This film is a genuine fan effort. For the most part, the people who appear in this film are Star Trek fans, and not professional actors. They participated in the project for the love of Star Trek. As such, unnecessarily rude comments about "Bad Acting" will be automatically deleted. Thank you!

Probably the most wanted and best prequel concept to a TOS episode ever. Bravo.

Excellent!! A first class prequel to the original The Doomsday Machine!! 🚀

Doomsday machine vs Borg cubes….now that would be a great showdown.

Everyone was great in this but the science officer was superb , he could be in a star trek show....Natural actor

This was an awesome production by fans who did a bloody good job of acting. It was much condensed for reasons that are obvious, but it represents hours of combat of the Constellation against the Doomsday Machine. This is the stuff my siblings and our gang in the neighborhood dreamed about.

Excellent Storytelling Behind 1 of The Greatest Episodes of the Original Star Trek Series!! Take Care, Stay Safe, & Continue to Live Long & Prosper.

The last moments of the brave crew of the USS Constellation, finally told. They and their commander did not die in vain - without their sacrifice, Kirk and the USS Enterprise would never have been able to stop the planet killer.

Excellent job! It's really neat to see those moments that lead up to the nightmare situation that Decker had to face, knowing his crew was damned. That moment when he had to explain that to Kirk and McCoy in the original was one of the most emotional and dark moments of the original series. Nice tie in to that in the end of this. Very well done all!

Clever story, filling the gap from the original series. Well done!

I really like the attention to detail you all gave on this... the set, the cinematic style, costumes, but especially continuity. Just very well done 🖖

Very well done prequel minisode for The Doomsday Machine. Thank you, Avalon Fan Films. 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿

To the Captain, officers and crew of the U.S.S. CONSTELLATION NCC-1017…….rest in peace, your sacrifice to the United Federation of Planets and all life forms will never be forgotten.🖖🖖

Nice... a view into the world of the constellation to show what happened to it before the Enterprise arrived and found her adrift as they did in the episode the Doomsday Machine Doomsday Machine is still my favorite episode from the original series this is fantastic work

I always felt that this was a two-part story, and we only viewed the second part, Thank you to the cast and crew for completing the story! LLAP!

Great story, good job people, Masada really rocked the science station. Hats off for an all around enjoyable film. Thank you.

Fantastic job! Sets looked right (even the Jeffries Tube got a shot). Star Trek still has miles of stories, but only the fans know how to write them.

Thank you. This gave the ship and crew the story they deserved.

That was damn good. I was disappointed when it ended. 🤩

Well done to Joshua Michael Irwin and Ray Tesi on an excellent fan film. The cast was great and the character of Decker was well played. Every Captain has second thoughts of whether or not they did the right thing.

It's always sad watching a story when you know how it has to end. Well done. Very faithful to the episode.

Wow, Matt Decker's loss finally visualized for us. I'd probably go crazy too. That's a great tie in!

Stunning work everyone

Ten out of ten. Well done indeed!

This gives you an appreciation of how tough Constitution class ships were.

AWESOME.. AWESOME.. AWESOME. This has to be my favorite "Tales" yet!.. Script was just stellar.. LOVED how the writer incorporated so many aspects from the "Doomsday Machine" into the action. Everything flowed. Acting was excellent. The actor who played Commodore Decker and Science Officer Masada were just so ON TARGET it was mind blowing. We never saw Masada on the original show, but that actor brought him to life. Decker was again, just so ON IT!.. GREAT CHOICE in casting, line delivery, emotion, great direction, and the shots were just so TREK that it made me speechless while watching. I could have just written AWESOME like 50 times on this review and it'd be fitting. GREAT work TALES and AVALON TEAM!

Very well done! Everything about this was excellent. One of the most enjoyable fan films in a long time.

A great prequel to "The Doomsday Machine"!

Incredible job with this prequel to the Doomsday Machine.

"Decker to bridge!" "Ah... dude... afraid it ain't there no more."

Congratulations to you all bringing it together and getting it released for us to enjoy which I do, great job by all

Thanks for a great addition to my favorite Star Trek Episode period.

This is awesome. Incredible ,,,,great job,,,,

Finally, the prequel to one of my very favorite Star Trek episodes. Thank you!

Glad someone did this! Was with a group working on then when the Axanar thing blew up and it shut down. Well done y'all.

That caught me, I cried for the crew on board and planet side. Tales from the Neutral Zone: Doomsday is an amazing slice a TOS

Well done...I enjoyed the story of the last hours of the Constellation's crew.

Doing something like this must of been a awesome effort to pull it off. This is way better than the soap opera loaded super hero shows they have on the CW. This is a proper throw back to classic real science fiction. Classic science fiction is a whole lot better than so called "Modern Science Fiction. Imagine what they could do if they had a million dollar budget.

Great job everyone!

Thank you for the story never told. You are true Star Trek creators and fans!

Very nice job, you could feel the desperation of the situation. Nice touch with the end adding the arrival of Kirk and the Enterprise.

Thank you Josh for your amazing help in making this happen

I'd like to thank the people who made this. Supreme effort and done for the love of Trek with no profit involved. I say 8:13 was the stand-out moment and the actors played it magnificently. In their final scene, I cared more about the science officer and Natalie than anyone on DISCOVERY over several seasons. Thanks for posting this!

The things that make a man, can still break a man. Thanks for bringing this story forward. 🖖

I would have named it, 'Day Before Doomsday". Excellent job!

Well done crew!

Thank You for providing a big piece of information and story line that was always missing from the doomsday episode. I always felt that this should have been a two part episode explaining the loss of the U.S.S Constitution and her crew.

This is great thanks so much for posting this. The Dooms Day Machine is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes it's cool that some one showed us what must have transpired on the USS Constellation during their encounter with the planet killer. Well done.

Great job congrats to all who work on it

Great concept. Excellent effort. Thanks for your hard work...!!!

excellent choice to tell this part of the story.

Great work! A really good job telling this story of what actually happened.

The amount of work that goes into something like this is significant. It was highly entertaining. My favorite character was the excitable helmsman--because you can feel she was giving the performance her full effort. Great job on giving the print a slightly washed-out television feel.

Doomsday was one of my favorite episodes. This was a welcomed prequel to that episode. I also enjoyed the acting. Thank you .

Well done. Ya’ll kept to the story and made it real. Keep it up!!!

well done and thanks for the hard work. I quite enjoyed the show.

I thoroughly enjoyed this backstory to the Doomsday machine.

So exciting!

Very well done. Thank you

Very nicely done and a good nod to a great episode of Star Trek.

Great video that brings to life the events that lead up to the classic Doomsday Episode!!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you for filling in the blanks. "The Doomsday Machine" was always my favorite TOS episode, and your prequel fits seamlessly, in my view. Keep up the good work 👏.

Awesome prequel to The Doomsday Machine. Well done Neutral Zone!

Kinda amazing prelude to the TOS Doomsday Device Episode!

Well done!!!!!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

well this definitely filled in gaps.

OK, watching the navigator turn and look back at the captain just like Sulu did in so many re-used shots was awesome. Nice touch!

This honored one of THE best episodes of The Original Series. Good job by all involved. I don't recall other attempts to tell this specific story before. A quite plausible interpretation. Soundtrack was seriously put to good effect. A nice gift for First Contact Day.

Most excellent pre-call

Hi jut watched your stream great job love all the smoke 😊😊

TDM I’d my favorite TOS episode. You did honor to the series and the story line.

Great Prequel to "The Doomsday Machine"!

RIP crew of the Constellation. Sad but powerful story.

Very cool! I enjoyed this, and am glad this was told!

Nice job. Luis was great as Masada.

I would LOVE to be in one of these. I like it!!

Love and support from Finland.

This was superb! It's about time this half of the story was told.

So excited!

Great job!

Holy Moley! A prequel to one of my favorite episodes. Outstanding attention to detail! Well done!! This video is going in my Season Two folder !

It’s all good, it’s Star Trek.

I've been binging this stuff for the last few hours and to be honest, with the budget you have this shit is amazing!

🖖😎👍Very cool and very well done and very nicely executed in every detail way shape and form possibly provided indeed!,👌.

So, prequel to Doomsday Machine? Nice.;-)

Absolutely excellent!

This crew is better than than anyone on Discovery

Great acting and episode!!

Really well done. Hats off.

You nerds did a great job ....

You know, it's funny (in a sort of way), that the USS Constellation, wrecked as she was, STILL had functioning artificial gravity. Everything else was offline.

That was friggin rad thank you for making this!

'its miles long'. Then readout states 2700 meters which is not even 2 miles.

I always felt like the episode doomsday machine was like walking in the middle of a movie, it's good to finally see the first half.

Can't imagine what the crew was seeing in the sky during the final moments. Probably similar to the scene in Rogue One, only WORSE...

Good stuff folks, definitely enjoyed this! :)

Well thought out and done well

Very well done.

That was beyond exquisite!

Just come across this. It's a breathe of fresh air. The thing is somthing we'll never know about, but we should know. Nicely done.
