    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.

      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.

      @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. It REQUIRES faith (that ANYTHING is knowable) to do ANY science at all. Religion is far more humble, admitting to faith right out on the surface.

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.

    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!!

    Watched Star Trek TOS, as a child, when it first went into syndication about early to mid-70's. I'm 54 now and have watched every TREK iteration. In one way or another, I've, literally, watched TREK everyday for about FIFTY years. I think i've earned the right to express what IS or what ISN'T Trek. "The Holy Core" and "Chance Encounter" are absolutely STAR TREK. The stuff CBS is putting out most certainly is not.

    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.

    If you can do this with Star Trek why not take the next leap and make a feature-length drama comedy non-trek film? there are many low-budget stories that you can do I’m sure.
    The talent is there right in front of you.

      Hi Richard, thanks for your kind feedback. We have already made many low-budget, non-Trek short films. They can be seen here: www.fixfilms.co.uk
      In regard to a feature length film we would love to do that. However, filmmaking, as you probably know is very expensive and we would need help raising a budget to make a bigger film - even a low budget one. I appreciate you watching and commenting so positively though. Thanks.
