Star Trek : Odyssey 1.01 "Iliad"

The battle against the Tholians has been long since over, and the Federation enjoys peace within its borders once more. But in an uninhabited section of Romulan space, a new threat is brewing. Mysterious ships from the Andromeda galaxy have begun an invasion, and seem all but completely unstoppable.
But springing forth from the vaults of the secret Grey research facility on Deep Space 12 is one last miracle to help the newly-allied Romulans. Slipstream technology has the ability to enable the newest Federation starship, the USS Odyssey to traverse millions of light years in a matter of weeks. A bold mission is put together to stop the ruthless invading forces, but will it be enough to stop the vastly superior forces?

The star trek Odyssey, Helena, and Hidden Frontier are so well done, that I don't even care for the original series or next generation series.

[@Ankhtowe]

So, I happened across this randomly, and while it's a nice effort there were quite a few...issues. 1) Your admiral was wearing a notably oversized jacket, and his badge was crooked. 2) Romulan: "This is no time for secrets." That seems...well, unlikely. 3) Your admiral seemed mind-boggingly stupid, and utterly lacking in decision-making capability. 4) I don't know if there's some backstory to this episode, but if there is it is poorly numbered. -continues-

I have got to say some of these actors are better than ones in the feature films. Very good story line. It would be a shame if CBS continues their stupidity.

[@DanaPearsonVastman]

[@hannable70]

I guess you watched the episode with your volume muted? Sorry, but the concensus is that the acting was pretty awful. When your ridiculous hatred of CBS blinds you so much that you think this fanfiction equated to good acting, well, it's obvious you lost all of our objectivity. Maybe you've found some in the last 3 years but I doubt it. I've watched a lot of fan-made episodes with varying acting skills, but this was one of the worst. I mean, it's fan-fiction so I don't expect Academy Award performances, so I don't have sky high expectations. But c'mon -- to say that they're better than the actors in the feature films is going way beyond the pale here in your attempt to bash CBS and any Trek that isn't at least 30 years old. People need to stop with the nostalgia -- you'll never be happy living in the past. Nor will you ever be able to appreciate anything new.

[@clay56]

BEFORE other fan made series like ST Phase II or ST Continues... This was a VERY well made series especially considering the whole "studio" where it was produced was a trailer camper equipped with a green mat. Many of the cast members were not professional actors and ALL involved were voulenteers. As to the comments of certain viewers, I suppose the "logic" is that if two characters in the series are confirmed to be same gender oriented then it's safe to assume the rest of the crew is as well.

[@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES]

12) If he was referring instead to the Klingon ships cloak, then he really should have said so, as being specific with information delivery is kind of a mandatory job qualification for such positions anywhere. 13) And finally, at the black hole place at the end...the enemy flagship was able to completely circumnavigate the anomaly in the time it took the Odyssey to enter it, with a head start? Then why did they bother entering it in the first place?

[@bleis1]

Cool thanks

[@RageTH22]

Considering its a fan production, it's not too bad. They're doing the best with what they have. The gay relationship seems a bit pushed forward a bit too heavily for one episode, even in the official Trek shows later on kept hetero relationship a but more subdued, and if it got hot and heavy, then it was because of a plotpoint. So far, all I've seen is half of the first episode, so my opinion has yet to be finalized. Does the Uploader pay any attention to the comments? I have yet to see a response anywhere to anything.

[@razrfrost1776]

lol why do you think your comment is relevant? and have you ever heard of Riker? The guy was full on hetero to everyone from day one. So no I can't see how or why they would bother with your backwards thinking comment in a universe meant to be forward thinking

[@batquad8889]

I agree with the OP. They did a very good job, BUT any overkill on gay, hetero, etc... should be avoided. Too much gory violence is another trait that should be avoided. As to the jumping on a mild comment such as the OP is of no value either. If the comment was excessive, it was not, pushback is appropriate. In this case it was just virtue signalling.

[@1asdfasdfasdf]

The interesting thing is in TNG it's stated by Beverly Crusher that the entire human brain had been mapped. They are now able to correct for anomalies. Would that mean that a homosexual could choose to be straight? What if a parent wanted their child to be gay? It does pose some interesting possibilities.

[@RageTH22]

Little surprised to see a comment this old getting replies this far out, Lol. I haven't heard anything new about this since I first originally saw it.

[@marcodavinci3150]

I have to disagree with Sev, the gay relationship didnt feel forced at all and felt quite natural actually. It was obviously being featured for dramatic effect as the couple was going to be separated later. Pleasantly surprised to see the first gay Captain in a Star Trek show! Awesome!

[@TheSpelldoctor]

There are labors of love. This series is one, and it shows. Once again...BRAVO!!

[@Daclassicx7]

[@reedallen4613]

Here's a couple good 'what-if' scenario questions: 1 - if the Arkain had attacked the Dominion, how short of a time before the Dominion forces were completely obliterated? 2 - if the Arkain had been dumb enough to try attacking the Borg, how quickly would they be assimilated by the Borg?

[@styleisaweapon]

Its true that the original series had the first televised interracial kiss in America, but what was not true was that they made the entire series about interracial kisses. If you want to portray homosexuality as no big deal in the future, you need to not make it such a big deal. Having multiple scenes in every episode that are literally dripping with it actually does the opposite of the intent.

[@mikejhorn]

Very well put! There is nothing subtle about any of the writing for this show. The beauty of TOS was the inclusion of issues relevant at the time without overdoing it or being preachy. One cannot say that for this or the new CBS "Star Trek Discovery." The were several episodes of Star Trek after TOS that included or hinted at LGBT without doing it in a manner that disagreed with many. I agree with some opinions that some of the heterosexual romantic scenes were over the top and hard to watch.

[@jv-lk7bc]

Roddenberry created something truly unique - of more cultural value than even many of its fans are aware. But whether by accident or design, TOS was often unsubtle, and definitely had its preachy moments.. (If you can't you conjure the brassy tones behind a Kirk Inspirational Speech in your head, i wonder how much TOS you have seen? ;)

[@charliesthill4790]

MJ Horn The right amount of subtlety depends on the culture they are trying to portray. This probably takes place after the human race has gotten rid of homophobia a long time ago. They are now considered normal relationships, so subtlety isn’t always necessary.

[@mercuryblack9531]

Hmm, but very often there was a hetero love scene in many, many episodes, whether TOS, TNG, ENT, DS9... Subtle? A homosexual scene does not a series make. U sir are stupid and homophobic. U fail to see what's normal about homosexuality, and choose to see it "different". Therein lies ur issue. Plus u have piss poor logic. To even make a statement that says homosexuality is pushed to the forefront, yet not even taking note of the blatant hetero alien (Majan and Caecos) sex that happens in the same fucking episode???

[@ChildovGhad]

The fact that they're gay didn't bother me, but it did come off like softcore porn, and had zero relevance to the plot. I didn't really care for the hetero soft porn scenes in Star Trek: Enterprise between Trip and T'Pol, either. Way too drawn out.

You assume right. This is a very low budget fan series that started around 2008, a spin-off from the fan series Hidden Frontier (that was itself coming from Voyages of the Angeles way back in the 90s). These guys did a lot of great stuff all on their own and with very little money.

The original Star Trek had televised the worlds first interracial kiss. The idea that this particular interpretation of Star Trek has now further expanded upon same sex interpersonal relationships should come as no surprise since Gene Roddenberry was a visionary regarding space exploration and pioneering of the human spirit.

For a fan film this is very well made. Who cares if there are gay or straight or characters practicing polyamory for that matter? I thought the gay commander was a nice touch. Since one of Star Trek's main themes was "tolerance" it shouldn't surprise anyone that the script writers added in a different type of relationship. Doesn't anyone remember Phlox from Enterprise? His wife had other husbands, and people seemed to be okay with that sort of polyamorous relationship. How is this any different?

I can't believe how many comments here are about the gay characters' subplot. I never cared for the mushy scenes on Star Trek (the relationship between Riker and Troi was often cringeworthy), the fact is they've been there, from "The Cage" on. Featuring a gay couple is totally consistent with Roddenberry's vision for the show. Not a few people complained about Uhura's and Kirk's kiss back in the day. If that stuff bugs you, don't watch these shows. I have to say that this show, flaws aside, isn't bad, and the same could be said for many of the fan series. I appreciate how much these folks do, for the most part on their own time with not much expectation of monetary or other such rewards. Nonetheless, the actresses who play the head alien and the Romulan officer seem to be in a contest to see who can chew the most scenery.

[@kaoskode]

You have your head stuck up your ass. From the cage on huh? Name any obvious gay couple from the original series or any other star trek series. There might be a couple of hints but nothing in your face. This isn't what Roddenberry tried to do besides the fact that the acting and cinematography sucs ass MAJOR ass. The gay crap doesn't bother me near as much as the smoke rising in front of the actors for the first several minutes before there was even any fire on the bridge. This show just plain sucks.

[@charlesameyer1]

Gary Simmons You missed my point, genius. I wasn't saying that there were gay evidently characters in the original Star Trek, I said there were scenes with romance and hints of sex. Just as folks who didn't like having to see "negro" or Chinese characters on TV didn't have to watch TOS, you don't have to watch this show.

[@hannable70]

Gay or not, I wasn't happy with the characters. First of all, they were both WAY too young to be commanders in Star Fleet. They were both kids, for crying out loud, and they acted like it., too. Neither of them were old enough to be lieutenants much less commanders. Plus, neither of them were particularly attractive, which didn't help. To have these two college-age kids entrusted by Starfleet to be doing secret stuff for the Federation and meeting in person with admirals -- and listening to their high childlike voices spewing out things that should have come from a much older set of vocal cords was really off-putting to me. Plus, if they had been 20 or 30 years older, they may have been far more mature in how they handle their relationship -- and not ripping each others' clothes off behind some cargo bins because they have 10 free minutes to be together. And who the hell complains about not having time for their honeymoon to a friggin' admiral about to give them important orders? Those two acted like two 13 year-olds in love for the first time, always hanging on each other in every scene. I'm surprised they weren't necking in front of their commanding officer. "Well, sir, you paused for a second, so I thought I'd squeeze in a kiss while you took a breath ..." It was made all the worse by the sub-par acting. For instance, their voice inflections were all wrong for the topics they were discussing, the anger scenes had little emotion behind the yelling, and a lot of other things. But having those two puppies as the main characters, gay or not, I just couldn't deal with. The immature way they conducted their romance was the final straw.
