E X E T E R F A Q : -The actors are amateurs doing it out of love, so cut them some slack -There IS a volume drop problem with Act One, but there's no way to fix it on KZfaq -The film was shot in 2004 but the post-production got dragged out for years because people were working on it in their free time and have-ya know-lives -The Exeter is NCC-1706 as it was in the Star Fleet Technical Manual; the TOS remastered number was applied five years after we released our first episode in 2002 ("The Savage Empire") -Our sets were custom built at Austin Studios and have no connection to other fanfilm series (though we donated the bridge to other productions), and shot next door to the Mike Judge film "Idiocracy" -This is the same Exeter seen in "The Omega Glory", hence the lizard's line "You command the unwanted starship filled with the ghosts of a dead crew." -The rectangular badges are based on those seen on the Exeter crew in "The Omega Glory" -Our Captain Garrovick is the nephew of the deceased Captain Garrovick and cousin to Lt. Garrovick from "Obsession" -There won't be any more episodes

2 MILLION VIEWS! Honestly, we never expected this little labor of love would still be getting watched 9 years after the whole thing was finally completed, and 19 years after it was originally filmed. Thanks to those who understand that making something like this, largely with amateurs and enthusiasts, is tough. To the rest: thanks for watching-even if you didn't like it. And to those who feel the need to make mean and belittling comments, consider the mantra from Everything Everywhere All At Once: Be Kind.

I am amazed at how accurately the producers recreated the look and feel of the original show. Excellent.

I liked the 1960s Star Trek. It was fun, creative, stylish. Glad to see others feel the same.

No one can question the spirit or effort. Feels like a fresh old memory.

Who would write a nasty comment about this? It's a tremendous achievement. Producing a show like this is a MONUMENTAL task. That's why television shows cost so much You all did a fantastic job! Bravo to you all!

The passion that went into making this look authentic is incredible. Very, very cool.

Well done crew, this is like stumbling across a lost episode that you never knew existed.

I've been a Trekkie for over fifty years, and considering what it must have taken to create this, I must say bravo, well done my friends.

Wow. I just discovered this 19 August 2022. What a wonderful Labor of Love. Kudos to each and every one involved.

I didn't know what to expect but this was very nicely done. Back in the 60s this would have been the perfect spinoff of the original series.

Despite all the cruel comments and sarcasm I really enjoyed this ver of Star Trek. People tend to compare the acting lights & sounds to the original Star Trek which is natural. Great job everyone job well done . I hope to see more like this honoring age old & good ol days of sifi. Peace to all those that have truly gone on ahead on a new journey. ❤️❤️ It!

This is very well done. Wish there were more episodes than the few made. Good casting and acting.

This is one of the best fan film episodes ever. I would swear it was made during the original run of Star Trek.

A wonderful tribute to a quintessential sci fi classic. Well done. I enjoyed it.

don't listen to the haters, they're jealous. you made a great show in a classic style🖖

All that was missing was my Dad yelling at me to adjust the color and " get the hell out of the way". Thank you for reliving some old memories.

This looks like it was made in the 1960's. Well done!

My compliments and sincere admiration to all the people involved in this production! The passion and love for the original Star Trek show are evident. The sets are beyond amazing in detail. Is the acting perfect? Well, maybe not, but then I've watched a number of these fan made episodes, while I've avoided almost all of the "professionally made" Star Trek material since Voyager ended. I find these far more superior and enjoyable. Many thanks to those who put all of the time, effort, and energy into these fan productions! Your devotion to the Star Trek universe always leaves me appreciative and a little emotional.

I can’t believe that this is 20yrs old, and I am now just hearing about it, and seeing it for the first time! WOW, what a GREAT PIECE of Star Trek fanfare work! Major Stars & Flowers to EVERYONE who worked on this Gem….i just so sorry that this is the one and only episode you’ll ever do. 🤩👏🏼👍🏼❤️🖖🏼

Wow. I am sitting here in slack-jawed amazement at how good this is. Very impressed with the effort put into it. Excellent work!

I'd like to see more from this crew. It had that 60s Trek look and acting style. This was really cool. Nice job to the cast and crew.

They did a great job of making this look cohesive with the original star trek.

I saw the original series in 1966. If this episode, The Tressaurian Intersection, had been aired as a regular episode in the 1966-67 season, it would have fit right in. We would have thought 'that was a good one', and 'what great writing and special effects'.

I am surprised and delighted you tube sent this my way. I was hopeful at the start that it wasn't some spoof or comic sarcasm of the original. I completely enjoyed the show. Many thank you s to all involved. Ps I watched the original shows each week in the '60's. theywere good memories.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Gene Roddenberry would be pleased. I can think of no higher praise! I'm 63 years old now, and I watched Star Trek (before it was ever referred to as "TOS" - and before it went into reruns) as a grade-school kid in the 1960s. I feel that I just watched my first new TOS episode in over a half-century, and it ranks up there with my favorite episodes (e.g., The Enterprise Incident, the Doomsday Machine, and the Changeling). Thank you!!!

Well done. Outstanding production. The story pays homage and parallels Gene Roddenberry's vision of Star Trek perfectly.

This after all these years holds up beautifully. Wish there could have been more episodes...

I am not quite sure what to make of this program, but I admire the attention to TOS detail and the efforts of these actors. A far more enjoyable Star Trek experience than any of the latest stuff.

Still holds up well even in 2021. In a just universe, this would be the start of a TV series.

I thought they actually did a great job here with the sets and costumes. Even the Andorian has the antennae at the rear of the skull as in the original series. Sure, the actors are not top caliber, but they did well considering its a fan based show.

2023 August. This just popped up on my feed. It was really good. Enjoed it much. Will share with my Star Trek friend. 💯

You captured the look, feel, and spirit of the original. Thanks from an old fan who grew up with TOS!

I liked how Exeter got its own fanfare and theme music... which still managed to sound like Star Trek.

I'm a treky from the beginning felt like 1969 again! I'm 65. Freakin awesome show!!! Thank you!

Im a true Trekky growing up when the FIRST original series was on - how come i missed this? Its BRILLIANT! 😊👏👏🖖

This was one of the best Star Trek films I've seen. Well done everybody!!!

For a fan based production I have to say I'm rather impressed with the set, script, and the construction of the show. Well done.

Best fan film ever! Acting, Special effects, Plot, and Theme

Who do I beg for more episodes? It wasn’t perfect but it captured the spirit of Trek and isn’t that the most important thing? Definitely need more episodes. After all, practice makes perfect!

Even the directing and shot selection are authentic to the original series! Well done!

I think the acting is delightful. People should take a chill pill as well as delight in the great feat of emulation and homage achieved here. Outstanding in all regards.

Great sets, that really look like the 60 tv show . Nice effects and good acting . A very good film.

I liked the call backs to the Tholians and the race related to the Gorn. It’s really good considering it’s a fan project and I enjoyed it…wish there were more episodes. Regardless of what you think about the acting, they did an excellent job of replicating the sets, costumes, and special effects of the original.

I love this! In the old iconic style of the original series!🥰😃👍✨💖✨

This is your father's Star Trek, real Star Trek! CBS should fire Kurtzman and hire these guys. All my respect to the cast & production crew.

Ok this is amazing, perfect actually. Love the extra comedy and poking fun at the original series. All the while making the set, script, effects and acting all true to the original. An absolute masterpiece.

Sorry, I had to comment again. This movie is EXCELLENT. You guys should be proud.

Impressive. It's odd that I can't watch the broadcast TV Star Trek later series, like Next Generation, but episodes like this, set in the same era as TOS, are most enjoyable. Maybe because I can imagine that somewhere, Kirk and crew are still out there.

I really enjoyed this. This is true Star Trek. I am glad they chose to not have the setting on Enterprise. A new ship and new characters are very welcome.

God I love the feel of original Trek. Well done!

I've been a TOS fan since I saw the pilot episode the very first time it aired. My thanks to the people that wrote and produced this. You've done well.

To those of you who have criticisms.... You're not even 1% as much a Trekkie as these folks! LOVE to see the things like this that TRUE Trekkies come up with!! APPLAUSE!

As an older person who watched the original Star Trek as a kid, I really enjoyed this. It was truly reminiscent of an older style late 60's show. I just recently retired and now have lots more time to check out youtube stuff. I'm glad I ran across this!

My thanks to everyone in the crew and cast for putting in all the hard time and effort ( Not to mention expense.) to bring us an extremely entertaining story

A genuinely good ST story. What I really admire about this is that not one of the characters is merely an analog to an original ST series chr. They are distinct. I think that's a hard thing to do for a Star Trek fan.

If the title and the name of the ship were changed, and the actors replaced by the Star Trek actors, this film would be indistinguishable from the TV series. This is a very impressive accomplishment. Well done.

I had seen the other pro quality fan series a while back, but somehow, this one slipped through the cracks, until today. Exeter is very well done. I enjoy the fact that it is set "beside" the adventures of the Enterprise, not "in place" of. These are new characters, and that makes it for me. Since it has been 3 years, and now with CBS new policies, I doubt we will see more episodes. I would much rather see episodes of Exeter, than Discovery.

Amazing effort, I dont understand why there are several negative comments here. This is an incredibly well made fan film. ❤

Oh Vandi, you came and you gave without taking, and we'll miss you today, Oh Vandi! 😢

Filmed 2004, released 2014, recommended by the algorithm 2022.

Like or hate the show, racial, sexist, and other derogatory comments will be deleted immediately and the posters banned from the channel. Your opinion on the work is welcome, but vulgar or defamatory comments about people and groups are not.

This stuff is better than anything Star Trek stuff the professionals are putting out. It has the look and fell of the original series. I’d rather watch this than the stuff Hollywood is putting out

Impressive for a fan film. It was almost the same quality as the original series. What was the budget?

I believe that Exeter is a truly fine piece of work which is a joy to experience. The writer was not afraid to make their characters fallible but also allow them the dignity of maturity. My perspective is as a long-time Games-master of ICE Spacemaster, the Star Wars D6 RPG, and Cyberpunk 2020 roll-playing games.

This was increadably well done. It holds perfectly to the atmosphere of TOS.

This super campy but it captures the essence of the original series .... loved it

I served on the USS Exeter, 86 - 89. Not my finest hour as I was relegated to script edits and camera battery checks. However, the port calls in the Omega 6 and Pinto galaxies were amazing.

That is exactly what I have been looking for for years. I didn't know a sizzle reel existed at that length and I wondered back at the time why the real StarkTrek Original Series actors didn't join the series! Seriously, that is a great work of art.

I thought that this was one of the best, if not the best, of the fan based Star Trek films I've ever seen. Wonderfull work!

Loved all the sounds too!

Wow! This is the first I’m seeing this in 2022. I love the franchise, but must admit I’ve never been inclined to participate in this kind of enthusiastic fan-love. But I sure do appreciate that someone put the effort into something this great, made with so much love and respect. Great work!

I remember a long time ago when I could only find snippets of this incredible episode that I had to play in a little media player. I'm talking at least 12-13 years ago. Seeing it here in full is simply incredible. It has heart, action, science, acting chops, great camera work (inside the shuttle was especially good), superb sound effects... I can't say enough good things. I'm sure everyone involved has moved on to new things, but let it be said that all of you have created one of the greatest Star Trek episodes of all time. It's actually not even an episode. It's a movie. Thanks so much.

I have read the many negative comments below but I must say this is the closest return to the original star trek at one millionth of the budget with unknown actors,how so many have been seduced by the CGI and hollyweird rubbish pushed out today amazes me..I may be a grey beard but my voice still stands look at the sets and original acting when Kirk first took out the first Enterprise where no man had gone before ....hello from Australia

The theme song was surprisingly well done!

One of the best amateur Trek stories I've seen. Great teaser and even better climax. Well done!

This is a FAN MADE FILM, but it has the look of a professional Hollywood Production, so remember that when judging it. These folks showed the proper RESPECT to the source material of original Start Trek, and did it all on their own time & on their own dime. As far as I am concerned this was a lost episode that never aired on TV. All my respect to the Cast & Crew.

These independent fan shows are so much better than the trash on Paramount +

This production was better than SNW and ST Discovery . It captured the TOS feel. The big boys could learn a lot by getting back to the basics.

Theres something wonderful about OG Trek's sound effects & music score. It always makes me happy, from a phaser barrage to McCoy's tricorder. Timeless.

Thank you for a drink of nostalgia.

Absolutely first class. It’s like watching one of the original series, and just as good, if not better. Thank you so much

simply outstanding! the theme held strong to the overall premise of star trek. great special effects, sets, and costumes, too. wish you could produce more as this was a quality effort and much appreciated. thank you!!

Having participated in many small privately funded productions I can clearly see the effort put forth from every aspect of this episode, I am impressed, this is not an easy task coming on the heals of the Original Star Trek... I am a very big fan of Star Trek Continues where the Talent of the production is PERFECTION.

The sets were great. How did I not stubble upon this before?

This is almost on the same level as Star Trek Continues

Well made and very enjoyable. There have been a few negative comments about the acting, but in my honest opinion, I think that they did well. It's not every day that a person gets the chance to engage in a very realistic revitalization of Star Trek TOS in their own way and perception. The sets, sound effects and music score were well done and in the right places. I saw no errors in the acting and the character movements. Everything seemed like it should be and as one would expect from a Star Trek TOS episode as it was done in the 1960's. Please continue to make more, I would be interested in what you all cam come up with next. I wish I could join you.

I lucked out finding this film. WELL MADE! Reminds me of the inspiring original series that ran in the 1960's.

What a great homage to the original series, while offering something new. This is by far better than any new Trek on offer here in 2022. Looks like it was made with a lot of love and respect to the original.

This is exactly what I want from a new Star Trek series: something with new stories and new characters that still looks and sounds exactly like it was made in the late 1960s. For me this is mental comfort food. Thank you.

Holy shit… I’d almost given up on finding anything I could enjoy in the world of Star Trek Fan Films. But this is just, insanely good. I’m blown away.

I can't believe this is not the sixties 😮 great work. WOW Seems like exactly what I believe you shot it to be. Perfect acting, mannerisms etc. You guys are great.

This was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !! As a staunch TOS purist , I give it 5 out of 5 Photon Torpedoes ! I'm an OG , and I even teared up at the end there . There is never a lack of Federation Heroes ! Thanks for this amazing effort !!

Really impressive attention to details. Props, costumes, sets, VFX, SFX, incidental music, even the fonts used in the titling. All very good. I feel some others here below have been somewhat unkind about the acting, I found it generally competent and the plot seemed entirely consistent with many of those from the initial 2 seasons of Star Trek. Overall, I applaud what I consider a very worthy effort.

"They will be just as dead in person..." That's one thing that stands out to me, when I first heard about this effort back when I was still in the Navy, watching the segments [and impatiently waiting to see the next part] as well as watching the completed episode: You folks had took the effort to NOT be NCC-1701's crew on that particular 5-year mission. Yes, the acting was hammy AF (rapidly approaching cringe, but good cringe!) but it was done well enough that one could believe that was actually happening on NCC-1706 (meanwhile, In Mayberry...)... I think people should appreciate THAT above all else, when viewing any of the fandoms made back then...

What a fantastic reproduction of the original star trek series. I am amazed at the quality and special effects. Spot on and well done !!!

This was one of the earliest fan attempts using truly realistic sets, and you can tell it was a labor of love. I loved the opening title theme and the music cues. They are wonderful!

I absolutely loved it, so close to the originals it's scary!

A much better episode than anything put out of the once great Star Trek franchise since Deep Space Nine. Well done!

Swell job! I wish my mom was still alive to see this, she was a major fan of StarTrek.
