Fan films are my new favorite :)

This views like a video designed to teach high school students about astronomy

'What happens if we get too close to the Neutral Zone?' 'Yeesh... what do they teach at the Academy these days?'

Enjoyed it very much - looking forward to the next episode!

This was in my recommendation, just wish I had seen this when it was released. Enjoying this.

When I was serving in USS Nassau (LHA 4) we had some Midshipmen (Naval ROTC) come aboard for their 'summer training cruise.' Cadet Strong reminds me strongly of one of those 'Middies' or 'Cadets,' also a young woman both full of energy and inquisitive as all hell.

What a beautiful, totally awesome & entertaining episode!! This is what Star Trek should be!! Utterly brilliant epic episode!!

What a beautiful, wonderful, awesome & special episode!! Such a beautiful, brilliant crew, & a fantastic ship!!

Rick Cole says You got it back on line, cool, a great Trek fan film, I treasure it as one of the best Trek Episodes done

An awesome way to educate kids.

Nice use of the Star Trek setting to stimulate interest in astrophysics among students.

A Pegasus winner that didn't know anything about a black hole.

Oh nuts they cut away just when it finally got interesting. :(

Great job folks, this was a fun watch.

I loved this episode. Instead of an average story you depicted a perspective from a cadets point of view!!

And apparently on this ship, "Report to Battle Stations!!!" means "Quick, everyone crowd into the shot behind me and abandon your stations while we're at red alert!". UGH!

Then a load of hissing Gorn beam aboard the ship. Mayhem ensues!

At first I was "what the hell" but it grew on me. I would like to see more.

It's fantastic! Great!

Really enjoyed the episode

I thought calling the engineer O'Toole was eye-rolling funny.

Gees, SHE'S keen! Neb-YULA? NEBULA! Comm officer Aussie?

Thanks!

Captain Major must have been a Pegasus award winner too..

I’m glad that someone decided to come up with a story without the original crew of the TOS Star Trek. The thing that I have to say is that the acting is quite stiff. The script is too much like trying to teach science and being a show at the same time for elementary or middle school kids. Need also close up shots so that the cast doesn’t need to shout across the set too. Remember that the original show is more like a stage show, they didn’t have much of a budget, but did have ways of making a professional production.

Great job I enjoyed that

It's like a video made for a grade school science class.

From my 12-year-old: "This episode seems more like a science lesson...." #trickthemintolearning

The last minutes was the best.

Loved the AUTHENTIC uniforms.

Good teaching tool for students. 👍

love it

I liked this.

star trek chicks

Well done. Continue.

not bad still better then discovery considering budgets bet if this fan film had the budget that CBS wastes on discovery it would be awesome

Why is all of the Chief Engineers sound like Scotty, from TOS …lol very cool homage .

Um...for a brilliant young science student, she has to have some really basic stuff explained to her. But then (and I'm sorry to nitpick) an "exploding nova" is an exploding explosion by definition. Like a feline cat or some wet water or maybe granite piece of granite.

Clever names... The pilot is named Driver the Navigator is named Garmin and the engineer named O'TOOL., comm officer Bell (as in Alexander Graham) and science officer Tesla, security Justice BRIGGS....funny! I did think it was unusual for the medical doctor's opinion to be sought for a scientific mission. And a disproportionate number of women. May be from a matriarchal Federation planet? But if they want to be in Starfleet, should accept wearing the microskirt uniform! ;)

Very good a little too explaining of science, but good acting and sets. Look foward to future episodes.

this ship should be called the uss snow white

Sort of,,,, entertaining...

Some of the commenters miss the idea I caught on right away. The film is filled with a lot of educational material for younger viewers.

Well you just take the shuttle and observe and we’ll be back to get you.

Great job everybody! I throughly enjoyed that. Maybe drop Scottish accent on the engineer, but great job really!😊

this ship should be called girl talk

Thanks Scott finally got to rewatch this without the kids tugging on me ,lol. Thanks to Mr USS Valliant,I found you again.Was as great alone as with company sir .Please carry on. LLAP

A little weird they should know the star gravity will be approximately the same as a black hole. Dense object where if you get too close to the event horizon then you are in trouble. Fun stuff though.

The story is great, but the Captain is so indecisive.... spent the entire episode asking for recommendations and wasn't even sure of her own ship's capabilities. The chief science officer just kept rambling and hardly took the time to breathe. Couple of other people already mentioned it... for an award winning cadet, she didn't know what a lot of presumably basic things were. The set looked really good, the writing needs a lot of improvement, but the characters/actors were pretty good for a fan flick. Also, why were there Type-9 Shuttles in the background of that Captain the cadet hailed?

Unbelievable! After all that talk we get to an interesting part with a Klingon-- and then it ends. I don't understand all this.

"Stop Smiling " , It's Military-like, L.O.L.

now all they need is a hot tub

Not what I expected

Seems more like a Dora the Explorer episode than a star trek one, lots of educational data delivered in a cheery tone with little drama.

Educational in astronomy, pretty good acting. Should have picked different name for ship. Story just kind of cuts you off. One of the better fan made movies.

Cool! A ship with a crew majority of chicks!! SIGN ME UP!!!!

Nice and uplifting to watch, you all have clearly managed to share your love of Trek in a way others can enjoy, nice going.

Next?

this was an excellent episode can we see more?

Wow, awesome school district. OK you say....BTW chemistry/physics here.

I appreciate all these efforts to create great shows. But wish the quality was a bit better. Still wonderful and thanks

The cadet idea is interesting, but I have to point out a "failure of imagination" by the writers here. What I mean is they didn't anticipate how smart students get in the future from better education techniques and advancement. For example, in season 1 of Star Trek TNG we learn that kids as young as 10-ish are already learning CALCULUS, something that in the present day (at least in the USA) normally doesn't get taken before ages 17-18 for the most advanced students in High School. Given that, an AWARD WINNING *SCIENCE* cadet not knowing what a black hole does is just not believable AT ALL. I agree with others here, mark this as "for children" please!

nice story line! never saw one from the cadets point of view! interesting approach. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Excellent work

WOW! Star trek: The CW

the driver(pilot),the micanict and the cop have one thing in comon.

Not bad

The script needs a little twinkling. I’m glad that the story takes place on science ship instead of on the Constitution class starship.

how does you fix the on screen version of the USS Grissiom? was this one lost before what happen In TSFS?

TOS ships other than the Enterprise should not be using the Enterprises insignia. Starfleet had not adopted it until Motion picture timeframe.

Babe trek! Alright :)

Hi! I tried loading the original link for this... was it taken down?

Nice Work!!! Too bad there was not a loop hole for Non-Profit Educational Purposes. Wait there was? Would have liked it back in Elementary/Middle.

Ouch

That's à good, ship with à majority of women and à, woman capitain

Not bad for a fan flick. The set and uniforms were really good. The plot interesting and engaging. The sound system needs improving. The dialogue script was kind of ambiguous and needs rewriting. That said, I would like to see what happens next.

ok I felt I was watching Cosmos with a Star Trek theme and why if the cadet contacting SETI instead of a University (they have xenobiological related sciences) also umm. To many non-essentoal personal involved in the discussion and the Cadet was a little clueless for being an award winner (basic info clueless) and the Captain seemed seemed like she was unable to make instant decisions really even for a fanfic this was bad

+ 1 like for Cadet Strong :)

will someone tell me why the USS Valiant has the same ship number of the enterprise. If you don't believe me freeze the story at 1:42.

g willikers

Teaching program?

actually because CBS Paramount guidelines how should I put this because I am a real fan and fan base shows and CBS and Paramount has showing contempt for the fans it's all about making money for them so I say all fan base should be shut down effective immediately past present and future I love Star Trek I think starter is great but the people who own it looking at a way to make money it's like the little guy who's had a yard sale and the chain stores sins in the police to have them arrested because you're taking business away from them so you may see that doesn't happen but it does happen where the little kid who has a lemonade stand and the $0.10 eliminate in the police come and shut them down we're not a nation that expresses art we're not a nation that allows freedom we're not a nation that allows independent thinking we're just the opposite regarding everything supposed to be said we're told one thing and then that reality there's another thing out there so I say shut it all down I know a lot of you're not going to agree with me or going to be mad but fine that's just my opinion so I messaged Paramount Being Greedy white slavers you are shut down all fanbase production if it infringing upon your cooperating you're not making a dime of it shut it down you're not letting the people make decent quality fanfiction shut it down now yours truly a former fan

Was this supposed to be an Anton Class?

Blees German suptitel

Nicely done for what it is, but my nit with many of these fan films is also apparent in this one - sloppy , wrinkled and ill fitting uniforms, unkempt hair (both men & women), beard stubble on the men. Things which you would NEVER see on a Hollywood starfleet vessel (JJ Abrams versions aside). Captain here should have had her hair up in a bun ala Katherine Janeway style. Just that one little detail would have made SO much difference and made her appear more confident & experienced. Anyway, good beginning......

Big B💩 ! Gravitation doesn't get bigger from a BlackHole. You'd have to be on the surface of the star to have that gravitational effect when it turns into a BlackHole. Other way explained, the star collapses to a BH, then you could get closer to the gravitational center, from where is no escape. But the gravitation is not stronger than in the stars center. The outer star layers just won't let you get there. The stars fusion makes a contra pressure to the outside, so the star doesn't collaps, as long as its fusion is fed. So, their playing BS; not in the tradition of Star Trek. 🚀🏴‍☠️🎸

Argh! Who wrote this dialogue? Waaaaaaay too much monologuing and way too much reciting things any and every Starfleet officer and likely cadet would know. too much irrelevant information being spewed out. It just does not ring true.

With the quality of other fan films and of course Axanar it's pretty amateur. You guys have a decent start but you have a long way to go.

Science officer needs recurrent acting lessons

This comes across as a middle aged science teacher’s misguided attempt to make science appealing to his 10 year old students using a cool, relatable TV show. Except he/she forgot that Star Trek is far from cool or relatable to the average kid these days. FYI, I am that middle aged guy, but I realise my love of Star Trek is niche, rather than mainstream!

First mistake...Do not use Okuda designations, if anything, the Grissom you have here looks closest to a Coventry class frigate {Ships of the Fleet, Vol 1 Mastercom Data Centre} or Surya, with a pod attached. Precursor to the Glenn class science vessel Grissom? {STIII:TSFS?}

The writing is terrible.500 light years from earth. Really? That is dangerous. Since the new planet is closer. leave it for someone else to die on. Now Klingons? This is bad.

You know nothing Jon Snow...….sorry had to

Who wrote this? People who work together don't talk to each other like this. And why are they calling females Sir? No one seems to know basic space science? This comes off with all the clumsiness of a high school teaching video.

Got bored 7 minuets in

To much estrogen!

Damn this is terrible...

You have turned Star trek into a chick flick! I'm out

Boring and pointless, just happens to be set the ST universe.

This was the worst I've EVER seen. The Captain was the best actress of all. The crew seemed to be 80% women only. Everyone way over acted. This version was lousy.
