[@mitros4]

@@avalonuniverse6327 I've been impressed by all of your episodes. That's why I was surprised and disappointed by the HUGE flaw in temporal mechanics logic.....until the ending. Beautifully done! My only criticism is that the words and lip movements didn't sync when the Ganali first started speaking. That was only for the first sentence or two. But you didn't go back and correct this with a reshoot.

[@RichardBonomo]

@@mitros4 The momentary loss of sync was, no doubt, a consequence of the two communications system (Federation and Ganali) completing the transmission and translation protocol negotiations that would be necessary for two comm systems, alien to each other, to permit communications to take place between the two crews. Of course. That's it. ;-) Beyond that, I've not had time to review the plot sequence, which I would like to do as I did not catch how the plot resolved (surprise!) the way it did. Would you be able and willing to sort this out for me? Thank you.

I was very grateful to be asked to be a part of this. The friendship I have formed with Ray Tesi is incredibly important to me. He's a man working hard to keep a dream alive by creating Neutral Zone Studios. He's doing it for the entire fan film community. It's an honor to be a part of that mission!

[@Hazmatt4700]

There is just something about the adventure to be had in the TOS era that makes it the most enjoyable for fan films. Probably having high quality sets doesn't hurt either.

[@snowwolvesproductions]

Absolutely first rate!!! I really enjoyed it. It blew me away when I saw the time scout ships! I have been searching for 2 years for the shots I need for our film. I'm dying to get a teaser reel done so we can raise funds to come back to Kingsland and Neutral Zone studios and make a fan film. I need an intro with the scout timeship coming through the rift and circling the USS Yorktown (TOS era like yours). The Yorktown tries to evade as the scoutship circles, drops the shields around the hanger bay and lands inside. Next shot for later of the Wells class timeship ripping open the rift and coming through, coming nose to nose with the Yorktown. I love what ya'll did. It was a great story, great acting, and great cinematography! Aces all around!

[@STho205]

Agreed. He is one of the most convincing actors in a captain role, even including the various professional series. It may help that Vic was the director. He is really the best director in the ST universe for the consistency of form and format, amateur or professional. Who wrote this script. I missed that credit. One of the best stories I've seen in the ST context.

Very Star Trek. Good one.😄👍🏾

[@Zenguin]

Pretty solid story. Only one real critique is for the shuttle shots it would of helped for the actors to have a practical object to rest their hands on. Hover hands, and gripping nothing at the end that didn't match up with the CG. The 60's era ships, lighting and feel was pretty spot on. Had to check and yup Scotty did theorize about trans-warp nice nugget of lore there.

That was really good, I’m bit confused at the end of the story but I loved it nonetheless

[@NPSao]

The war was always part of the normal timeline, and the Federation refused to help as they haven't made first contact yet. So, time was changed and the Federation made an early contact and hence was able to provide protection.

[@DistracticusPrime]

Not only that, but thanks to the early contact and intervention to prevent the war, Jilan doesn't need to steal a time ship and is instead recruited to become an agent.
