I agree with most of the comments. Most of the fan based shorts are FAR BETTER than the Hollywood crap of today. Thank you.
Hambone571! Thank you for that very kind comment! Happy New Year to you and yours!
That is because fans love the franchise and want to honor it, not take dump on it like they do with modern Hollywood productions.
I love how the actor playing the human-like type of Klingon has studied the Klingons from the original series and has captured their personality and behavior perfectly.
Thanks Jonathon! You are right on the money, my friend! There was a lot of preparation for the cast as they did their roles in the movie! Happy New Years to you and your family!
Yeah you can tell he's a true fan! Must've watched the Tribble's episode a lot!
Indeed I have....LOL Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very true: both klinongs were very well characterized and close to the TOS and early TNG ones in interpretation
I was actually thinking that the actor playing the more aggressive one captured _that_ to a 'T' something that Christopher Lloyd failed to come even *close* to in ST#3. But you're right, he _was_ trying to capture that.
Love the comments here. I plan to watch this tonight. I noticed George Kayaian is answering everyone's questions/comments. Really nice of him to do that and to do so, so... respectfully, even when the comments were not so swift. My hat's off to you and your Beta 9!!!
Thank you, Thomas Sides! It was most kind of you to say. I always try to answer the questions, because I appreciate people taking the time to ask them. And for comments that you have stated-- that is very appreciated. So, thank you and I hope you enjoy the movie!
I just want to to say that the fireside chat with the Klingon and the Starfleet officer is some of the best Trek writing I have ever seen. To me, it's canon. It describes everything. I don't know why other productions haven't included references to this particular story.
First, thank you for watching and commenting! I spent months of research when I wrote this-- watched everything professionally made (This was before Enterprise even aired!) regarding the Klingons, and then I crafted my story to include an explanation for everything we've seen-- especially the Klingons who went from human looking to bumby-ridge heads. My sole purpose in making this film was to provide the reason why Klingons were who they are-- and not just because "now we have money so this is the way they look". So thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind remarks. The original version of this movie came out in late 2001, and I still think it provides an entire reason for everything to this day. (With the exception of the change to the Klingons in Discovery... I think of those guys as a rogue variant, and perhaps a genetic branch off from the main family.) Much appreciation! You've made my day!
@@GeorgeKayaian another fine Fan movie 🍿.
IMHO: Discovery is pure folly, the Klingons there are pandemic. It was bad from the start. Your work is not of millions as is Discovery and now Picard (🤮), but are from simple convictions with whatever is on hand.
I wonder just what you might produce with a real and sizable budget. I know it would be the same only better.
@@LeslieIsgrigg - Thank you for your awesome comments! They are always appreciated!
@@GeorgeKayaian I know it’s not wha you had in mind but when the Klingon (Krennic?) said they were *still* working on genetic manipulation the Discovery klingorks came to mind...
@@JackPonissi -- Well, that's interesting... always possibilities, as Spock said.
This stuff beats the hell out of the garbage that Hollywood puts out these days.
Thanks Scott! That was most kind of you to say! Appreciate your time and for watching our film.
Reminds me of the old star trek series back in 1966 ,I am old, and old school
@@MrBugman2525 That was very kind of you to say! It was definitely part of my intention when making this back in 2000! Thanks for watching and commenting! It's appreciated!
Thats very true, its all non stop running about and explosions these days the quick cutscene to copy spocks death through the wall just to let people know its still star trek. I've liked the series but the movies are inferior to playing a game I reckon
@@jesussuperlightchris5797 -- Excellent observations. Totally in agreement!
My 3 favorite parts are the beginning, the ending and everything between the two. Thank you George!
Thanks Dave! You are always there for me, my brother!
Great job! I enjoyed watching this and I felt I was in the Star Trek universe. I really appreciate all the time and energy put into these fan films. Keep them coming!
That means a lot, George! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! You made my day! On my channel are all my Trek adventures-- I hope if you get the chance that you enjoy them!
George-- the sequel to this film is called "Star Trek: The Final Darkness". It's also on my channel. (In case you were interested.) "Incident at Beta 9" was the second film in this trilogy. The first was called "Star Trek: The Infinite Chain". Also posted on my channel.
Excellent work!! Thank you for making this. This beats the hell out of the dribble Hollywood is making. What I like about fan films is they have a passion about them that just captures the essence of Star Trek.
You made my day, Grant McCollum! Much appreciation for your kind comments and for watching my film.
@@GeorgeKayaian You are very welcome and thank you for the response. I stumbled across your channel looking for Star Trek stuff and I noticed you have other types of content too. I’ll gladly be checking those out as well 👍
@@grantmccollum4499 -- You are always welcome to my channel! Thank you.
Drivel, not dribble. Agreed.
This is actually a better script than Star Trek Into Darkness.
Well, you made my day! Thank you for saying that. It's appreciated!
@@GeorgeKayaian I will say it too, However? To be fair, there are MANY scripts better than Star Trek Into Darkness.
@@rogergoddard2153 I agree! Sad but true! LOL
I really enjoyed this, thanks so much for all the effort that went into making the three films in this series! This is my favourite of the three, very decent acting, an engrossing story line and...how about that! The secret as to how and why the Klingons changed their look so drastically is finally revealed! Wonderful work, thanks again!
Phil O Brien-- you are a class act. Most kind of you to say-- it's so nice to be appreciated! Thank you for watching the adventures and making our day! All our best to you!
Links the Klingon conundrum together beautifully. Nice one.
Wow! Thank you very much for that awesome comment! Made my day! Appreciate you watching the film! Thanks.
It turned out great, George! Thanks for letting me be a part of this one. -- Ken :)
It is my honor to be associated with such a tremendous human being, such as yourself. You rock on all levels, Kenneth!
Loving that I come across all these fan based Series loadsa new storylines to indulge
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
You made the absolute most with what you had and told a good story. Well done!
Thank you Patrick for watching and writing down those very kind remarks! It's appreciated!!!!
🖖😎👍Very cool and very wonderfully nicely well done and executed in every detail way shape and format provided on this fabulous TOS style production, A job very greatly well done indeed Sir!👌.
Thank you very much! Your kind comments have made my day! Much appreciation!
Mr George, great work as always.
Thank you very much!
fan films these days are way better than anything Paramount (CBS) are putting out
Thank you so much for watching and writing your kind comment!
I think that’s what scared P/CBS. The fan stuff was not only better but often preferred. The fans did it for the love of it. Para/CBS does it out of pure greed.
@@andrewkapplin1138 Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts on the matter! It's appreciated!
Another great job guys. You folks are a gift to Trekkies everywhere.
How wonderful and kind of you to say! Thank you Terance, you make all the hard work worth it!
A very good effort, showing diversity of ships and crew. The personality of the crew was good, different from the other Star Trek TV shows and movies. From what was a low budget, you did a good job, please make some more. STD just doesn't cut it, the fan films are where Star Trek lives again.
Thank you so very much Isaac Allerton! It is so nice to be appreciated, especially when one has no money, and it takes a mighty effort to make Trek films! On my channel, you can find all my other Trek films-- the sequel to this is called Star Trek: The Final Darkness. And there's the first one in this trilogy called: Star Trek: The Infinite Chain. And my current series-- Star Trek: Antyllus. You made my day and will always be welcome to my channel.
STD's acronym says it all. It is an abomination in my opinion.
I like that 1960's B movie quality in the fight sequences LOL not meant as an insult, just a hilarious revelation. This video was really entertaining & gave me the real star Trek Experience. I watched this twice .
Wow! Thank you very much! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time for your kind comments!
Excellent story & cool ship design.
Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Excellent job to all concerned, and thank you George for making and posting this wonderful fan film!
Most kind of you to say! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the film and comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I liked the explanation for the different types of klingons way better than Enterprise tried to explain it. I wish this was the canon explanation. Well done!
Thank you very much for watching and your kind comments-- it's appreciated! You made my day!
That was an hour well spent. Loved the ship/tug design.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and sharing your comments!
I just re-watched this and I loved it. The genetic explanation regarding the Klingon's appearance made pretty much as best sense as anything else so it should be regarded as cannon. Great physical work on your part George. It was fun watching this again.
Robert! You always make my day! Thanks so much!
I enjoyed watching this, the love of Trek shared in a nice well rounded story that captures the spirit rather well.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the adventure and your kind comments!
Hey George I really enjoyed this. I appreciate the time and effort you put in with and the help you got from friends and family. I am watching your other films and episodes as well.
Gerald-- I'm so glad you enjoyed this. This one was always one of my personal favorites. So glad you are joining us in our adventures! You rock!
So much negativity out there on and offline. Thanks for making a positive contribution to the world with your films.
Much appreciation, my friend. I just want to entertain and tell my stories!
You did a great job on this. Great plot and fx. Keep up the good work
Adam Odum! Thank you very much! It's so nice when someone appreciates all the hard work! Really cool. Happy Holiday Season to you and yours!
Wow Klingons sending other Klingons to Stovacore. The Klingon version of Heaven. Can you imagine at a funeral screaming at the top of your lungs in unison ? Then telling the funeral director, do whatever you want to with the body. It's just an empty shell. What a classic response. Well done George another fine adventure.
Love your observations, my friend. Thanks for watching-- it means a lot!
You're welcome George
Wow, just Wow!!! Long before I watched any videos online. Great episode George. You were so physical.
Thanks Robert! So appreciative. Always an honor to hear from you! Thanks for watching, and commenting.
If the title didn't mention it was a fan project, I would've thought this was actually a real trek short.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your watching and taking the time to comment!
I really love the way the external ship shots look like the original effects, kind of faded and old. Very cool!
So glad you enjoyed the visual FX! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Once again an excellent story. Simply excellent!
Thank you very much!
A little late to the party but wanted to say how engaging this was.
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind comment and for watching our adventure!
lol, the horn job definitely stood out. other than that, well done fan flick. held my attention to the end. the explanation of the augment virus from another "perspective" was a decent touch
Thank you very much for watching and your kind words. You made my day! I made this film originally in 2001, and at the time there was no explanation for the Klingon situation. So later, when Enterprise did their version of the cause for the change, it was thrilling, but I felt they didn't cover every aspect-- like why Kor became a "bumpy head" later on, etc. So, I'm pleased that i was still able to cover every angle for the overall continuity of Star Trek Klingons, more than the official version. I'm very proud of this. Whenever someone enjoys the film, it means a lot to me, as you can imagine, all these years later.
You have to remember, UFP's Star Fleet is a military organization. If you are active duty or a veteran, you are well aware of height/weight standards. Many overweight people here and the captain's hair length, ( grooming; Hippy).
Search your heart, you know this to be true.🥞🧀🍟🍕🌭🌮🌯🥙🥓🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🥘🍲🍝🍜🍛🍡🎂🍰🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍩🍮🍨🍧🍨🍧🍨🍩🎂🍬🍭
While I appreciate your watching and commenting on our film, here is my reply: Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek did not consider Starfleet to be a military organization. It was it's own thing. Even today, the weight restrictions have changed for both the military and the Police as examples of accepting different and heavy body types. But even if you didn't accept that-- in the actual filmed Star Trek, the acceptance of overweight body types still in Starfleet can be found -- like the older Scotty and Kirk and many guest stars over the years in professional trek-- that's what we aim to represent! My captain in this episode is an alien, and the hair length is the length of his species. So, it's your turn to search your heart and know I speak the truth. Thanks for watching!
Had to get my Trek fix. Mac's World Entertainment could have done everything over and I still couldn't get enough! Thank you! 12.10.2020
Much too kind, Terry! Thank you so much!
OMG! T'Zrok actress as the science officer!
Not sure how the Beta 9 incident and the ship caught in the vortex are related, but I loved the movie anyway. Well done, and a very interesting variation of the Klingon differences.
Thanks for watching. The ship caught in the vortex question is answered in the next film-- The Final Darkness! Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you liked my solution to the Klingons!
I really like how you modified the exterior of the Hannibal. Well done.
Thanks very much! Appreciate your comment and for watching!
Not to bad a fan-made production. Interesting take on the two kinds of Klingons.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the kind comments!
Good job. Well written, feels like Trek
Thank you very much! It's appreciated!
Good movie, well acted. The Klingons were spot on personality wise. Liked the sub plot. The other ship had me worried whether they would make it!
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your kind comments! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Who knew George was ever so young? And looked so good in hose. ;-P
Why thank you! Yeah, can't believe how many years have past since we filmed this, myself. Appreciate your kind comments and for watching! You made my day!
A very odd little gem of a darn cool film
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching and commenting on my film!
@@GeorgeKayaian your welcome, me spending time with my father watching your fan made film is time well spent.
@@Ocea8i53 - Wow! You made my day! Thank you for sharing that with me.
The Captain of the Tug really should go to a surgeon and get that thing sawed off his head!!
LOL! That is good advice! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. That was a good one!
WARNING!
Do not read comments below as it may sway your view and experience of watching this.
Ok what I loved about this fan film was that it had the feel of the original but also a strong sense of how every kid wanted to be on that voyage and why I felt so nostalgic about it was it seemed like the friends house where the parents were cool and your friends dad built a movie set in the rec room and you go over and the whole on game night shooting an episode and make no mistake you got in serious trouble for making too much noise when the ion storm was coming. It even appeared like dad made a set for the grand parents who were on a rescue in the same plot. lol
I thought it was awesome and I would so have a nice loud Red Alert siren too.
In closing this remark I will say " Nothing hurts like mofo more than a Klingon Headbutt.
Wow... that was very awesome of you to say. I totally get where you're coming from. Really appreciate your watching our film and taking the time to write on our wall. It makes all the hard work worth it when it entertains someone! Thank you!
I say, great writing. The planet ripping a hole in weakened space creating a vortex - just makes sense. Next time I watch this I will look for that Kayaian guy, he was all over the credits.
Why thank you, Michael! I appreciate your kind remarks and for watching my film!
Thanks for keeping Trek alive. Great work.
Thanks Matt Luker! You rock! Made my day!
Now this is what the fans really want
Wow! Thank you very much! You made my day!
I was not aware of the film and quite ashamed that I hadn't found it early. Mr. Kayainan, "Very nicely done"
Thank you very much for watching! I appreciate your kind comments -- you made my day!
The Captain is a Unicorn?! Lol So cool!
Well, I guess that's one way to look at his species! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@GeorgeKayaian over all, I very much enjoyed this video! An excellent story and well done in every way.
Richard Alexander, you are a class act. Really do appreciate your comments! Thanks for coming along on our journeys!
Well, if you were going for unicorn you should have have gone with a spiral horn. That looks more like a rhino horn. The ship needed some better designing. Interesting overall take on Star Trek enjoyed it a great deal.
@@JimDebones Actually it's supposed to be like a rhino horn-- hence the name of his species-- Rinorian. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I've had pimples but wow. Really good show. Great writing.

@@yeldarbarrow3172 - Agreed!
This is pretty good. I like that cargo ship and her crew, and I’m enjoying the story so far
Fantastic! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very much in the spirit of the Star Trek canon. A good plot line, lots of tension.
Thank you very much for those kind words. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your thoughts! You rock!
This is a more organic approach to the two klingon races thing...deliberate genetic engineering also has better potential to accommodate the Klingons introduced in Discovery.
Thank you so much for commenting and watching my Trek movie! Your comments made my day!
So, I wanted to do a let's watch of this video on my channel.. It should give you a bit of a boost. If you have any issues with this, let me know!
Thank you very much-- much appreciated! No issues at all. Deeply honored!
Any idea Lore Reloaded when this event will happen? I'll spread the word when you can give a time. This is so cool! Thanks!
Just found this today. Very cool! Great story. Thanks so much!
Thank you Bob for watching and commenting-- glad you enjoyed it! Much appreciation!
This is my second time watching and and commenting almost a year later but this time I am not drunk lol
I must say that the writing and gaps filled in on the history of the Klingon empire was pure genius. I don't recall them ever thoroughly explaining how the Klingons changed from the original series to something different in later series. I recall an episode of DS9 when they went back in time and a crew member asked Worf about the ridges and he said "Don't ask". Maybe it was explained but I do not recall other than the Discovery changes.
I think a lot of people have no idea how much work goes into something like this. Even knowing how hardcore fans are hard to please and it can be a real task to keep the history and all the sub plots from staying within the story you are trying to convey.
The biggest problem I had was I kept thinking " I didn't know Jesse Watters played in a fan film as Lt. Roth". lol. He never messed his hair once.
Wow, Alex! That was one of the greatest comments I've ever gotten. I did months of research, and when Worf said "Don't ask", I knew that was the doorway to leap into for my explanation! I beat Enterprise and their explanation by a few years, having shot my film in 1999-2000, but I am the only one as far as I know that tried to give a FULL explanation-- why the originals became bumpy heads, etc... So thank you from the bottom of my heart! I can't tell you how much it feels to be appreciated, and the work enjoyed! Thank you-- stay safe and healthy, and know you made my day!
@@GeorgeKayaian Hey I just checked out your channel. I had no idea you were the Klingon telling the history. You were making me laugh quite a bit because you were laughing in that character a lot and it made me laugh. You have no idea how much I enjoyed that fan film.
I will sub and check out more of your vids.
Cheers
@@alextreasurehunter3811 -- Thank you my friend. You will always be welcomed at my channel!
Well, "Enterprise" made this non-canon, but it was a great idea! Really enjoyed this!
Thanks. My film came out before Enterprise, but when I saw their episode dealing with the subject, I was sad that they didn't go far enough. It still didn't explain all the reasons for the different Klingons-- like how the original Klingons from TOS ended up with ridges! When I was writing the script I spent months doing research including taking into account Worf's comments regarding the klingons and why Odo didn't recognize them when they went back in to time. They only dipped their toe in the water so to speak instead of taking the full plunge. Thanks again for watching and commenting! Really appreciate it!
@@GeorgeKayaian I thought it was mostly clear, not in detail but generally speaking, that the Klingons experimented with Augment DNA, which originated on Earth and was therefore human. I don't know how much drama they could squeeze out of that storyline, but from what I understand Discovery hasn't touched it, and instead gave us a fourth version of Klingons (after the Kelvin movies.) I refuse to watch Discovery because I feel that CBS is holding the franchise hostage to sell subscriptions. Maybe if they put it on regular TV their network would be profitable....
what you've done with the klingons here is pretty close to the Romulan/Reman origin, so it's still pretty close to canon, just not for their species, and that's still uncanny.
@@MrTaxiRob Thanks so much for watching and commenting. When I created this film in it's original version, it was in 2001, before anyone had attempted to tell the reason why the Klingons differed so much. The only thing filmed at the time was in the DS9 episode when they revisited the tribbles storyline, and Worf and Odo saw the original Klingons-- Odo didn't recognize them and Work said something vague, as if it were a shameful secret. That inspired me to write and create Incident at Beta 9. This version (Director's Cut) is the same film, just brought up to date with it's spfx and sound mixing and putting in some scenes that were left out in the first cut. After Enterprise finally addressed the Klingon issue-- I was sad to see they weren't fully covering everything-- such as WHY the great Klingons from TOS became Ridged Klingons, etc. They only tipped their toe in the water, where I tried to explain it all.And yes, Discovery has done their own thing now with the Klingons! Despite all the years that have gone by, you'll find my explanation at least explains it all... but I'm just a huge fan, not official... so it's up to the viewers to accept or not accept the premise.
@@MrTaxiRob That is most kind of you to say. Thank you very much for watching and commenting. You are obviously an awesome fan of Trek!
Good job, folks.
Thanks very much!
Finally found some time to sit and watch this. Well done to all concerned, that was fun.
Thanks Nick! Much appreciated....for taking the time to watch and your kind comments! Coming from a filmmaker who I respect so much, means an awful lot to me!
My pleasure to be able to watch. I don't get a lot of free time these days and I've been wanting to watch this for a while, so thanks for putting it out there.
Good job with the fight work. Those punches looked pretty legit.
Most kind my Trek brother! Can't wait to see what you release next! Thanks again!
Best answer ever as to why there are two different types of Klingons!
Thank you so much! I put in a lot of research and work into this film, so I really appreciate what you said! You made my day!
Excellent Fan film, It is like the spirit of the original Star Trek and the older movies. It is far superior to the late offerings from CBS
Thank you very much for watching and your awesome comments! Made my day!

Dang klingons always causing trubble🤔
Indeed! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Or those meddling Federation do-gooder Earthers.... 😂
I remember seeing the original a couple years back. Still one of my favorite fan films! I do have a question though: how did you get such an amazing bridge!? I’m currently in the process of working on a film myself, and I’m still stuck on the sets. I’m probably just going to green-screen that, but I prefer physical sets, they’re just so much more real.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! The bridge was built by me, using material bought at an art store. With little or no budget, I used material I could afford: Foam board, various thick colored paper materials, christmas lights, electrical tape, and panels I created in Photoshop and printed out. I built the set in my apartment and had to live on the set for a few weeks while filming. I love actual sets myself! The trick is to build them so they look good on camera-- and not necessarily the way your eye sees them in person. Careful lighting and filming, knowing the best angles helps! It's worth the effort to build sets-- the actors do a better job in a real environment. Best of luck on your project! I hope to see it one day! Thanks again-- awesome questions and comments!
I like that idea! It interconnects all the Starfleet vessels. Thanks for your thoughts!
@RedneckSpaceMan as always-- good ideas! It's always cool when Trek inspires thoughts!
Klingons can be very selective...it's their nature. So I can understand how you feel!
I kind of missed this yesterday. Saving it up for the weekend. Busy trying to work out issues with Hyper V Manager. Hyped, though, on account of the positive comments here :-)
Well, you are always worth the wait, my friend! Looking forward to your comments. Hope all is well!
This is kind of a pet peave of mine, not just fan films, but all Sci-Fi, "Engines, full power.", followed by "Emergency Power.", followed by "engineering, I need more power.", followed by "divert auxillary.", I mean really, "Emergency power" kinda means throw everything you got at it. And another peave, "gravitational anomalies", gravity such as in a black hole, is limited to light speed. Star Ships have Warp Speed, okay, Warp 1.000001 does the trick, and ships of this era had Warp 6, Emergency warp 8, thats 216 to 512 times the speed of light.
I like the way you think! Your points are excellent. My take is that there are unknown forces at work on the starship as well as what you mentioned. And we find out what caused this "gravitational anomaly" in the next film (The Final Darkness) which is also on my channel. And the nature as to what caused it, supports the idea of something alien going on in this case. The point is, it gave me the freedom to keep the ship in jeopardy far longer than a regular black hole type of situation. I agree that emergency power might mean "throw everything into it" but in this case-- the final request for power meant using their life support systems, a last resort. So we start with just the engines, then other systems, then whatever is left usually not considered except in the most dire of situations. I appreciate your comments and for watching. I hope my answers kinda gave you some insight as to what I was thinking.
@@GeorgeKayaian Dont get me wrong, I am not knocking your film, every Trekkie on the planet could knit pick any fan film to death, nature of the beast, but at least you made one. I think my most popular video is about me bitching about beggers, LOL. But my beef about 90% of the situations Trek ships get into can be solved with, "Warp 2, engage."
@@Memy001- I never thought you were knocking the film! I appreciate the level of detail you mentioned, and how well you understand the Trek realm! Part of the enjoyment of making these films is interacting with awesome fellow fans like yourself. Makes all the hard work worthwhile. I hope you can check out some of my other Trek projects, and I look forward to any comments you may have. In the meantime, take care and thanks very much for watching and having a dialogue!
@@GeorgeKayaian here is the fun tidbit the average public is not aware of when it comes to Star Trek, I have 6 degrees, three of them are Doctorates, the last one I completed was Divinity (I am a member of the Clergy), I postulated that Star Trek is not just a show, it is a religion. I was scoffed at and almost kicked out of the class. I maintained that Star Trek has a history (Canon), which is widely known, and people will jump you if you get it wrong. It has it's own language (Klingon-theres actually a dictionary out there in Klingon), it has it's own law's (The Federation with its directives, the Ferngi's with the rules of Aquisition), it's own currency (Star Fleet credits, Gold Pressed Latinum), the main cast of Star Trek, Star Trek TNG, and Voyager border on being saints, not so much Enterprise or DS9, and it has it's own God's,(Gene Roddenbury, DC Fontana, Rick Bermon, Brandon Braga(sp?), and then there is the one thing that seperates it from Star Wars (Sorry folks, Star wars is not Science Fiction, it is Science Fantasy), plausability. We now have doors that will open as you approach them, hand held communicators I.E. the cell phone, which borders on tricorder as well, the phaser exists, hand held surgical laser scalples, and the taser, but can a military in space really exist? Oh wait, Trump just signed a bill creating the space force. Even the 2nd greatest invention of all Scy fy, warp speed is now a mathmatical possibility, and explainable. The greatest being the transporter...not gonna happen, ever, we will never achieve that level of technoligy, we do however already have matter replicators, the 3D printer. having said all of this in class, I watched a Bishops jaw drop as the Professor of Divinity handed me a 4.0 Doctorate in Divinity.
@@Memy001 -- that is impressive. With your background and accomplishments, I am even more honored by your comments and for watching my film. Thank you. And I agree with all your observations regarding Trek.
Well done. I would like to see more of this crews adventures. I especially like the use of the late great Jerry Goldsmith's score.
Thank you very much, Ronald Boyker! Really appreciate your comments and for watching our film! Cheers!
@@GeorgeKayaian The thanks is to you for giving us a great Star Trek adventure.
@@ronaldboyker9781 -- Thank you for saying that. If you enjoyed this film, I have many Trek adventures I've done over the years on my UA-cam channel-- you are more than welcome to check them out if you want to!
@@GeorgeKayaian You bet I will!! God bless, stay safe and keep 'em coming! :)
@@ronaldboyker9781 --Fantastic! I'll do my best-- and know that I'm very happy knowing that there are awesome people like yourself out there enjoying the work! Take care too!
I like her, the captain of the Hannibal. She's got the ideal personality for that role.
Aha! She's related to the author.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment and for watching! You rock!
Nice job. I enjoyed the story.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. It means a lot!
This is daam fun!
Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
A good explanation for the TOS Klingons!
Newtronix! Thank you very much! It makes all the hard work worthwhile, when someone appreciates it!
Transport ship design is cool. I like the woman on communications, and going with a pregnant doctor is an interesting twist. Should have went with the fat suit OR the horn for the captain, not both. Retro Klingon makeup looks good.
Thank you Joseph for sharing your thoughts! Appreciate you watching our adventure and spending some time with us!
Awesome....I love the story very much....thank you for sharing this....it reminds me a lot of the way the original Star Trek used to be......great story, great people....thank you....it was one reason I have loved Star Trek so much.....the commardery of people, plus the interaction of Star Fleet and Klingons or other species.....a HIGH 5 also good acting by everyone and the music is well given here as well....HIGH 5 It kept my attention, and wanting to be a part of it....many movies won't do this with me.....can I have your permission to share this with my friends on my Facebook page??? I too can't wait to see more of your work.
Hey Karlisa! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's always the point to entertain, and your comments have made my day! You can certainly share with your friends! The more, the merrier! Thanks so much!
@@GeorgeKayaian Thank you ever so much.....HIGH 5 my new friend.....by the way I am 70 yrs old now and still get excited about Star Trek, always will ....I never want to let that die....things like this help me stay alive....LOL.....By the way .... God bless you and all your staff for doing what you are doing....what is happening on TV and some movies are NOT really good material for watching anymore and I don't.....It's the HOPE which Star Trek gave to me that has ignited my own interests into Space Travel, along with the NASA Space Program, into creating my own Sci-Fi story, that is why I write my book and hope to get it published someday. I am also an Amateur Astronomer, have been watching the night sky since I was 5 or 7 yrs old, built my own telescope at age 10 or 12 and have bought others.....but lost the one I used the most with my house....I miss it. My interest in Science was kindled at age 8 or 9, watching nature.....so the Star Trek Universe means something to me. Thank you again for letting me share this....HIGH 5
Thanks Karlisa-- we'll keep on Trekkin' and you do the same! Being creative and hopeful is always a good thing! High 5 right back at ya!
@@GeorgeKayaian I have posted this episode on my FB timeline....thank you for letting me share this with my friends......God bless and hope to see more of your work....i just wish I could be one of the crew somewhere....LOL If you want to contact me someday....you can reach me there on messenger....thanks again
The Klingon just rolling down the hill at 8:35.
And It took several takes too! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
Watching again.....Thank you for this
He split his tights lol
Rolling towards the camera tripod.
😂
George, I discovered your work through our mutual friend Randy Landers of Potemkn Pictures, I have to say I like what I see and you have a new subscriber.
Wonderful! Welcome aboard! And thank you for joining in on the adventures!
I'm thinking the Captain is legally stopped from EVER giving someone a head butt! Lol
I have to agree with you. Love the comments! Thanks again for watching!
But between the captain and a ridged forehead klingon Who would Win??? 🤔
I'm changing the title of this to: STAR TREK: NEW JERSEY, "Incident at the Shore"!
Well, that's a good title too! Thanks for watching!
@hottacatta yaya Thanks for watching and commenting. (The horn notwithstanding)
The transport tug's Captain reminded me me of my wasgonnabe mother in law.
Same age, blond hair, and northern NY/NJ accent. RIP Rose ❤
Captain its Weight Watchers there insisting on beaming aboard !!
Bradley Clarke We all need weight watchers. Weight Watchers watch us all gain weight.
That is just mean! 😁. Leave them alone it is clear that Paramount isn’t going to give us our Star Trek fix. LOL. 😂😂😂
@@iowanforjustice5656 Thank you for the kind support, my friend.
Well memorized. Convincing? Only a high end director can give you convincing.
Thank you for watching and commenting! Most appreciated!
51:29 Ferengi rule of acquisition "nature decases but latinum last forever"
Thanks for watching and commenting. I like that Ferengi rule-- has the ring of truth to it.
The other day I set out to find fan films I’ve missed and found this gem in the here, and now, a.k.a. “The past (February 2024)! So glad I did. Fine storytelling! I’m curious: This adventure was originally released in 2002, which means you beat Archer’s Enterprise to the genetic engineering take on cranial ridges by three years (ENT SE4 ep15/16, Affliction/Divergence). What gives - did you beat the franchise to it or did you both get it from B-canon novels? Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of catching up to do with you, and I wish you the best of health, happiness, and bold goings.
Greetings! I'm proud to say I took on the Klingon challenge first. At the time nobody was doing anything about it! My film was written by me and is totally original. I actually did months of research for what had been filmed in Canon up to that point, and came up with the reasons why the Klingons differed as seen in the movie! When ENT did there take on the Klingons I was disappointed-- it was incomplete and didn't make sense regarding why the TOS Klingons had changed when they appeared in DS9. My explanation is complete and explains everything!!!! It even accounts for why Worf refused to explain to Odo why he doesn't recognize the human looking Klingons in their Tribbles sequel episode. Over the years my movie gathered up a loyal fanbase, and I was told by people actually in the industry that they were aware of my film and my other trek films and thought they were really good Trek stories! I was blown away. Especially for a no-budget guy like me! So thank you very much-- you made my day! And you are always welcome to my channel! I look forward to hearing from you again if you get the chance to watch any of my films!
@@GeorgeKayaian thank you so much for that reply. I’ve watched a whole bunch of UA-camrs’ rationalizations of how those ridges changed over the centuries. We’ll just call it a bunch of fun rather than have me be a grumpy boomer. (In fact, I appreciate all Trek, even Discovery for at least trying something new, even it introduced a whole new level of confusion between the “pre-prequelness” and Klingon madness!) I’ve watched some more and will continue to. In short, for now…greetings from Chicago!
@@BobSperber Thank you! And welcome aboard!
Not bad. A bit wooden with the performances, but not sure I could do any better myself! A very worthy effort!
Scott Conwell, I really have to thank you for your comments and for watching our adventure. I can tell you are a real fan, and that's very cool.
Enterprise explained the Klingon event. Unfortunately, the Klingons seemed doomed to change depending on who's in charge with each new iteration.
My movie was written and filmed BEFORE ENTERPRISE was aired! I'm proud to say, my story is actually more complete than their eventual explanation, as it explains why Kor, Kang, etc became bumpy heads, as well as the reason for the different Klingon types in general. It premiered at I-CON 4 to a packed audience, and was well received. Actually, despite the yers, my story is still the most comprehensive on the subject of the Klingons. It was created for the main purpose of explaining up to that point what the Klingon situation was, and how it came to be. This is the Director's Cut in which I was able to remaster my movie, and tweak a few things here and there, so don't be fooled by the date posted for the video-- it is still my old movie! Thanks for watching and commenting!
ToS did not have the budget to make advanced alien makeups so they made do with goofy outfits and body paint. Coming The Next Generation we got the rubber forehead aliens. DS9 gave us better makeup jobs with the Cardassians. Enterprise could use computer animated Sectoid Xindi but we didn't see much of them. If we where to set up a new series today with a proper budget and respect for the original setting a lot more could be done. I do noticed that the short animated series used more "alien looking" aliens including a three armed guy on the bridge telling me that the ambition was there. I guess that a main reason for why we don't see odd skin colours much in the main cast is to avoid what happened to the character Rev. Bem in Andromeda that had to be dropped when the actor got allergic to his own outfit.
Jesus man, do you actually reply to every comment for the past 4 years? That's some pretty sold dedication there! Also that's a really great film! I just searched for star trek fan films and suddenly youtube decides to flood my recommendations with it, so that's how I found yours! Are you still producing any more fanfilms btw?
Greetings, my friend! I do try to respond-- if someone takes the time to write to me, I feel it's (the least I can do) to respond in kind. I can't thank you enough for your kind remarks! Yes-- I'm now working on Starship Antyllus-- my current trek series. We are on our third season and I'm working on the latest episodes, as we speak. You are always welcome to check it out-- and anytime you feel like commenting-- I'll be around to respond. Be well and thanks again!
Great story! Make more!
Thank you very much Tommy! There is much more Star Trek on my channel posted! This Includes my new Trek series Antyllus and "The Infinite Chain" and "The Final Darkness"! Really appreciate your kind comments!
At the camp fire2133 why hasn't the star fleet office realized his star fleet companion has noy checked in?
3356 only you can prevent forest fires, put that campfire out.
Thanks so much for watching! The planet's natural chemical composition and minerals mess with the communicators and tricorders, causing them to work erratically. Sagan and Roth knew this, so when there was long stretches of no communication, there was an understanding why. As shown in the movie, during the campfire, they managed to talk on the communicators-- but only briefly-- long enough to make plans. Plus, at the time, each one had a Klingon on their hands to deal with-- (a tough situation for both of them). And yes putting out campfires is important-- but there was no danger in this case, since they were out on a dirt and rock environment, and there was no chance of it spreading. Thanks so much for your questions and comments. It's appreciated.
Did they just have a moment at the beginning lol 😆
I believe they did! Thanks for your time-- it's appreciated!
Fantastic
Thanks very much, Don!
That poor stunt man at about 8 min. Glad it appears he was wearing a lot of padding.
Actually that was me-- and the only padding I had was my own body fat ...LOL. I did about four takes on that fall down the hill side!
@@GeorgeKayaian bet you were sore the next day!
I believe I was-- we shot several more scenes that day, as I recall! Thanks so much for commenting. It means a lot when people watch the work!
@@GeorgeKayaian George: I will watch ANYTHING YOU MAKE! (Only exception, those little pieces, where the actor is repeating the same linee over and over).
Thanks Andy! Most kind. BTW-- those little pieces are only posted so Vance can download them for his use, but I have to keep them public so they are available to him at all times. But really, they are not meant for the public, so I get where you are coming from.
