I loved it...Picard in the 'uninvited guests facility'. These fan films have great senses of humor and adventure.

I like this...….For you haters......don't dislike something you cant do better yourself. These folk spent time bringing something great. Hats off to you I am loving this.

At Last A Scottish Star Trek! Well Done lads! The Capt. Picard Character was well played too!

Hi Nancy and thanks. Overall, it took about a year to film, though we shot all Giles' scenes and the exteriors over a single 3 day weekend. Post production took a few years, and was mainly held up by the need to replace a lot of the dialogue due to sound problems. Giles wasn't a stunt double for Mr Stewart, but does work as an impersonator.

Great job everyone. The Picard character was outstanding.

Thank you, it's always nice to hear someone enjoys what we're doing. Alas, no comments from Sir Patrick yet yet. ;) As to the other comments, I suspect he or she was just trying to be funny, but the admin has deleted it anyway. Basic rule, if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, it's probably not a good idea to say it online. :)

Thanks, we have fun doing it. We're glad some people enjoy watching. :)

That was a real good Capt. Picard. Nice job.

Intrepid and Voyager! Still the two prettiest ships in the fleet!

And the best part is, the actor portraying Picard in this portrayed him in the Trek XXX Parody too. #funfacts

Holy Poop! Great Patrick Stewert look-a-like!! :)

i really enjoyed this version....thanks for sharing and doing it....love the guy who places Picard....awesome lookalike.....love the music as well as the story line....HIGH 5 to all on this one and especially to the one called Picard....yaaaahhhhh Patrick Stewart has a stand-in....my hats off to you...great acting....hard to play characters which have stood the test of time and seasons.....love it....thank you for doing this....thanks to all for doing a great segment...again HIGH 5....would love to see more of this

"Set phasers tae malky"🤣seriously though. Well done 👏

Thank you laviliterthefirst. We're not up to that standard yet by a long shot but we're working to improve. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks again. :)

Another great installment of Intrepid! Keep up the great work!

Great theme music. Particularly the end credits.

Thanks ilttpvvm! I have to agree, I think this is one area where we really did match up to the 'real deal'. Dylan Feeney simply knocked it out of the park on that theme. I love it!

Awesome production!!! Keep them coming.

I enjoyed this episode and I'll add my "Nice Picard" to everyone else's chorus. I especially liked the follow up on the T'Bruin (sp?) from "Transitions and Lamentations." And the reveal reminded me of the the type of story element from TNG's "The Chase" with a more narrow focus, which I liked! As a constructive critique, I think the Picard/Hunter dislike was resolved a little abruptly, even if the way it was done was very Picard-like and his reasoning was appropriate. It just seemed to come out of the blue. I know the ep is only 30 minutes but it would have been nice to see Picard struggle with that realization a bit before he spoke with Hunter about it. The filming and the look of the sets is better this episode. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Transitions and Lamentation is still my fave but keep going, Nick and crew! This is a wonderful corner of the Star Trek universe and it deserves more delving into!

I enjoyed this very much!

Thanks for sticking with us KC. Hopefully we'll continue to improve.

Really great job! Thanks!

Good job Nick and gang! You guys have come a very long way in film making from your early efforts I look forward to what you are cooking up next!

The shop designs are amazingly accurate and well researched on the Romulan Bird of prey and the Federation Intrepid class star ships.

i kinda recognize the actor playing picard. well he also played picard in a, different kinda star trek "fandom" film. i give'm props though for being a real decent look alike playing the role. in both projects.

God, I do live this series! Another great episode! WOW!

As fan films go, I rather enjoyed this one. Great effort, thank you!

Your lighting camera work and sound are true Trek!

Kudos...this is by far one of the better Fan attempts. You have folks that can act, and you have writers that can write....which is far more than I can say for most other endeavors I have thus far seen.

I loved it. Great work.

Very much looking forward to seeing this tomorrow.

Awesome episode, you guys! Great job....regards, Daniel

Great work love it

I did love this as much as the other episodes.

I saw this Captain on Odessy Now he has his own staring role.... pretty KOOL,,, very nice. I like the fan films put out by the New Frontier productions. And they picked a good look alike for Picard

Brilliant Nick! 😊xx

fantastic guys great show by all intrepid crew

Great stuff from the Intrepid crew again. Can't wait for the next one. :)

can I just say, that the guy you have playing Picard is so much like the real one.

Just been watching on Mac's World! Now I'm subscribed! Amazing content and filming, editing, appreciate all Luv&Peace Cheers from Sask Canada!

Really really good!!!!!

Well done guys - great to see the finished result!

When I 1st watched this last year I loved it (still do)! Good acting (great Picard), wonderful series theme music (I play it often). I was excited for new episodes, then the full realization of the Axanar lawsuit hit me. No, there won't be any new episodes. Dam Dam Dam!!!

Love to see such passionate community projects!

This i thought was pretty good thank you for the show!

Thank you!

Thank you, Ron! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Just found this channel. Where have you been hiding??? Loving these vids. Well done all!

Nice job, people! More than the improvements in the areas of effects, acting and direction in general, I have found myself quite invested in the fates of these characters. Bravos all around and continued success, with gratitude for keeping Trek alive! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode,

Thanks Al.

The similarity with Patrick Stewart is incredible

Great script, great acting and I can’t tell which sets are real and which green screen. And great Picard, of course!

Hi Danielle, other than some freelance work a few years back, my CG skills are purely self-taught and my renders a labor of love. I use Lightwave 3D in conjunction with Adobe's After Effects to achieve ship flybys, space combat scenes, close ups etc... Thank you for your kind words too. :-)

well done!

Yeah we enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Fantastic stuff :)

Thanks Ric, and thanks for your help on this. :)

Impressed

Awesome seems to small of a word for this Bloody Awesome job. Well done, Now give me more........

GREAT series! Love the music. Is there a soundtrack?

I usually don't watch Star Trek fan films, but Intrepid is so compelling. Thank you, Nick Cook, for helping to create such a fine addition to the saga. But I was just wondering, Mr. Cook, if you have ever heard from Patrick Stewart about "The Stone Unturned"? And I was also wondering, Mr. Cook, if you have ever thought about finding SantomPh and punching him out for insulting your wife (I happen to think she is quite lovely, if you don't mind my saying so, sir).

Thanks Dave. :)

Good job

It's very thoughtful of you to ask. Marie was Alan Johnston's partner.

Thank you. :)

Hey great job Nick to all and you! How long did it take to make this film from start to finish? The enhanced special effects? Was Giles (as Picard) the stunt double for Patrick Stewart?

Thanks Gary. :)

Thanks, Rob. :)

It is weird watching something that is not in 1080P lol but its good

Hello, Mr. Cook. I believe I may owe you an apology--because, of all the times I have watched "The Stone Unturned," I never once thought to ask about the dedication at the beginning. Certainly, the production of a good episode is important; but the memory of a fallen (friend, I assume) is more so. However, if you would rather not speak of it, then perhaps it was improper of me to ask. In any case, my apologies and condolences.

Hi Danielle, Through an awful lot of volunteer work. People love Star Trek, and just want to help out. We're very lucky. And yes, much of it was greenscreen. Thanks for watching, and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. :)

There should be more scottish vulcans...

I liked introduction the music and graphics were different compared most fan productions

great job as always, you can't keep a good captain down!

Thanks Mage. :)

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this! The Picard doppelganger might be a way to circumvent CBS's stronghold on fan films! :-)

Checked and that is quite close!

Nice

Hello, Mr. Cook. If you and Lucie don't know about it yet, you have got to check out "Star Trek Continues" the next time you are on KZfaq. It's a fan production that continues the adventures of Kirk and company during their original five-year mission. I mean, the writing is so sharp, the acting so compelling, the sets so detailed that you will feel like you are watching a newly discovered lost episode--believe me, you won't regret it (don't worry, I'll still watch Intrepid as often as I can).

1:38 Holy shit. That guy is the spitting image of you-know-who. Wouldn't be surprised it it's a long-lost brother or something.

Hello, Mr. Cook. Just thought that you would like to know that, when I think of great Star Trek theme music, I more often than not think of the theme from Intrepid. In fact, I often hum it to myself or whistle it out loud.

Sadly we haven't been yet. It is on or to do list though. We planned to visit when we were in Upstate New York for the Blood and Fire shoot in 2007, but just couldn't make it.

Those are some serious Vulcan ears!

I can accept that people have trouble with the accents, since it's different to what we're used to seeing. But it's really no different than the majority having American accents. It's also worth noting, that the actors are not all from the same part of Scotland, they're not even all Scottish. ;) Anyway, appreciate the comments, and the views. Thanks folks. :)

Your Episodes are very cool! I Love the intro! But please make germen "CC"!

Danielle, thanks again. Jon Carling does work professionally in visual effects. Martin has done some professional work. I don't think Lee or Steve have, but I may be mistaken. We will be doing more, and hopefully at a much higher standard, production-wise. :) Thanks again. :)

Hello, Mr. Cook. Sorry that I haven't communicated for so long, but I've been so busy with family and business. I know that you and Lucie know about Star Trek Continues, but I just want to strongly encourage you to watch their second episode "Lolani" if you haven't already. It's powerful and moving, and it will leave you thinking about very important issues--just as Star Trek always has. Don't worry--even though I think that Star Trek Continues is the best webseries based on Jim Kirk's adventures, I still think that Intrepid is the best Next Generation-based web series. Thank you, and good day!

Thanks Moe. :)

Thanks. :)

I like to believe the "better angels of our nature" will prevail in the end. Hope your day has started to improve. :)

I don't use those, I did in the past, gave all sorts a try, like Bryce for landscapes, 3D Max, but I feel Lightwave gives me greater control and the UI is more intuitive to me. I did at some point have 5 PCs running a single task using Lightwaves Network Rendering tool called Screamernet, but the power consumption, heat, noise etc were too much to keep as a constant setup. In the future I might network a better setup. Render times vary depending on quality, particles and objects in the project

Well, in case Paramount really is developing such a series, I have what I think is the perfect suggestion--Intrepid with Nick and Lucie Cook and company.

Thanks, we like 'em. :)

Nice to finally see one not in TOS time.

nice captain picard

Yeah we enjoyed it. :)

It's like the entire crew is Scotty.

Just noticed the typo in Coleb's profile. He has spend instead of he has spent.

also, it's great to see more of david reid as S'Ceris.
