CBS really needs to pull the stick out of their collective 4th point of contact and allow fans to make fan film content. It hurts nothing in the end and only gives them more to feed from with ideas on where the fans want to see the universe go and not a bunch of bureaucrats in Hollywood with their personal agendas. Good film! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Hey, I can see both points of view because no one wants their product diluted and cheap knock-offs taking away from their property. I mean they could find themselves strapped for cash somehow ;-) I think the rules are fair actually. In fact, the guidelines provide discipline and a sense of order, which is very representative of the Star Trek universe itself. Thanks for commenting and watching the film.

This does credit to Gene Roddenberry. The props, sets, costumes, and special effects. A good story set in that time. Just like those made by fans set in the original series.

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.

[@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.

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.

@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.

Thanks man :-)

Thanks Jeremy for watching and the kind comments! Awesome!

Found my way to this episode per KZbinr Dave Cullen's analysis and recommendation. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Thanks for watching and the very kind comments!

Ditto!!

[@NelsonStJames]

That's how I found my way here too! Definitely a worthy plug.

[@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.

Must watch that.

Great production values and high quality performances. Great episodes.

The story, production value and acting are on par with the actual series. Very impressed with this fan...no...this film. I would watch this if it were a series.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! We've actually just launched an "A-Team film" Kickstarter! If you have the time, check it out it, pass it around and chip in if you want to! We'd be very grateful😊 www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-teamfanfilm/the-a-team-fan-film

[@2150dalek]

This is incredible, felt like I was watching S.T.: The Next Gen in late 80's,90's again...The action was well honed, (no stupid attention deficit shots) actors look exactly the part, - no over weight fan boys, no ridiculous hair, no minors or obviously retired people trying to portray Star Fleet, -as too many Fan films have...This is hi quality Trek people yearn for.

[@FPSD]

Nice one, thank you Dalek 2150 :-) You might wanna check out our other TNG era film too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKawd3eqpc90aa8

Wow, a brilliant way to be back in the TNG universe! Growing up with that “era” of Star Trek, made this a wonderful reliving of those wonderful times, and boy how it makes you long for more of that same great storytelling! Looking forward to your next productions!

[@FPSD]

Thanks Ray - Sounds like we did what we hoped we would. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks Ray! We appreciate you watching and commenting so positively about our film!

[@McShave]

I've been waiting for this since it was first announced and it did not disappoint. Great work guys. Everyone who worked on this deserves a pat on the back. There were times where I forgot this was a fan film and just sat there taking it in. You could tell with an extra 15 mins, this would have made an excellent episode of TNG.

[@FPSD]

That's very cool of you, thanks McShave!

[@FixFilmsLtd]

Thanks for the wonderful comments :-)

[@voyagesfanfilm]

Congratulations on a fantastic production! I love just how faithful you guys are to the style of TNG. Some terrific performances, clever use of the limited (but well designed) sets and a truly 'of the era' story! Really enjoyed it!

Thanks Aaron - you're very kind!

Nice one Aaron - I appreciate that coming from you. You've done some great films yourself in my opinion :-)

[@MarkMcWane]

I have always been a massive Star Trek fan, having every film released on either 4K or Standard Blu-Ray, the restored original series and TNG on Blu-Ray and an avid fan of fan made releases like the brilliant Star Trek Continues, Axanar and others. THIS production made with such love, outstanding acting, effects, music and writing, had me SO engaged in minutes that I literally forgot it was fan made and I kept waiting to see and hear the TNG cast enter a scene. I am so impressed and happy to have finally come across this masterpiece. Bravo.

[@FPSD]

Thank you Mark! I'm really glad you had that reaction to our film 🙂 You might enjoy our other TNG era fan film "Chance Encounter" too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKawd3eqpc90aa8

Thanks for your kind comments!

[@noneed4me2n7]

I really love how the got the feel of some of the regular less attention focused episodes. The cultural representation felt spot on. Performances were great, and the technical and audio production felt true to how the original felt. I was 14 when ST:TNG aired and this really brought the nostalgia feels. As God Tod says “It just works!”

Couple things: 1) I'm really sad Boltzmann and Kost died; and 2) I am grinning Ear To Ear at how Incredible this production is! CBS NEEDS to let you guys make the Next Star Trek show, but until then, Please Please PLEASE don't Stop making these fan films! You're Right up there with all the best Fan Films ever made. Also, Hannaj Bang Bendz is Insanely Beautiful.

[@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

[@robbicu]

I am so over JJ-Trek and Discovery. Like a bad dream on an alternative timeline that will hopefully be soon forgotten. This is what StarTrek should be!

[@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.

Thank you so much for making this. This Fan Production is 100 times better than any episode of ST: Discovery made by CBS, and a 1000 times better than any "shorts" made by CBS. Bravo!
