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.
@@brianbrenner4245 I was a little before your time brother, I retired off her end of August 1993. Reported aboard during Desert Storm, January '91. OZ Division.
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!
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! ;)
Ideally Starfleet crews have ratios similar to the larger population, so it shouldn't be primarily men or primarily women, or primarily any specific ethnicity, religion, etc. e.g. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations#Adherent_estimates_in_2012 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_contemporary_ethnic_groups
Those numbers should vary statistically, with 8 people on the bridge, the chances would be similar to flipping a coin 8 times. 7 females and 1 male shouldn't be that crazy an outcome. 128 to one. So if there's 128 starships, there's a 50/50 chance this would happen once. Get my numbers right folks?
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.
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.
Actually, there have been a few fan films focusing on different crews, this isn't the first to do that. Have a look at Starship Farragut, Sarship Exeter and Star Trek: Secret Voyage.
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.
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
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!
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?
Perhaps it was to give everyone a chance to participate in the drama of the episode..this I understand, if it's the case. It's having fun experiencing in the ST Universe.
i too question the capabilities of the captain. we have to keep in mind. the whole idea of these federation ships is based on the military and the captain is of the highest rank to be given aship to run and he/she must move up to this role through accomplishments.
With a cadet, aboard, it was probably an educational opportunity. This discussion would have probably happened at the table with department heads. She probably, thought it didn’t merit the time. Lots of discussion like this on Enterprise, Voyager and Discovery. I’d expect less on the Defiant. I’m sure it was regular, along with conference room discussion, on ships like the Shenzou, pre conflict, and the Enterprise -D, before the Borg.
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.
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......
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
My question would be why would there still be a SETI if there was a Star Fleet? During this era od Trek we had 12 Constitutiion Class Ships, and I think it was 126 other class ships, and were still pointing anttena at the sky?
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.
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.
@@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES I really like the idea, but you should Mark it kid-friendly if you're going to do that. I almost turned it off cuz it was so long-winded and boring.

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.
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.
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.
Fan films are my new favorite :)
That`s about all I watch anymore is odd creators content. I believe I am better off for it.
'What happens if we get too close to the Neutral Zone?'
'Yeesh... what do they teach at the Academy these days?'
This views like a video designed to teach high school students about astronomy
It's almost identical to one I remember from the 1970s when I was in high school. I think that one had a budget of $500.
Enjoyed it very much - looking forward to the next episode!
What a beautiful, totally awesome & entertaining episode!! This is what Star Trek should be!! Utterly brilliant epic episode!!
This was in my recommendation, just wish I had seen this when it was released. Enjoying this.
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
Really enjoyed the episode
It's fantastic! Great!
I loved this episode. Instead of an average story you depicted a perspective from a cadets point of view!!
A Pegasus winner that didn't know anything about a black hole.
Good job!
Nice use of the Star Trek setting to stimulate interest in astrophysics among students.
Joseph Di Lorenzo very awesome
Oh nuts they cut away just when it finally got interesting. :(
At first I was "what the hell" but it grew on me. I would like to see more.
I liked this.
I thought calling the engineer O'Toole was eye-rolling funny.
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!
the hive must protect the queen.
It's like a video made for a grade school science class.
What we did over summer vacation.
Well done. Continue.
Then a load of hissing Gorn beam aboard the ship. Mayhem ensues!
Gees, SHE'S keen! Neb-YULA? NEBULA! Comm officer Aussie?
Good teaching tool for students. 👍
The last minutes was the best.
From my 12-year-old: "This episode seems more like a science lesson...." #trickthemintolearning
Captain Major must have been a Pegasus award winner too..
star trek chicks
Thanks!
Why is all of the Chief Engineers sound like Scotty, from TOS …lol very cool homage .
Oh he was supposed to be SCOTTISH! I thought he had a really bad cold. He was probably from that tiny Highland hamlet of Los McAngeles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the AUTHENTIC uniforms.
@Brendan Butler Lol, but, to my memory, the lady officers & crew wore both bare legs & stockings.
this ship should be called the uss snow white
Very good a little too explaining of science, but good acting and sets. Look foward to future episodes.
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
this ship should be called girl talk
But it was, to quote Spock, "quite stimulating" girl talk. Innocent and fun to watch.
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!

Ideally Starfleet crews have ratios similar to the larger population, so it shouldn't be primarily men or primarily women, or primarily any specific ethnicity, religion, etc.

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.
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.

This female version of Wesley Crusher doesn't even know what a fucking black hole is ?!?

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

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.
Next?

Star trek: The CW
the driver(pilot),the micanict and the cop have one thing in comon.
how does you fix the on screen version of the USS Grissiom? was this one lost before what happen In TSFS?
Unbelievable! After all that talk we get to an interesting part with a Klingon-- and then it ends. I don't understand all this.
The script needs a little twinkling. I’m glad that the story takes place on science ship instead of on the Constitution class starship.
TOS ships other than the Enterprise should not be using the Enterprises insignia. Starfleet had not adopted it until Motion picture timeframe.
a D-7 appeared
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.
Babe trek! Alright :)
+ 1 like for Cadet Strong :)
Hi! I tried loading the original link for this... was it taken down?
Yes it was. It is now out for viewing again. Thank you for your interest.
Ouch
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.
Nope, that's 1707. Granted that the angle of the USS Valiant, gives it the impression that it's got the Enterprise's registration.
