You know I am sick and tired of you people clowning Star Trek fan films. This is a NON PROFIT for your entertainment production. The captain was attractive and had good acting skills she actually made the film. All you people complaining about the crews weight and this and that! Put a fork in it it’s done! If you want skinny mini makes no sense hot UNREALISTIC actors then go watch Beyond the Trek on UA-cam. They have the Ken and Barbie doll actors you want. However for us real fans who actually appreciate a fan film and the efforts the actors and actresses put in it we will continue to thank these UNPAID people and watch with glee! Keep it up guys I for one of 1000’s love your work. The rest of you haters lighten up! Go drink some orange juice!
Hahaha. I absolutely LOVED the comment about how Starfleet should "look into providing Ships Counselors". A subtle but very funny nod to TNG. Which is personally my favorite version of Star Trek. Mainly because it's the one I grew up on. But I love and respect all versions in their own way. And great job on the set and sound effects. So spot on.
Back in the day, the doctor was also the counselor, as you will see in both the pilot in the first couple episodes of Star Trek, the doctor would show up at the Captain's Quarters with some booze and asking what's wrong and get him talking about his problems. And was always on the bridge to add his counsel as well.
@@Jack_Stafford I thought that was more because Kirk and McCoy were just best friends? He was just a friend being there for another friend? And not to mention, wasn't McCoy 3rd in command anyway after Kirk and Spock? Which would explain his being on the bridge so often, especially during a crisis. Besides being the Chief Medical officer.
@@xMRxZEROx well that is one answer, but at some point he even says that he has a degree in Psychology and is there to listen. I believe he also removed people from command referencing his psychology background. And in the pilot with Captain Pike his doctor did a similar thing, captain pike was extremely depressed and questioning his command it was the doctor who counseled him about that issue, and they were vastly different in age. So in general I think doctors filled that role until they got larger Crews and could have a specialist in each medical role later on.
There are about 4 now, and you can rent them. Thats why there are about 20 some fan films now and they all have fat as 30 to 50 year olds acting in them. They are all under 20 minutes or Paramount will take there asses to court.
You forget they had to use a girdle on Shatner by season 3 if TOS as he was developing a gut which he had more and more from the Wrath of Khan on in the movies , and now he really has a gut but he is in his 90s, and really doesn't seem that old, which is great.
Why? Kirk only was seen working out in one episode, Charlie X, and not for very long. By the 6th movie it was pretty obvious he didn't work out at all!
Love the effort. sets look great. The doctor does a great Dr. McCoy. The Vulcan ears could use some work - makeup color match to face. A bit high on expository to action compared to traditional TOS Trek scripts, but we fans love the effort put in and a chance to watch more Trek. Love the woman captain in the chair. Thank you and keep going!
@@Jack_Stafford So true. I'll be the first to admit that all of us nitpicking Trekkies are an insufferable bunch. Still not a fan of new-trek though. These fan films definitely scratch that itch for episodic exploration and problem solving. LLAP
CGI was gorgeous! I liked the Captain and her uniform. Also one of the better actors as, honestly most of the acting was dreadful, sorry. I know it's a work of love! And, it's 2019, get the ears right for God's sake!
Starfleet doesnt have enlisted personnel if they did if they did I could see this announcement come to be: "All hands this is the 1SG, PT on the cargo deck at 0600 hours, immediately followed by a weigh in and tape. That is all"
You’re not the only fan film I’ve noticed this with. Vulcans not only have pointed ears, their eyebrows are slanted as well. Yet I have not seen a fan film yet where the eyebrows were done correctly.
It's probably because an actor making a large wage is more likely to allow their eyebrows to be shaved or partially shaved then a fan that is doing it for no pay at all. And remember T'pol and Saavik didn't have shaved and slanted eyebrows. At least not at first.
@@Jack_Stafford, I’ve been doing cosplay for years. Bobbed my eyebrows and used my hair and mesh to make the slanted portion for the proper look. Many fans who cosplay Vulcans and Romulans do the same. I also did community theater. Same there. If I was supposed to look a certain way for a role, that’s what I did. I wasn’t getting paid. It was a matter of pride and also honoring the character. For groups who seem to take such care and pride in everything else in their production values, it just seems “off”.
@@kennethcollins7665 again, cosplayers may be so devoted that they're willing to bob their eyebrows even though they may never grow back. Cosplayers can have a sometimes unique, obsessive Devotion to details of a character that another person who has a job (that may require them to not have bobbed eyebrows in the office) simply doesn't. Also, you didn't address that there is precedence for a number of Vulcans not having the extreme slanted eyebrows.
@@Jack_Stafford , I realize all of those things. I’m not complaining. It is an observation. Again, many of the fan productions I’ve seen are amazing. Their attention to detail is spot on as far as uniforms and props and set designs go. It just struck me as odd, that off all of the ones I’ve seen so far, that is one bit of makeup that they haven’t done (and as I learned later and my makeup skills improved, it is not necessary to bob the eyebrows).
In the fan made series "Star Trek Continues" Spock's eyebrows are done correctly. If you haven't seen "Star Trek Continues," I recommend that you do watch it since it is the best fan made series that I have seen.
So superb, every one did great and what a story, is the Pegasus and crew to continue in your next visual magic Trek stories or are they stand alone stories to come?
There is a full set in Ticonderoga New York and I believe one in Georgia that fan films can rent to use, they are exact replicas from the blueprints of the original sets. It's up to each production to fine-tune things like lighting, camera angles, and I believe sound effects.
I like the episode and I know this is a fan film but during tos there were only 12 or 13 constitution class star ships....but keep up the good work nonetheless
It's possible that some of these ships were rebuilt/reconfigured to become different classes of ships at the time. Given the kitbashing you can do with certain models, it would make sense
Nice CGI work, but the script should remember ‘show, don’t tell”. The briefing room scene had some incredibly loooong speeches from the actors which could have been paired down considerably to make it snappy. I feel sorry for amateur actors given long exposition lines to spout in these fan films.
I was there when they said the Discovery. I just wonder how this crew passed Starfleet academy. this is a great film depicting why average folks would not be cut out for a starship
I thought that in Star Trek: Discovery Spock recommended that the knowledge of Discovery and its crew be classified so how would this crew know? Just sayin’. LOL!!! 😆 🖖🏻
The Prime Directive (as an absolute) is a very bad idea. It's good to prevent Starfleet from playing God, but there are times when it is counter productive and downright destructive. For example: A global disaster strikes. You gather data and input it into the computer and then ask the computer, "If this disaster is allowed to run its course, afterward will there be enough mating opportunities for the species to continue?" If the answer is yes, then interference is unwarranted. If the answer is no, then you interfere. Hopefully without having to reveal yourselves as aliens, but if that's the only way, then so be it. At least the species will survive. Survival is *always* better than extinction.
Not quite to the point that I could hit the like button, but it beats the hell out of anything "official" since 2005. The acting in this was a bit too rough, and the script was too derivative of the original series: a little more originality would have been nice. The writing should also have been better, even for amateurs like most of us fans, but it was better than many Discovery episodes. It was better than *all* of Picard, and actually made sense. Having stated my criticism, Its still good to see something made by someone who actually loves Star Trek and actually understands it. Thank you for not destroying canon and the core values of Star Trek under the guise of "making things better,'
I don't like saying this, but the lighting was dreadful. Whoever is doing the show, please study the lighting techniques of film and TV in general, and of TOS in particular. Lovely, effective lighting (and artistic use of shadow) was one of Jerry Finnerman's signatures for the show. This was lit more like the pilot episode of M*A*S*H. It worked OK for M*A*S*H, but is NOT the same as the colorful aesthetic of TREK. The actors... well, the Vulcan could have been a young Paul Fix! Other than that, the actors suffer the same issue as many amateurs or just-starting-out professionals: ACTING too hard. Not every word needs emotion or strong inflection. RELAXING is the key to honest, realistic, organic acting. ACTING means ACTING like you're NOT ACTING. The VFX Look to be very well-done, which just makes the live-action stand out as that much less of an effort.
Absolutely Wonderful Production Value. But I'm afraid I don't like the story. I feel a lot of fan films tend to recycle the same old Prime Directive Dilemma over and over.
Good job. Better acting than some. Need to pay attention to pronouncing words correctly, not just reading scripted words that you don’t know - clandestine.
It says that an e m probe would have to be at least 100 years old. If they had said something along the lines of an EM probe from Vulcan or An EM probe from Earth that would have worked, that is horrible writing not worthy of the name star trek even as fan fiction
Next time don't waste 6 minutes out of an 11-minute video just sitting around talking about boring stuff. Also, not very creative or original of you to have a grumpy Chief Medical Officer (that's friends with the Captain), a black female Communications Officer, or a guy with pointed ears as a Science Officer. He's not a Vulcan, is he? No pointed ears. The other cast member, Kinkaid, looks like she's sneering as she delivers her lines, or she's suffering from a migraine and is struggling to speak. Still, I prefer this over the Starship Republic video. Sort of.
Is this fan video abiding by the new Paramount/CBS star Trek fan video rules ?? It doesn't look like it and could be sued in court for copyright theft and IP illegal re-use like the terrible Alec Peters fiasco, 'Axanar'.

what an obscene joke from a sad pathetic tragedy
Hey, loved watching it! We did a live watch and it was fun.
Great job everyone! Thanks for continuing the voyages.
As a Patreon it gives me great pleasure to see quality made fan films from The Neutral Zone Studio. Keep up the great work...
Definitely breaking the prime directive (which never happens lol). Glad to see more women in the big chair 👍
Excellent episode. Thoughtful and well done. Absolutely magnificent scene of the ship entering orbit near the probe!

Did they say useless counselors?
Tyler Messer: Scotty was third in command. Nothing in canon indicated McCoy being part of the command structure.
This was actually a lot better than I expected it to be, really good work!
A woman in command of a Constitution class starship before a re-fit, that was a very nice touch. Keep up the good work.
i imagine they did this ;
- to get hits from a zillion dumb housewives.
And THANK YOU for not having the crew call her "sir", that was one of the stupidest things Star Trek ever came up with.
absolutely appalling
sweet work. Loved the CGI in particular; whoever did that has a keen eye for angles and impact!
Agreed. A cool story and excellent CGI.
Glad you liked it! CGI was done by Samuel Cockings.
I think I may have found my most kindred souls. A precise replica of the bridge? You guys aren't fooling around.

@@TwistedSisterHaratiofales Dang
The USS Pegasus really needs to implement a better nutritional plan and physical training regimen for it's crew.
Agreed, Attention all hands PT (physical training) on the Cargo Deck at 0600 that is all!
You forget they had to use a girdle on Shatner by season 3 if TOS as he was developing a gut which he had more and more from the Wrath of Khan on in the movies , and now he really has a gut but he is in his 90s, and really doesn't seem that old, which is great.
Starfleet would destroy this disgusting slime
The original star trek had some sexy women. The guest stars were even hotter.
Thank you so much for this , Plz keep up the great work.
The Capt. @ least sounded & acted like a Capt., much better than some of the other fan based films I've seen.
Why was the captain wearing a maternity smock?
I like the Captain's uniform....nicely done.
Looked really good. Production values were very good.
Nice Cgi. The ship looked great!
I just love it. Tks. Best regards from a huge Star Trek brazilian fan.
I think that Star Fleet needs to institute a workout program.
Wait until you get into your middle age...
Amberyooper I am 55 and in trim and good (not great) shape.
I’m in shape. Round is a shape...
Why? Kirk only was seen working out in one episode, Charlie X, and not for very long. By the 6th movie it was pretty obvious he didn't work out at all!
Fantastic Fan Flick!! Nice Work!
Exellent fan film.💜
Love the effort. sets look great. The doctor does a great Dr. McCoy. The Vulcan ears could use some work - makeup color match to face. A bit high on expository to action compared to traditional TOS Trek scripts, but we fans love the effort put in and a chance to watch more Trek. Love the woman captain in the chair. Thank you and keep going!
So, no fitness trainers, acting classes or good tailors aboard this ship??? Wow.
Well done! Please continue.
It shows that you care and I super love that about this Thank You!
I really enjoyed it, I bet they had fun making it
Great JOB!
Thank you from all of us at the studio!
Love the Captain’s uniform.
I thought NCC-1702 was the Potemkin
or even the farragut ^_^
It’s fan based...picky, picky, picky...it’s NOT a Paramount production.
I like the name Pegasus... There are so many different dimensions at alternate realities in Star Trek now that I think it's fine.
@@Jack_Stafford So true. I'll be the first to admit that all of us nitpicking Trekkies are an insufferable bunch.
Still not a fan of new-trek though. These fan films definitely scratch that itch for episodic exploration and problem solving.

Looked like a lot of fun to make
A very enjoyable fan film.
Great sets. Bad acting. But I DO like Captain Babe!
Awesome work guys! I love the Doctor!

Looking forward to part 2.
I enjoyed the effects of the film
Well done!
The kincaid & uhuru-type characters are the best, keep up the good work!
Someone should have raised an objection. I'm curious to see how they square this circle.
Starfleet doesnt have enlisted personnel if they did if they did I could see this announcement come to be: "All hands this is the 1SG, PT on the cargo deck at 0600 hours, immediately followed by a weigh in and tape. That is all"

You're correct! We shot this before that episode of Discovery aired. Oh well...
But I still like where you were going with the premise. Nice!!! The only thing that bothers me is that I wasn’t in it. 🤣 Merry Christmas 🎄 🖖🏻 😃
Since CBS's S.T.I.N.O. isn't in any way part of "Star Trek" canon, it doesn't matter and should be ignored in any other episodes.
