It really says something when a fan-made show has a far better understanding of the themes, mode, and lore of Star Trek than it's "official" show runners in our modern age.
Even the sound effects the music the doors the buzzers the lights you guys recreated everything so perfectly what an excellent way to show respect to the original series absolutely awesome
A brilliant job of sticking to Gene's story, guys! Impressive acting and sets! Well done to everyone involved! Thanks so much! As I've been a Star Trek fan since 1965! 😊
@SpaceAce100 I always imagined that the Klingon / Tribble Wars were fought with a biological weapon designed by Klingon science. Biological weapons being relatively new to Klingon science, mistakes were made that profoundly affected the Klingon genome, resulting in the newer turtle head Klingons. Ah, well. I can daydream can't I ?
Someone needs to tell the writers that our galaxy is only just over 3 parsers in diameter. Parsec- parallax / second- the distance that a star's parallax shift is one second of one degree angular diameter due to Earth's orbital diameter. Writers are not astronomers............ sigh
It's great that the comments have not been disabled. Us true Star Trek fans can tell you that we indeed appreciate all your efforts to bring us some good stuff, thanks a bunch guys!
I have watched this fan series from the beginning and have been entertained and impressed from a general fan perspective until now. Speaking as a critic, this episode 'Kitimba' has literally blew my socks off, from a directorial, storyline and acting viewpoint, and is one of the greatest offerings in Star Trek fan films on par with the spirit of TOS itself. Wsll done!
Guys, I have no words to describe the thrill to watch these episodes of ST Phase II. Only now in 2019 I noticed about them. The actors accomplish same level of Shatner, Nimoy and DKelley. Simply amazing. James Cawley is fantastic!! I do wish you to be rewarded for this great effort to bring us so wonderful memories of our life.
I am an Engineer, who manages the stoker's , who shovel the fuel into the engine. Worse Scootish accent I've heard!. Overacting is delicious. You Trek geysers are great. Thanks dudes. Dave
The Dr MCCoy "How about a cloak with that dagger," brought 50 years of my Star Trek interest and enjoyment, full circle! Amazing! a half century and I am watching new retro episodes. KUU-PLAH!!
As a life long TOS fan you folks hit it square out of the park into deep space with this episode! Congrats to all involved and I must say Vic and Michelle made for incredible Klingons! For the first time since I was 8 in 78... TREK IS BACK!!!!
Scotty, Spock and Chekov are my favorites. Lt. Uhura and Capt. Kirk are awesome, too. The original music and sound effects makes you feel like you are watching the original Star Trek.
As a former actor, I call it the regional little theater course. When an actor sounds "wooden" its typically because they are conscious of acting while they are saying their lines. It takes practice to be able to completely immerse yourself. For some that comes easy, and we call it talent. For others they can almost never achieve it. A lot of these fan made productions are all about winning a role through fan love, not acting ability. Gotta love the passion and the effort, but it still feels a but cringy most times.

I keep watching this, even years later and never ever get tired of it! This is Star Trek compared to the garbage CBS keeps throwing at us that they call Star Trek!
I agree. After Enterprise and the TNG movies ended, I waited patiently for years for a new series. And we got JJs movies and Discovery. I have never watched anything Star Trek after Enterprise. I'm done with it all now. The world has evolved without me.
@@lordofthestings I actually watched Season 3 of Picard, I refuse to watch the other two seasons cause of how bad it is. But season 3 is actually really friggin good and actually feels like TNG! Even the music is incredible, including the TNG/TMP theme returning in it's full glory!
Wow! This is quite possibly the best fan production I've ever seen. All the things that normally fall short on fan films (writing, acting, directing, editing) were top notch here. This is engaging from start to finish and I only wish that this could be included as part of official canon, since the tale adds a great deal of depth top Klingon culture and could fit in flawlessly with what we've been shown in TNG and ENT. As James Cawley's final entry playing Kirk, this is a fabulous way to say goodbye.
Honestly, that opening shot with the foreboding music, and they pan up....and it's a REAL KLINGON....is one of the best in the episode. Had my jaw on the floor first time I watched it.
I must admit I came across these little gems purely by chance and decided to watch a bit ? I then thought nah ? But realised I needed to just get Iver the fact it wasn't shatner etc portraying the crew and watched some more? I must admit these are an undiscovered set of gems the acting the effects everything true to the originals but with a modern feel I now intend to inform and share my find to others who I know will enjoy these as much as me .congratulations to everyone who is or was involved in these amazing productions take a bow you earned it .
Right away. I loved Buck! Around the early 90s?... I saw him in Christian films later. We snuck into a Church drive-in movie. And there he was... Darn. I wish he stuck with the mainstream! Glad he's back! Love his acting! My life is complete.
2:20 I love Spock’s classic eyebrow raise in the background Also, K’Sia voice sounds a lot like Christopher Lloyd, who of course played Kruge in Star Trek 3!
@@MangetsuSAMURAIthe embodiment of Kirk is an ambiance. not a physical stature alone. and this man has the ambiance, the power of command. kindness strength understanding. his muscles are his photon torpedoes his phasers and his razor sharp intellect. you're dislike of his physical appearance is irrelevant. this is my favorite fanfiction Kirk hands down and I think he may even be my second favorite Kirk overall, although 2009 actor was pretty great.... James Cawley is amazing
Waltzing in here 6 years later, I came to say that after trying to breathe in the toxic atmosphere of Discovery and Picard, this is a welcome breath of fresh air. This episode actually has a gripping story, a complex and strong plot, superb acting, and, most of all, a lack of political agenda and/or activism that interferes with the storytelling. This is what Star Trek was and should be.
What political agenda do you refer, anti racism, war , cooperation and projecting a brighter future of the future? Funny that's what Star Trek projected from the very beginning especially in the 1960's. Perhaps Gene did it much better but those messages were always there in TOS
I comply with that sentiment exactly ! Now with the CBS Libtard lawsuit, we will no longer be able to witness such great achievements from Star Trek New Voyages or all of the other fan base achievements, it's quit sad that corporate Globalists destroy such a genius as this show, which in my view is Star Trek as Gene Rodenberry envisioned! How do we get out from under a corporate cabal in cahoots with Communist China. Discovery & Picard reeks of toxicity, placates to political ideology and is boring as a Tiberian bat!
Finally and episode that doesn't have comments disabled! I've got to say, having watched from the Pilot to here, I am very impressed with what these guys have done! Man I miss Star Trek, RIP, but man this hits all the right old school Trek notes. I really enjoy the banter back and forth between the crew, very well done. Well done guys, I know this is "old" now, but I hope you guys found success in this endeavor. Thank you, for bringing us new Trek memories of old friends!
Out of all the Star Treks shows movies TV series this is my favorite and Alanna the daughter had made in tears she was amazing I have been a Star Trek fan since I watched my first episode of Star Trek back in the 60s
Very belatedly, as I only "discovered" Star Trek New Voyages recently - simply Fan-tastic!! There is much "honor" bestowed on the TOS by STNV. This is the best Star Trek series since TOS!
I didn't realize the cast of star trek continues was in this episode, and I wish the original show used secondary cast members as they do in these episodes
AWESOME !!!! AWESOME !!!! AWESOME !!!! Gil Gerard and Andrew Probert in the same episode? That's a lot of awesome all in one place. Buck Rogers AND the guy who designed the best looking Enterprise ever (twice) on an episode of Star Trek --- it doesn't get much cooler than that. Lucky for us it didn't cause a rip in the Time-Space-Awesomeness continuum. And the rest of the episode is so great also. One of the best Star Trek stories I've seen -- every bit as good as anything from TOS or TNG. This is one of the BEST episodes of any of the fan-made Star Trek shows!
@@johnbockelie3899 Kind of thought Boreth would be the Klingon literal 'sacred planet'? Still, it's a good rewrite of Phase II scripts - although not so easily meshed with the idea Klingon emperors were defunct from the 21st century on...
This episode was one of the finest Star Trek episodes ever! Not just a great fan film. I consider both Star Trek New Voyages and Star Trek Continues the cream of the crop of fan films, and both are excellent additions to TOS.
This is the BEST fan Star Trek episode I ever watched. This would be as worthy as the original series episodes. Well done for the people who made this fan series and especially this episode in particular.
Oh,that’s right!Gil Gerard was in:Buck Rogers in the 21st Century!I saw this when I started High School(except,by then,I was;a Junior in High School).I didn’t know,that this was James Cawley’s last role as Captain Kirk.And,what a fabulous job that Cawley did!A reward,here to the cast!
Great acting? For a group of people in their garage....maybe. The acting in any of the Star Trek versions has never been what one might call great, partly because the writing was so bad. This is not good either. Almost comical at times.
I wonder how many people dressed as Klingons in the crowd scenes where fans and how many were effects?? I 💘 the multiple ships AND the attention to detail on the ships WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Kruge was in the tavern, I'm not 100% sure but I think the person that you're referring to as the Ambassador presumably from Star Trek V is out there in the audience the four Kirk presents the dagger to the Kitumba. ..
This was an absolute AWESOME and excellent episode a lot of Starfleet and Klingon history it plus a plot that kept me glued to the screen!!!!!!! Hoping for many a more to come!!!!!!!!
You guys have out done yourselves in keeping Mr. Roddenberry's dream alive and kicking. I'm surprised that you didn't go direct to DVD with this series. Congratulations on a job well done. I also want to tell Mr. Mignogna that he was awesome as a Klingon and to keep up the good work he is doing as Captain Kirk on his Star Trek Continues Series.
I don't know how I ended up watching this, I thought it was some obscure TOS stuff, but was just as delighted with the fan-fiction actors and story as with some of the TOS episodes. Keep up the great work.
This reminds me of being a teenager, watching, waiting, for the next t.v. guide. Each week love the stock footage sounds an music. WOW. I wunder what William Shatner would think?
Just came back from the studios where these episodes were recorded in Ticonderoga NY. Incredible original TOS sets and props. Strongly recommend to take a tour if in the area. Thanks again Mr Cawley.
An incredibly realistic and authentic journey into the Star Trek universe and an episode worthy of TOS. As a matter of fact, it is BETTER than several of the episodes in TOS. As for the critics of James' performance as Captain Kirk, have you actually WATCHED William Shatner? It isn't like his version of Kirk was infallible. I appreciate all you have done, James, to keep Star Trek alive. THANK YOU.
@@mikeholton9876 Sadly, it's how he was taught, he is afterall a Shakespearean actor. But you wouldn't know that now would you. I bet you didn't know he was Jewish neither. I've always been taught never judge a book by it's cover.
I've always liked Shatner's acting, a little over the top sometimes, but the character James T. Kirk had to have some ego and swagger as the captain of the Enterprise. It seemed like he meant what he said, he was believable. Imho.
I agree. I LOVE these fan efforts like this and especially Star Trek Continues. I prefer how Vic Mignogna portrays Kirk a little better than how Cawley does: he tries to LOOK the part, both physically and in how Shatner portrayed Kirk (in interviews, Mignogna indicates that he's been play-acting Kirk since he was a young child, so his "experience" shows!). James Cawley's acting is fine, but come on- he COULD wear a wig to look more like Shatner; after all, Shatner himself was wearing a wig! Maybe Cawley tried to look like Shat, and it came off badly so he decided to not do it.
Just found this gem. Thanks for taking me back to the 60’s. Awesome production! The special effects were awesome. I also am glad you used the original music which is a character unto itself.
Mr. Cawley: An excellent production from every angle. I must say this is one of the most exciting and epic chapter I have ever seen within the Phase II saga, and even better than some TOS tv shows. High definition delivers new details and brilliant new colours to all the sets and space locations, and the new aspect ratio (16:9) adds new life to them, in comparison to the old series. Special effects are also top of the art. A remarkable job indeed, perfectly done. And I loved that Corvette driving reference when you are on the bridge. This episode is simply amazing. I´m going to miss you as the captain of the Enterprise, but I believe Vic Mignogna is about to do it great as captain as well. Will Mr. Doohan be included also in the part of Scotty? I wish you all a happy new 2014! Thanks for keeping the original series spirit always on top. Well done!
Production values and acting have improved a great deal. Looking forward to new "Kirk" (who resembles Shatner) and episode in February. Great job for cast and crew. I'm so happy you've stuck to the 1960's/Roddenberry look to the set and production while updating special effects. Fantastic!
I'd rather watch this fan film than the CBS BS that doesn't follow any of the original style that Gene Roddenberry had for his original vision of Star Trek
Well, I just watched a full hour and I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it! Fantastic, keep up that level of griping action and on edge of seat tension!
How awesome to see such a great episode of Star Trek complete with Klingons AND Buck Rogers!!!! Thank you James for such good work and great actors in the parts of people we've all grown to love so much!! I thoroughly enjoy these episodes as much as anything that's been on any network. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Not only with James Cawley doing his usual great job as Captain Kirk, but also Michele Specht and Vic Mignogna as two awesome Klingon villains as well! Nicely done! This is indeed worthy of the name Star Trek!
Anyone pick up McCoy's comment at 102:48 "Ill be glad I'm not going to be around." Which of course was ironic since, other than Spock, McCoy outlived that crew and was around to see the Federation and Klingons become solid allies. He made a brief cameo on the first episode of Star Trek Next Generation.
WAY.....TOO.....COOL! WOW! This NEEDS to be a series. It's all there, the classic sound effects, the mannerisms, the equipment......nice, even the introduction is classic Star Trek.
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 OH? Unless u got a better idea on what better accent suits Klingons eh? then i find nothing wrong with Klingons with Aussie accents. Since i find your comment to be an insult my accent since i was born down under u goof.
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 true true. Also The Klingons (orks) in Star Trek Discovery also have no Aussie or New Zeland Accent either despite how hated ST Discovery is compared to over forms of Trek.
My GOD! This is lost episodes of the original Star Trek Adventures and the connecting Bridge to star trek the Next Generation and Beyond the trek world. Why was these episode shunt down and never seen. This is way beyond excellent!!!!!. It explains all the star trek time line from the beginning, present and Future.
Between this and Star Trek Continues it seems I'll be getting my fill of new adventures in TOS era. Great job on everyone's part! The story, the CG effects, the acting, everything was all wonderful. And you can never go wrong with a good Klingon story. Loved the references to Enterprise and even the Abrams Trek film, there was just so much to enjoy. For any Star Trek fan this was a welcome present to be gifted with. :D
I have just been watching Star Trek continues.After having to turn off an episode off STD. I wanted real Star Trek I now think this is the only way we are going to get it.Keep it up guys keep Star Trek from dying .
This is indeed Star Trek the way Gene Roddenberry envisioned the dialogue to special effects the direction and producing of this fan version is fantastic and amazing Gean would be proud.

@@kevinkammueller7553By all means regale us with YOUR fan film and then we can rip it apart. Until then, just be quite.
I recognize the klingons voice he was the voice of Gandalf in the Hanna Barbara animated version of the hobbit from 77
This was a awesome episode to watch. Now the question of the Klingon High Council has been answered.
I love how the two klingons are Captain Kirk and the councilor from the next set of shows.
That was a different show called STAR TREK CONTINUES.
Impressive!! The animation and the sound design stand out particularly for me. Good job everyone.
I wonder how many people dressed as Klingons in the crowd scenes where fans and how many were effects?? I 💘 the multiple ships AND the attention to detail on the ships WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
See our Behind the Scene video: ua-cam.com/video/92UWUtYkUuc/v-deo.html
My favorite episode from phase 2. Very well done Mr. Cawley
Wow. This happened to appear on my feed. Now THIS is Star Trek.
Oh, so much win with this.... Loved the Kruge and Klingon Ambassador cameos.
I missed those! Where were they???
@@AtlasIsShruggingNow ua-cam.com/video/VJouMFIAN8Q/v-deo.html
Kruge was in the tavern, I'm not 100% sure but I think the person that you're referring to as the Ambassador presumably from Star Trek V is out there in the audience the four Kirk presents the dagger to the Kitumba. ..
I’ve seen this film 🎥 several time’s,and it doesn’t get old to view it!
This was an absolute AWESOME and excellent episode a lot of Starfleet and Klingon history it plus a plot that kept me glued to the screen!!!!!!! Hoping for many a more to come!!!!!!!!
These episodes just keep getting better and better!
You guys have out done yourselves in keeping Mr. Roddenberry's dream alive and kicking. I'm surprised that you didn't go direct to DVD with this series. Congratulations on a job well done. I also want to tell Mr. Mignogna that he was awesome as a Klingon and to keep up the good work he is doing as Captain Kirk on his Star Trek Continues Series.
They can't do direct to DVD because CBS owns the STAR TREK franchise there would be copyright issues
I don't know how I ended up watching this, I thought it was some obscure TOS stuff, but was just as delighted with the fan-fiction actors and story as with some of the TOS episodes. Keep up the great work.
Congrats to the Klingon. . Superb acting
Love these fan-created Star Treks! These are people who love Star Trek and are loyal to its canon!
This reminds me of being a teenager, watching, waiting, for the next t.v. guide. Each week love the stock footage sounds an music. WOW. I wunder what William Shatner would think?
Just found this in 10/2024 Excellent 5*****!
Well I'll be damned...Star Trek lives!
Just came back from the studios where these episodes were recorded in Ticonderoga NY. Incredible original TOS sets and props. Strongly recommend to take a tour if in the area. Thanks again Mr Cawley.
An incredibly realistic and authentic journey into the Star Trek universe and an episode worthy of TOS. As a matter of fact, it is BETTER than several of the episodes in TOS. As for the critics of James' performance as Captain Kirk, have you actually WATCHED William Shatner? It isn't like his version of Kirk was infallible. I appreciate all you have done, James, to keep Star Trek alive. THANK YOU.
sadly, i think Shatner's really bad, overacted line delivery and manner is his shtick. a better actor might have been less entertaining.

Sadly, it's how he was taught, he is afterall a Shakespearean actor. But you wouldn't know that now would you. I bet you didn't know he was Jewish neither. I've always been taught never judge a book by it's cover.
I've always liked Shatner's acting, a little over the top sometimes, but the character James T. Kirk had to have some ego and swagger as the captain of the Enterprise. It seemed like he meant what he said, he was believable. Imho.
That guy only gets to be Kirk cause he bought the role! He's terrible for the part!
I agree. I LOVE these fan efforts like this and especially Star Trek Continues. I prefer how Vic Mignogna portrays Kirk a little better than how Cawley does: he tries to LOOK the part, both physically and in how Shatner portrayed Kirk (in interviews, Mignogna indicates that he's been play-acting Kirk since he was a young child, so his "experience" shows!). James Cawley's acting is fine, but come on- he COULD wear a wig to look more like Shatner; after all, Shatner himself was wearing a wig! Maybe Cawley tried to look like Shat, and it came off badly so he decided to not do it.
Just found this gem. Thanks for taking me back to the 60’s. Awesome production! The special effects were awesome. I also am glad you used the original music which is a character unto itself.
Mr. Cawley: An excellent production from every angle. I must say this is one of the most exciting and epic chapter I have ever seen within the Phase II saga, and even better than some TOS tv shows. High definition delivers new details and brilliant new colours to all the sets and space locations, and the new aspect ratio (16:9) adds new life to them, in comparison to the old series. Special effects are also top of the art. A remarkable job indeed, perfectly done. And I loved that Corvette driving reference when you are on the bridge. This episode is simply amazing. I´m going to miss you as the captain of the Enterprise, but I believe Vic Mignogna is about to do it great as captain as well. Will Mr. Doohan be included also in the part of Scotty? I wish you all a happy new 2014! Thanks for keeping the original series spirit always on top. Well done!
How did I only find out about this now?! It's so well done!
Production values and acting have improved a great deal. Looking forward to new "Kirk" (who resembles Shatner) and episode in February. Great job for cast and crew. I'm so happy you've stuck to the 1960's/Roddenberry look to the set and production while updating special effects. Fantastic!
So glad I found this!
Love seeing Gil Gerard, "Buck Rogers", as admiral Sheehan!
Essa produção é infinitamente superior a tudo que esta sendo produzido atualmente em termos de serie. Continue! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yet another example of the "amateurs" out doing the so called professionals. Well done!
@Daniel Vazquez agreed!
@Daniel Vazquez on a
Dont jinx it, more star trek the better
I'd rather watch this fan film than the CBS BS that doesn't follow any of the original style that Gene Roddenberry had for his original vision of Star Trek
@Daniel Vazquez Actually, it's two Star Trek fans and Buck Rogers.
Great Show, no matter what year it may be!
Well, I just watched a full hour and I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it! Fantastic, keep up that level of griping action and on edge of seat tension!
You Don't Know Me Anymore
How awesome to see such a great episode of Star Trek complete with Klingons AND Buck Rogers!!!! Thank you James for such good work and great actors in the parts of people we've all grown to love so much!! I thoroughly enjoy these episodes as much as anything that's been on any network. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello....! That was a spectacular chapter of the serie...liked so much. Thank you.Daniel.
Wow! Not only with James Cawley doing his usual great job as Captain Kirk, but also Michele Specht and Vic Mignogna as two awesome Klingon villains as well! Nicely done! This is indeed worthy of the name Star Trek!
Anyone pick up McCoy's comment at 102:48 "Ill be glad I'm not going to be around." Which of course was ironic since, other than Spock, McCoy outlived that crew and was around to see the Federation and Klingons become solid allies. He made a brief cameo on the first episode of Star Trek Next Generation.
This is the 4th episode I have seen.
It is well written , well acted .
Actually very well done. It's amazing what these folks actually did. I very much enjoyed this video. Thanks to all involved. !:- )
WAY.....TOO.....COOL! WOW! This NEEDS to be a series. It's all there, the classic sound effects, the mannerisms, the equipment......nice, even the introduction is classic Star Trek.
Roddenberry would of been proud of this real proud of it
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 OH? Unless u got a better idea on what better accent suits Klingons eh? then i find nothing wrong with Klingons with Aussie accents. Since i find your comment to be an insult my accent since i was born down under u goof.
@P. Kelly Stark 939393 true true. Also The Klingons (orks) in Star Trek Discovery also have no Aussie or New Zeland Accent either despite how hated ST Discovery is compared to over forms of Trek.
Gene wouldn’t have stopped fan films.
They needed more of a muscleman like the Rock to play Kirk! Just my opinion...
@Patrick Kelly Stark there is nothing wrong with Picard.
Awesome episode! Classic thru and thru. I am putting this in my fave. I am putting this in my favs and watching it over and over.
13:27 "Death is lighter than a feather. Duty is heavier than a mountain." It actually was a small price to him.
My GOD! This is lost episodes of the original Star Trek Adventures and the connecting Bridge to star trek the Next Generation and Beyond the trek world. Why was these episode shunt down and never seen. This is way beyond excellent!!!!!. It explains all the star trek time line from the beginning, present and Future.
Between this and Star Trek Continues it seems I'll be getting my fill of new adventures in TOS era. Great job on everyone's part! The story, the CG effects, the acting, everything was all wonderful. And you can never go wrong with a good Klingon story. Loved the references to Enterprise and even the Abrams Trek film, there was just so much to enjoy. For any Star Trek fan this was a welcome present to be gifted with. :D
***** Take a look at their their twitter feed, they post updates there. They are currently shooting a third episode :)
I have just been watching Star Trek continues.After having to turn off an episode
off STD. I wanted real Star Trek I now think this is the only way we are going to get it.Keep it up guys keep Star Trek from dying .
Star trek 4 whale 🐋🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
This is indeed Star Trek the way Gene Roddenberry envisioned the dialogue to special effects the direction and producing of this fan version is fantastic and amazing Gean would be proud.
Wow, this 1000 percent better than Discovery. I wish they could have made more before they got shut down.
I am so happy I stumbled onto this series. Thank you! Very entertaining.
