Great work by everyone! Loved seeing Hunter through out the years (the digital de-aging turned out great!) and dang it if the Guardian's message on hope didn't get me choked up a bit at the end there. Another fantastic entry in the Starship Intrepid tapestry!
Absolutely WONDERFUL! Loved the ending. And it was fantastic to see Risha Denny (write her a solo movie STAT! lol) back as Shelby. Congrats to all involved!
We’ve often talked about working with Risha on something more, but she’s pretty busy these days and that ocean between us complicates matters. But never say never, and I love working with her. :)
@@StarShipIntrepid If you ever do a solo movie with Risha, you've got to bring back James Cawley as Mackenzie Calhoun! Hard to believe he only played that character once in that one HF episode.
Very Good. As I am getting older I too ask myself "why am I here". This is the reason I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place. For me it was never about the battles and the special effects. It was about asking deeper questions about ourselves/myslef. This episode lives up to that .
Thank you, I’m glad it resonated with you. Certainly been asking those questions myself a lot too as I get older. And like you, those are the kind of stories as like the most.
Really great work guys! I had to watch it a second time in full screen just to see that D'Deridex flyby. I think this is one of your best stories (so far). It had some nice references, a good lesson, and excellent character development.
Brilliant just Brilliant! This was the best episode I’ve ever seen. Wonderful and riveting storyline and Oscar type performances. Loved the special effects! So real! The way you tapped on those panels made me believe you were really piloting the shuttle. Uniforms and Pips were spot on mate! I’ve never seen such manly Star Fleet officers. The Kahn was my favorite and so mysterious, Paramount missed out on you mate. Keep writing I hope you have another soon! Cheers!
@@StarShipIntrepid will you be releasing more in the future? As big of a Trek fan as I am I have to be honest and say I am so disappointed in Picard and the direction the writers have gone. They have never been so off the mark in my opinion also not following Roddenberry’s vision what so ever. I hate what they did to Seven’s character and how they killed Echib made no sense. It’s almost like the creator wasn’t a fan and didn’t catch too many episodes. Roddenberry creation was one with an utopian future that sparked imagination and inspired technology’s. It made the future something to look forward too. They have turned it into a future that is depressing and dark with nothing that you would look forward to which is why your Movie short was such a breath of fresh air and am hoping you have plans on continuing the story. I called it a movie short because a “fan made film” doesn’t do it Justice in my opinion. Your creation was exactly what Roddenberry had visioned and is “More Star Trek” than any of the installments that have been released. Apologies for a tad bit of ranting and wining I just hope to see more from you . Many thanks,,, Cheers!
This was really nice! I liked how it progressed and the impact it had on Hunter. Seeing him at different points in his career and life. Very good use of the T’kon guardian, too. Nice lighting, camerawork, acting and story. I loved the cameo, it was a great callback to earlier days! Bravo, Intrepid cast and crew! 👍🖖🏼😎
Have been a fan since seeing Heavy Lies the crown in late 2007, fifteen years of NEVER being let down once!!! The musical cues matched the uniforms in easing the viewer between time periods. It was nice to see Rob Caves' name in the credits, as it was Hidden Frontier that lead me to Intrepid in the first place. Just seeing the love and effort put into every production makes be proud to be a fan of Star Trek because it was Nick, Rob, and everyone else that held all of us over in those years of no trek on TV. As a compliment, I enjoy these works of love FAR MORE than anything on TV (well, the first two episodes of PIC made me think there is hope) Thank you Nick and all who devoted their time and effort!! (Sam Cockings is AWESOME!!!!)
Makes me so happy that you recognised the progression of the cues through the time periods. I never mentioned it to Nick whilst I was working on it; but of course he saw through it right away - even before all the cues had been finished. 🤣
Thank you so much Scotty, that means a lot. And thanks for watching, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And yes, Dylan’s score, and Sam’s visuals are awesome. :)
I was excited when I heard new Star Trek would be on TV in part because I remember the sense of inspiration that made me fall in love with Star Trek in the first place. The optimism and hope for the future that unfortunately is pretty much totally lacking in all the current offerings. THIS is the Star Trek I fell in love with, THIS is what I want more of - everything about this is spot on. Thank you all so much for what you have created! You truly capture the heart and soul of what I love most about Star Trek, it's real essence.
Thanks so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I personally am enjoying the newer shows, especially Picard, but I totally understand not everyone agrees. Indeed, I remember similar feelings when TNG first aired. I’m sorry you’re not finding joy in them, but I’m genuinely grateful that you found something you’re missing in our very modest efforts. :)
@@StarShipIntrepid They have their own appeal and are good in their way, and of course I am watching them because it's new Star Trek, but it feels like something "classic" is missing. It took some time for each of the "new" shows to grow on me when they aired and I try to appreciate them each for what they are. Very much looking forward to Strange New Worlds, it seems like it's going to have more of the classic appeal to it, but thus far few of the episodes really grabbed me immediately like this one did. Trek means something different to everyone and that is what makes it so great. Your efforts deepen and enrich the Trek universe and here's to hoping for many more episodes from your team :)
When I saw Nick Cook, I knew it was going to be a good. video. Excellent acting and story. I always thought it would fun to be part of Captain Hunter's crew on USS Intrepid. Especially if I had a chance to pilot the ship! Lol
Thank you for this Commander, et al. Your fan made movies are far better than anything paramount is producing, and it helps me remember why I love Star Trek. Live long and Prosper...
What a great episode! I loved the story (and the various uniforms from different decades supporting it) and the emotional music. Seeing Risha Denny as Shelby was great and it reminded me of Hidden Frontier which inspired so many fan film endeavours. It was so very human to see Hunter getting older and wiser - I think that is what Star Trek is about. Many thanks to all involved for the hard work. Keep on trekking!
I’m so glad it touched you Randy, that means a lot, especially coming from a fellow maker of fanfilms. Thanks so much for watching, and I hope your day is looking up.
Well, this is incredible: there’s magic, and definitely a good old fashioned Trek story in there in Hunter’s ageing and his different perspectives as time passes. A beautiful meditation on the nature of change, youth, and dreams as one gets older. I dare say it resonates a bit too close to home in some ways 😂. Also, as someone who’s watched these films for years, it’s incredible to see the crossovers popping up, making it feel like part of a bigger universe. Connects the whole universe together. Much love, LLAP 🖖♥️
What a great story in great ending I will be thinking about this for quite a while. I'm already planning on having multiple viewings thank you everyone
Wow. Beautiful work all around. I've been wondering recently where my own younger dreams have been hiding. So although the guardian's words to Hunter clashed with his self-doubting and almost cynical attitude at the end, they resonated a bit with me. Thank you.
Amazing work as always. Loved the story and production. Hunter has always struck me as tenacious. And especially thanks for the stroll down Memory Lane.
A nice little story. Special effects great as always Samuel. Your little one line was also delivered very well. With a few exceptions the acting was pretty decent. :-D
The whole episode looks and sounds very professional, if i didn't know it was a fan film i would not be able to tell the difference......well done to everyone.
Great work by everyone! Loved seeing Hunter through out the years (the digital de-aging turned out great!) and dang it if the Guardian's message on hope didn't get me choked up a bit at the end there. Another fantastic entry in the Starship Intrepid tapestry!
Thanks Matt, I’m glad that last scene resonated with you. I was hoping it would have that effect. :)
Consultant Matt Boardman 👍🏼 👍🏼
Much better then anything CBS is putting out! I think Gene Roddenberry would be Proud!
That last shuttle looked amazing...beautiful design..another enjoyable show...well done and thank you ...
Another triumph! Told you you had nothing to worry about ;) Well done :)
Outstanding story, VFX, actors ... everything! Well, well done guys
Absolutely WONDERFUL! Loved the ending. And it was fantastic to see Risha Denny (write her a solo movie STAT! lol) back as Shelby. Congrats to all involved!

I totally agree, this was amazing. It was great seeing Risha again!!!
And was nice to see Risha Denny again...
Always a joy to see Risha. Thanks for watching g, glad you liked it. :)

Really enjoyed this. And as a uniform junkie, it was doubly satisfying.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. As a fellow costume junkie, I definitely had fun playing with the different looks. :)
I have three words... Fantastic. Awesome. Exciting.
Thank you!
@@StarShipIntrepid you are most welcome.
Really great work guys! I had to watch it a second time in full screen just to see that D'Deridex flyby. I think this is one of your best stories (so far). It had some nice references, a good lesson, and excellent character development.
The end discussion gave me goose bumps. I do ask myself this question for some time now. Thank you for bringing back the spirit of Star Trek.
Thanks for watching, I’m so glad that scene had an impact on you. :)
I have always enjoyed the Hunter /Shelby relationship.And as Sulu said to Kirk,"its good to see you in action one more time!"
Thank you! It’s one of my favourite things to write and play. :)
Now this is what Star Trek should be well done well done!!
Best one so far , the series has matured in to a true render of the hope star trek was meant to be bravo
Ace much appreciated, gets better every time
The blad spot on the back of his head was a sweet touch
LOL. Years of preparation for that one. ;)
Beautifully simple story told with a science fictional twist. Right up there with "A Treasure for the Ages" in my top two Intrepid stories.
Enjoyed this.
Nice to have a Scottish captain for a change.
Loved the special effects.
Good acting.
Great story and it was great to see Shelby again too🖖

Sorry I hadn’t spotted your reply sooner. Yes, we absolutely will be making more, we have a few films in various stages of production. :)
Wow! Well done! The alternates... Referencing 'Shelby' and 'Soleta'...
Again, wow.

Thanks so much! It was wonderful to be able to sneak Risha in there. I really miss working with her and Rob and everyone from HF.
The last scene kinda reminds me of the saying life is a journey not a destination,you all did great LOL!!!!!
First rate entertainment, Nick! Congrats to all involved. Wonderful episode! Proud of you guys!
Thanks so much George. :)
Very Cool "episode" indeed!
It's not easy to do a complete story in under fifteen minutes but this one nailed it.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Such a great story with amazing attention to detail
It was good to see you in uniform again Nick.
It’s good to be back. :)
might be the most up to date fan made video I've seen covering events in star trek picard
Sam Cockings Trek Shorts has one set during Picard season 3. :)
@StarShipIntrepid During the first episode of S2 yes! ;) :D :D ua-cam.com/video/_Bi0MDufM3M/v-deo.html&t= with a digitally aged captain.

Well done! Keep it simple. Well executed. Interesting message. That's Trek.
Absolutely amazing!
Excellent in Every Way!
Terrific story, and the digital de-aging backs it up solidly!
Impressive production and storyline
Thank you so much for making this. 1000 times better than Alex Kurtzman's STD or STP.
Incredible
Love it, nice story

Awesome! Really great Idea haha , I'd have rung his neck with frustration if I was able to remember going there each time xD

Very very nicely done all around! Excellent Story and acting! Loved the last ship design!
Loved the showcase of uniforms.
Thanks! Was fun getting to use them all. :)

Thank you, Nick and crew. I needed this today. Keep up the great work!

Great Trek! Missed this kind of trek
Well this was great work! Wonderful story, and great production value! Keep it up guys!
super well done! Loved the lesson and also the last shuttle :🤤 I want one! haha again superb acting and visuals!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. :)
WOW Awesome! WEll done. The last Shuttel was very nice
Pretty damn good fan film! Great story, acting, everything. Well done!
Thanks Josh, appreciate you taking the tIme to watch and comment, especially as a member of the fanfilm community. :)
Great Fan Film!
Nice!! 😍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Wonderful. Wanted to watch more, as I saw the 14 minute mark tick by. :)

Wow!! Incredible!! Put tears in my eye!! Trek to the core!! Congratulations!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was very entertaining. Great job!
I love this journey through TNG to DS9 to Picard, and everything the MC goes through. Effects are fantastic, great stuff
Sweet and beautiful. This is how it's done. Thank you, Mr. Cook.
Such a a fantastic episode once again and Star Trek in its core. Well done cast and crew! :)
Amazing work. I really enjoyed it. A true Star Trek adventure.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Risha! Pleasantly surprised to see her back. 😊
Wonderful to see Intrepid up and still running.
Loved that wee shuttle at the end Samuel! Excellent design😁
People like you guys and others doing fan work is the only thing keeping Star Trek alive right now.
This is the Star Trek I enjoy and dream of. Thank you for this.
The 24th century and still no cure for male pattern baldness, I am very depressed. Great video
Hunter likes it :P its a choise! drom his 20s to 50s..as you saw from this
If it’s good enough for Picard. ;)
@@StarShipIntrepid I am bald that is why I made the comment, I liked the short movie.
Fantastic original concept for an episode. Very touching at the end too
in 15 min you did what cbs has yet to bring back , hope
This is better than Star Trek discovery.
that was d*mn good Trek. Hit all the bases and felt appropriate. Bravo.
Wow this was really good. I loved the story, so simple yet complicated at the same time. Y’all did a great job.

Honestly can't wait for the next one, best Fan Films ever!
Awesome work! Very well done!
Outstanding story. With great character growth.
Well done.
👍🏼 👍🏼 That was pretty good from story all the way to special effects. Love me some Star Trek fan films.. Thank you
Such an amazing production! Loved it! And those special effects!
I absolutely love this, very well written and acting. Please keep up the good work.
Great effects, great acting, great story, thank you.
Thank you!
Credit, where credit is due.
Appreciate it. :)
Look everyone I've found new Star Trek! It's a miracle! 😉😁
Excellent of course. I like anything Romulan in Star Trek so I particularly savoured the D'deridex Warbird and Jem'Hadar fighters skirmish.
Impressive!
Amazing!
This is good. Well done.
vfx were spot on my guy commander Cockings from Trekyards probably had a hand in that lol loved the story and how every shuttle was slightly different
An interesting one l like it thanks
Brilliant Nick and crew!! Well done!
Bravo
Nicely Done!
