This is the Star Trek I remember. Maybe it's a different cast, production, music... But the heart and soul of what made me love Star Trek is here. I think this is something that Paramount has lost.

It was nice to see the return of Mason and Archer. The characters were missed. And a wonderful cameo by Captain, I mean Admiral, Garth. Looing forward to the future of the Avalon Universe.

Ok you sucked me in with this one. I was like "where is this one going?" Great show

Nicely done. Good to see Marty McFly is back!

Well, that's one way to bring a character from the dead. The wonderful and strange world of Time travel. Plus at it's heart, Star Trek is all about exploring the Unknown both outside and inside of ourselves. Talk about a First Encounter to remember.

A pleasure working on this. Great work all

Know us before you destroy us. Wise words.

Another great Star Trek adventure by true fans. It was great to see Alec Peters. Keep Trek alive in the Avalon Universe.

A story that tugs on the heart's strings. Well done, Avalon Universe.

"I dunno I've never died before" fucking killed me, my favourite line

Awesome job on this fan film it truly shows and is an example for compassion for those who have lost love ones in the past and how to move on after a great lose.

The use of lighting in this episode was EXCELLENT. TOS Trek sets really shine (literally) with the flood lights turned down, it lets the buttons and screens really stand out... this was done to great effect in "Mirror Darkly", and proves that TOS sets can look great, engaging, and modern. Just kill about 50% of the overhead lights. In the hallways, so many buttons were visible, spotlights on the conduits, etc, the lighting took this to the next level. No need to match TOS ultra bright lighting meant for 19" low res CRTs, this new style should be the standard; already giving us updated designs, aspect ratio, don't hesitate to resist that "ultra bright, no shadows" TOS lighting. This looks SO GOOD, and very expensive. Easily at least the match, or better than, most official network Star Trek shows. And the acting is also VERY GOOD. Please keep up the great work, this is amazing work, can't thank you enough for the quality Trek you're creating!

Great episode! Fantastic production values, and a wonderful job by the cast and crew. Congratulations!

I came across this by accident and a happy accident it is for me! I remember about the shuttle exploding from that previous episode. At first I wasn't sure where it was going but I was patient enough to understand and I'm glad that I got to see it in its entirety. I say Bravo! A job well done! Please continue this fine work hey you people do and bring more for all of us to see and share. Live long and prosper!

Another Excellent Avalon Universe Star Trek FAN FILM...🚀.All Hands...Writers Actors directors, props, storyline...Intriguing, engaging...exciting...stuns the imagination indeed.🤔...As Stated WELL DONE INDEED..🗣So Say WE ALL

I realized what this episode reminded me of. Star Trek Generations. Everyone thought Kirk had died on the Enterprise-B's shakedown cruise when she sideswiped the Nexus ribbon; in truth, Kirk was pulled into the ribbon.

I love the relationship between Mason and Archer. ❤❤❤❤❤

I didn't know Michael J Foxx was in the short!. Jod job to all.

Fantastic! Great to have them both back - especially Mason. Can't wait to see what you do next 🖖

Just found this. This is one of the best undeading stories I've ever seen!

I still get goosebumps, just like I did as a kid watching TOS. Excellent job, my fellow fans! ❤️

What a fantastic episode! I cannot wait to see how these new adventures play out. Thank you, all of you, for this incredible Star Trek Universe!

This deserves it's own rpg.

I love it! GREAT story and production value, acting, everything. I think that Avalon is the best Star Trek fan production going. Can’t wait to see more! I’m so glad that you brought these characters back!!!

Amazing! So deep a story. I’m donating for the fund raising, so we can have more!

You guys ROCK!!!! Not only is the script top notch, but the cast are great too. You're SO very much better than most of the so called commercial TV that I see. I am looking forward to seeing more or your excellent work.

Nicely done. Congratulations on another successful episode.

Wow! I am truly amazed by what you did here. This is a wonderful story keeping with the best traditions of the Star Trek saga. Once again you presented a wonderful story that has depth and substance. You touched our hearts. The production was amazing. The sets are incredible. Let me share a thought with you. Gene Roddenberry was ahead of his time. Much in the same way George Lucas was with his creation. My thought is this. Star Trek TOS lasted for three years. You know the behind-the-scenes story better than I do. The last season was lacking, in some stories, due to management, as you know. Later, Star Trek TNG came around. That franchise prospered due to many reasons. They managed to create 7 seasons. That is an excellent achievement. You have emulated many of them. _If TOS had been produced by Avalon I have no doubt Star Trek would have had at least ten seasons._ I mean that sincerely. You are on a bold adventure! I hope that you continue to grow as you have in a relatively short time. Whatever your formula is: keep it! Don't compromise your standards, your creativity and your vision! If I were a very wealthy man I would support you! But, alas, I am approaching my seventh decade! I live an a slim income! (Sorry). Keep using the writing devices that Gene created to advance great stories: time shifts, the transporter, and all the others! Keep the style of telling a story AND edifying us. Unfortunately Hollywood is forgetting that. They think that merely entertaining is enough. It isn't. Study Serling and Joseph de Stefano of Outer Limits fame. They had great writing formulas! Treating the classics is always a sure bet! Thank you again! As Darth Vader would say: "Impressive".

This was fantastic !! Well done !! The cast was phenomenal !! The special effects a 10 + !!! Michael J. Fox out done himself in "Back to the Future Too?!" I love how he saves the universe and his offspring so that he can return back to 1985 again. The Academy Award should go to Michael J. Fox for this performance. "Whoopsie Daisey !! That's not M.J. Fox ?! That's another actor ??" *Sigh"* "Thank you Avalon for making this !!"

This is so great, the attention to detail is incredible and the storylines are right on Star Trek! Acting maybe a bit sketchy but the enthusiasm makes up for the shortcomings. Loved the line ‘I’ve never died before’!

I've really enjoyed all the episodes I've watched thus far, but I have to say that this...especially the end, was absolutely outstanding. And Alec Peters' cameo...awesome!

In science fiction no character has to stay dead. That keeps things interesting.

You guys really know how to make tear jerkers. What a wonderful resolution!

Very proud of how this production turned out. Great cast and crew!

Avalon Trek Crew, never met a TOS set it didn't want to make spooky af. Thank you actors who we were told had moved on to other things, for coming back!

I watched this a second time to understand the episode better and I am glad to say it makes perfect sense.

Alright...that was cool!!!!! Brought back, in a very Trek way, kudos guys!!!!

An excellent film on so many levels. Thanks for doing this.

Executive Producer package with a walk on role... oh I know what *I'M* getting for Christmas.

Wow , Fantastic. You guys hit another homerun :)

AWESOME!! I LOVE this episode! 💯😍❤️💃🕺

BRAVO.. BRAVO.. Made me tear up.. Well done, Avalon... WOW... Well done!

Extra glad added to crowd funder as I'm glad both characters live on.

This story brought me to tears. I've lost two children to miscarriage, so I understand that indescribable pain more than most. The film was simply done, yet incredibly powerful at the same time. Now, on a lighter note, I need to know a few things... First, how and when did Mason have a "subspace" wife?! Who was Franklin to Archer? And now that they're four years in the future (convenient but useful trope to bring back dead characters), what ship will they end up on? Will it be the Excalibur and will they keep her intact more than Ramirez did (no offense, Lance!)? Will we get to learn where Ramirez and Beck are now? And it's interesting that you've included Garth in this in your universe, this must be sometime before he went cuckoo and ended up on that prison planet... if, in the Avalon universe, he ever did. I knew it would be some kind of bubble universe they were in, but I love how you made the place subspace itself, with time, space, energy, and thought combining to create subspace itself. I already can't wait until the next film to see some of these questions answered. Well done, Tyler, Victoria, Josh, and team.

Literary the best remake of Marty McFly back to the future

A wonderful story filled with mystery and suspense.

You guys brought me to tears. Thank you!!

I'm glad they brought back Mason. I thought he was an interesting character.

Now I feel better seeing Mason alive again. That’s the great thing about Star Trek. You can make anything happen. LOL! I never died before. Yes ya did and now time has made you alive again. Yahooo!

O.O Actual story telling ? Nicely Done .

I tell people all the time... This, is how real Star Trek is supposed to be. Congratulations.. Great story, and acting !!!!

The was so amazingly wonderful hit the heart and soul like a 10 ton brick. The actors doing the actors truely brought each one to life. Felt like I was interacting with each one them. This one truely made me cry couldn’t stop crying For an hour. The Special effects where out standing couldn’t get enough of this episode I have watched it at least 20 times so far. And each time I watch it I can never stop crying. Great job to all the people behind the camera and it front of it you all where outstanding and excellent my hats off to you all what an incredible job well done can’t wait to see what ya have in store for us again. God bless you all, take care, stay safe , and be excellent to each other. Theirs to much negativity out their in the world. And time is to short to waste. Love you all greatly tel next. Live Long and Prosper.

Ace video , thanks for keeping the dream alive

Excited to see this film.

That was truly amazing! Real TOS style!! Thank you for bringing those characters back in true Star Trek fashion!

Yet again , another brilliantly play out episode, well done , rapidly becoming my favourite Star Trek

Wow this film did not disappoint.

Nice story twist there... At end I almost expected the Captain to say; “I. Live!...”

Another well done, thought provoking episode...bravo!!

This was just downright excellent! The production value, the story, depth in such a short episode. Everything about this is just wonderful! Thank you!

Dang Avalon. You guys did a bang up job here. I hold you in the same respect as I do Continues. You guys are doing a fantastic job

I really enjoy Avalon so I lit a joint and started watching. Half way thru, mary jane kicked in, and I had to re watch this like 5 times to understand what the heck everyone was talking about. But it's actually a great little story. Please keep the vids coming!

glad to see mayson back! verry touching

well done, in the spirit of TOS and TNG, even DS9... i didn't follow later series, as i did not have cable TV at the time (still don't)... Cheers!

This video changed my life.

Mason's back ? yeah ! Ramirez just isn't the same - and a Mason/Archer teamup with Garth of Izar . Nice ! I hope he gets *his* ship back

I haven’t even watched it yet but gave it a thumbs up. 😁. I know it will be good!

This is great! Good job, everybody!

These remind me of the sets Vic, Todd and the crew used for Star Trek Continues.

I am so pleased! Totally didn't see this moment happening. Thank you for the smile on my face.

Oh wow. How exciting. Arthur Derek Mason is BACK!!!

One if the best short Star Trek short video I have watched in a long time. Keep up the good work. I thank you!

Ahhhh so good! It’s so awesome to see this finally!!! 💫✨💫

Awesome work everyone.

MASON RETURNS!!!!!!! THANK YOU 2,000,000 TIMES!!!!

Great to see them back!

Loved it, can't wait for the next one. Good stuff!

Rocking the Micheal J. Fox vibe. Anyone else feel it?

Well done!

So nice i watched it thrice! I did not think you could do it but dang this was expertly done.

Great job! Welcome back. :)

Damn fine show hats off to everyone involved.

Excellent work

Great episode. If i hadn't been watching Trekyards i wouldn't have known that this video had been posted, and I'm a subcriber. Anyhoo, great work from all involved, anything Samuel Cockings is involved in is bound to be superior!🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖

Beautifully done!👍👍🖖🖖

This was wonderful classic trek feeling.

Another frikkin awesome short, keep it up

Glad I watched, I was beginning to Miss my favorite New Chief Engineer

Very well done! Happy to get Mason back. Don't know what you were thinking when you killed him off to begin with. But if it was to bring him back like this, I'll take it (although I think there's more to it in real life). Such great acting. I teared up a bit during the dead children scenes. Oh, and that guest cameo... where does he get the time? So prolific.

Awwwww riiiiight! He's back!

I AM A MASONITE!!!!!

Wonderfully acted and produced. Also Saladin Class (Saladin herself) and an Intrepid Type 1/2 saucer? Cockings has outdone himself.

JUST PLAIN GOOD!

The guy is a near perfect double for Michael J. Fox. Amazing!

why are you always kickin me in the feels?

If the soap operas can do it, so can Star Trek

Yet another belter! Keep it up 👍

That Tyler Dunivan is a very handsome and talented actor!

well done good sequal to the story

Now that was a fine episode!
