thank you!

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

The shop designs are amazingly accurate and well researched on the Romulan Bird of prey and the Federation Intrepid class star ships.

[@DanielBrongers]

Awesome episode, you guys! Great job....regards, Daniel

[@GavriilPeloponnakos]

I did love this as much as the other episodes.

[@RonG40]

Nice job, people! More than the improvements in the areas of effects, acting and direction in general, I have found myself quite invested in the fates of these characters. Bravos all around and continued success, with gratitude for keeping Trek alive! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode,

[@jameslawhorn6096]

This i thought was pretty good thank you for the show!

[@nickbutter9270]

I saw this Captain on Odessy Now he has his own staring role.... pretty KOOL,,, very nice. I like the fan films put out by the New Frontier productions. And they picked a good look alike for Picard

[@NickCookActingScribe]

I can accept that people have trouble with the accents, since it's different to what we're used to seeing. But it's really no different than the majority having American accents. It's also worth noting, that the actors are not all from the same part of Scotland, they're not even all Scottish. ;) Anyway, appreciate the comments, and the views. Thanks folks. :)

[@andytay5507]

I personally liked the accents, even if, as Mr. Scott may have said: 'How quaint."

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Al.

[@ricforster]

Well done guys - great to see the finished result!

[@richardgroberto]

well done!

[@oldwolf2004]

Great stuff from the Intrepid crew again. Can't wait for the next one. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thank you, Ron! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks!

[@ajwest3d]

Love to see such passionate community projects!

[@paulfleming715]

This was very tastefully done. Painstakingly designed down to the Bridge displays and uniforms. Obvious had nice budget.

[@MadHatch1971]

Fantastic stuff :)

[@LeeAndrewVideos]

Hi Danielle, other than some freelance work a few years back, my CG skills are purely self-taught and my renders a labor of love. I use Lightwave 3D in conjunction with Adobe's After Effects to achieve ship flybys, space combat scenes, close ups etc... Thank you for your kind words too. :-)

[@joshtaylor4153]

Good job

[@markding2072]

Just found this channel. Where have you been hiding??? Loving these vids. Well done all!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Yeah we enjoyed it!

[@travisallicott9562]

Impressed

[@ilttpvvm]

I usually don't watch Star Trek fan films, but Intrepid is so compelling. Thank you, Nick Cook, for helping to create such a fine addition to the saga. But I was just wondering, Mr. Cook, if you have ever heard from Patrick Stewart about "The Stone Unturned"? And I was also wondering, Mr. Cook, if you have ever thought about finding SantomPh and punching him out for insulting your wife (I happen to think she is quite lovely, if you don't mind my saying so, sir).

[@ilttpvvm]

Hello, Mr. Cook. I believe I may owe you an apology--because, of all the times I have watched "The Stone Unturned," I never once thought to ask about the dedication at the beginning. Certainly, the production of a good episode is important; but the memory of a fallen (friend, I assume) is more so. However, if you would rather not speak of it, then perhaps it was improper of me to ask. In any case, my apologies and condolences.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Hi Danielle, Through an awful lot of volunteer work. People love Star Trek, and just want to help out. We're very lucky. And yes, much of it was greenscreen. Thanks for watching, and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. :)

[@richardikin]

Those are some serious Vulcan ears!

[@cyborgbill5053]

When I 1st watched this last year I loved it (still do)! Good acting (great Picard), wonderful series theme music (I play it often). I was excited for new episodes, then the full realization of the Axanar lawsuit hit me. No, there won't be any new episodes. Dam Dam Dam!!!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Ric, and thanks for your help on this. :)

[@davemac2580]

Awesome seems to small of a word for this Bloody Awesome job. Well done, Now give me more........

[@wwcwcp09]

Hey great job Nick to all and you! How long did it take to make this film from start to finish? The enhanced special effects? Was Giles (as Picard) the stunt double for Patrick Stewart?

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Dave. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thank you. :)

[@JackPonissi]

Great script, great acting and I can’t tell which sets are real and which green screen. And great Picard, of course!

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

Nice

[@jamessedgwick9183]

GREAT series! Love the music. Is there a soundtrack?

[@BEBACK1]

great job as always, you can't keep a good captain down!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Gary. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks, Rob. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Checked and that is quite close!

[@Flynbrd68]

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this! The Picard doppelganger might be a way to circumvent CBS's stronghold on fan films! :-)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

It's very thoughtful of you to ask. Marie was Alan Johnston's partner.

[@paulfleming715]

I liked introduction the music and graphics were different compared most fan productions

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Thanks, glad you liked it. :)

[@GCKoerner]

There should be more scottish vulcans...

[@alexjones1985]

Don't forget there is already a black Vulcan in canon Trek (I know he's not Scottish, but he's a different racial group to Spock.)

[@commandingjudgedredd1841]

Phasers set to "stoat the bastards!!"

[@skyserf]

alex jones He’s the same race as Spock, he’s Vulcan.

[@ransom182]

Yes and less American ones Please!

[@skyserf]

ransom182 There are no American Vulcans.

[@tessierpower]

It is weird watching something that is not in 1080P lol but its good

[@StarShipIntrepid]

Glad you liked it. It’s quite an old film, and I’d like to think we’ve gotten a little better at this stuff since. :)

[@ilttpvvm]

Hello, Mr. Cook. Just thought that you would like to know that, when I think of great Star Trek theme music, I more often than not think of the theme from Intrepid. In fact, I often hum it to myself or whistle it out loud.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Mage. :)

[@alexpalmer9101]

1:38 Holy shit. That guy is the spitting image of you-know-who. Wouldn't be surprised it it's a long-lost brother or something.

[@Anonymous01959]

+Alex Palmer What guy is the spitting image of Dr Who?

[@alexpalmer9101]

Anonymous01959 He's the spitting image of Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Picard. I said you-know-who because I thought it was too obvious. Guess not...

[@joemasters2270]

+Alex Palmer Mr. Clean? Kidding ;)

[@alexpalmer9101]

Joe Masters LOL Good one. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks Moe. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks. :)

[@Anonymous01959]

Without the final glyph stone? Because it broke when he dropped it? They don't have glue in the 24th century?

[@Race353]

They don't have glue, they don't have replicators, no way to scan in and make a copy or even repair the damage with the transporters. Right.

[@notasloudr2807]

Nice to finally see one not in TOS time.

[@TacPBrothers]

Your Episodes are very cool! I Love the intro! But please make germen "CC"!

[@NickCookActingScribe]

That's exactly what happened. And thank you. :)

[@ilttpvvm]

Hello, Mr. Cook. If you and Lucie don't know about it yet, you have got to check out "Star Trek Continues" the next time you are on KZbin. It's a fan production that continues the adventures of Kirk and company during their original five-year mission. I mean, the writing is so sharp, the acting so compelling, the sets so detailed that you will feel like you are watching a newly discovered lost episode--believe me, you won't regret it (don't worry, I'll still watch Intrepid as often as I can).

[@floydbrown1474]

nice captain picard

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Hope you enjoyed, Moe. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Thanks, we like 'em. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Sadly we haven't been yet. It is on or to do list though. We planned to visit when we were in Upstate New York for the Blood and Fire shoot in 2007, but just couldn't make it.

[@terrymitchell6935]

I have created an entire series based on star trek, how does one go about getting a show online like this, any info, tips, would be appreciated!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

terry mitchell I will look for your Trek!

[@quazar912]

please don`t...

[@ilttpvvm]

Hello, Mr. Cook. Do you remember a couple of years ago, when Paramount said that they were developing a new Trek television series set after the events of the Voyager series? I haven't heard anything about it since then; I was wondering if perhaps you had.

[@kadindarklord]

Just noticed the typo in Coleb's profile. He has spend instead of he has spent.

[@NickCookActingScribe]

Danielle, thanks again. Jon Carling does work professionally in visual effects. Martin has done some professional work. I don't think Lee or Steve have, but I may be mistaken. We will be doing more, and hopefully at a much higher standard, production-wise. :) Thanks again. :)

[@NickCookActingScribe]

I like to believe the "better angels of our nature" will prevail in the end. Hope your day has started to improve. :)

[@OptimusWombat]

It's like the entire crew is Scotty.
