As with the growing list of fan productions, one has to marvel at the energy and effort invested by everyone in the cast and crew. It definitely deserves more views. Keep up the good work.
They could make a series of each of the Starships - Farragut, Excalibur, Essex, Potemkin, Hook, Defiant, Constitution to name just a few - they finished up the 5-year mission of the Enterprise, they can make a series for the 5-year missions of these and other Starships. I enjoyed watching this. Thank you for uploading it and for those who were responsible for its production.
What a beautiful, wonderful, excellent episode; full of action, adventure, humor, suspense!! Thank you all for sharing your beautifully crafted episode!! Everyone went above & beyond in all aspects!! I always thoroughly enjoy each & every one of your amazing videos!! The script, the writing, the actors, the acting, the characters, the beautiful set design…all brilliantly done!!
I love Farragut! I wish we could have full length episodes like this again. It never did anything but keep Star Trek interest alive while CBS/P slumbered and gave us nothing for 11 long years.The Star Trek fan film community did an excellent job. Thanks to all. I wish CBS/P had viewed the Star Trek Fan Film community and its productions as an asset, not something that had to be forced into 15 minute segments. So CBS/P was the only source of new full run Star Trek on the net. I think they were unsure of their own abilities to make a product Star Trek fans would want, so they had to stack the deck in their favor. After seeing first episodes of Discovery and the arc at war with the Klingons, I understand their nervousness entirely. Maybe now that they are reestablished, they can relax the Star Trek Fan Film Guideline restrictions as they feel more sure of the quality of their current product!
The United States has the worst fascistic copyriight laws in the entire world. I don't even think China is as bad for ripping quality content off the internet. But at least China does it because they believe the content is somehow bad for Chinese culture - misguided though it may be. In America, the only reason why content is censored is because of money. Classic, old fashioned greed. The worship of Mammon. They want to force people into purchasing licenses for tens of thousands of dollars - sometimes more - just for the right to use the Star Trek name and characters. They know damn well that "normal" people like those who produce Farragut and other fan-produced content do not have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on permissions. Even though shows like Farragut keeps interest in Star Trek alive - even though hearing music on people's videos is an excellent way to obtain free advertising - no. No, no, no. If there's even 5 or 6 notes of a song played on a video, it is pulled for "copyright violations." Instead, the music we have to listen to is that cheap crap that you hear over and over and over in just about every video now. And the "Big Boys" like CBS are hoping that the small 10 or 15 minute segments will be scattered across TH-cam so that no one will get to see the whole episode - or they won't get to see it in the right oder. Anything to reduce the quality and enjoyment someone might get from an "indy" source. This country makes me sick given how we live in the Dark Ages. We call ourselves the "Land of the Free" when we're anything but. And to illustrate the point - the United States is the ONLY country in the world that will never have high definition DVD recorders in their stores. Nope. Everyone else will be able to freely purchase them. Hell, you'll even be able to find HD DVD recorders in Siberia. But not in the United States. The reason is because American cable companies have found a way to scramble the signal on HD programming so that you cannot burn it onto a DVD. Yes, your Tivo will still record the show in HD - you know, devices that only have temporary storage. But the signal will be scrambled if you try to burn it permanently to a DVD. Never mind that people have been recording television shows for almost half a century, now they can screw you over. Because they want your ass in the store buying the DVD boxed sets for $50 or more -- not recording your favorite shows for free!! How unAmerican is that? You must worship Capitalism and the almighty Dollar! So, the producers of HD DVD recorders have decided that, due to the inability for Americans to record HD DVDs, it simply won't be worth it to market them here. Even programs that allow a person to download videos from TH-cam and other sources have been pulled or blocked for American users. They work fine for everyone else. Just not Americans. Because these little software companies are decended upon by lawyers - like a swarm of locusts - making these programs economically non-viable. If anyone living in America thinks we're free - you need to get out more.
Fan film productions like Starship Faragut run much closer to the style and spirit of ST-TOS than the big Horrorwood productions. While I liked ST-NG and even DS9, I like this return to Star Treks original roots better. The starships, interior sets, uniforms and gear props are all top notch. As an old real-life Navy veteran, I would say a few of the cast/characters would have been put onto a workout regimen to get them back in shape. 😄 But, we have seen fat Klingons in the bigger productions too. I just recently discovered these ST Fan Films, and am really enjoying them. Keep up the great work! 😎👍
I have fallen completely in love with the Starship Farragut series--and I am so looking forward to Farragut Forward. I've been a ST fan since the TOS reruns in the 70s. All my best to you!
This is one of my if not the favorite extended canon or fan-produced canon He's one of my favorite captains if not the favorite captain. The whole crew is great
First time I see this is very good I love it. Wish I had known about this before thank you for the fans I wish I had been there to participate. That said great job 👏
Okay, the whole Jack = John thing had my brain on a complete tangent the first several minutes of the show. But it did sent me down a rabbit hole of learning, so kudos on that!
YES, AND WHEN WE GOT THOSE AWESOME SHOWS FROM PARAMOUNT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM NOW!!! I ENJOYED STAR TREK FROM THE BEGINNING AND COLLECTED THE SERIES, AND MY THANKS IS IF YOU WANT STAR TREK PAY UP, SAME COME NEXT YEAR WITH DISNEY AND DOCTOR WHO AFTER BEING WITH THAT SHOW SINCE THE HARTNELL YEARS. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO, NO FEELINGS FOR THE TRUE FANS AT ALL!! NO WORRY I'LL WAIT FOR ALL OF THEM TO COME OUT ON DISCS AND BUY THEM THAT WAY FOR MY COLLECTION!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS
you know I had an idea to do basically your show but set in the kelvin timeline and having that crew face off agaisnt all the tos threats that enterpise didn't encounter already in the comics and movies and stuff like the first federation and the giant amoeba
you guys should check out their most recent film. the farragut is decomissioned and retired. the crew will be on a new miranda class farragut *spoiler*
Imagine if the official show runners had the sense to hire some of you behind this and other fan films who have clearly shown their passion for the show, and how much can be achieved on a budget of next to nothing, the results could be amazing.
Have been thinking about star trek series, and how Luetenant Carter from SG 1 , supposedly ages earlier, could have taken out them all with her machine gun. Phasers are over rated. Neat stuff though.
C.P.P.U. VASCO DA GAMA. Thats the true name of this Vassel. The Portuguese Confederation of United Planets is lead by the Flag-Ship Vasco da Gama, the first of it Class, ahead of a 45 strong sister vessels. We control all the known space.
Just a little thing but in 5 card stud you don't hold your cards. So I take it that the chief of security has a bone to pick with Kirk? And the knife was a message?
Yes, you hold your cards in 5 card stud. You don't draw (as in 5 card draw) but there's one round of betting (holding them) as opposed to just laying them down. That one initial round of betting wouldn't occur if just laid down. You hold them (betting goes around) then laid down in other words. GREAT ON THE STAR TREK though.. (I got distracted by this "5 card stud" thing) GREAT JOB 😂👍🏻☕️
@@stevesebzda570 Steve, 5 card stud is very much like 7 card stud (though in 7 card stud there are 3 down cards and 4 cards face up). In 5 card stud you receive one down card (hole card) and 4 up cards (on the table, you do not hold them) with betting generally occurring after each up card is dealt. The cards are placed on the table, they are not held in your hand as they did in the movie. You can google this or watch it on youtube for that matter.
If I ever became rich, I would do a Star Trek film with the adventures of the starship the USS Pittsburgh being that I’m from Pittsburgh and I am The Guy From Pittsburgh on TH-cam and not my evil imposter. I’m looking forward to watching these episodes and I hate what CBS did to fan films
You know it's funny because I counted at least three things that, if this were a CBS/Paramount show, people like you would pull your hair out over. There's nothing wrong with any of the new productions; it's simply how you choose to selectively judge them.
@@therexbellator no their is not anything more with them than most shows but if you are going to make a show that is a staple in the hearts and minds of people for generations don't change the way it works if you are going to change something also change the name and universe that it takes place in
@@darkshadow9291 As Spock says in TOS "Change is the essential process of all existence." Star Trek isn't about staying stagnant and telling the same stories over and over again, not only is that bad storytelling it's bad business practice and proven to fail; modern TV audiences expect more than 20th century formulaic television. The new shows have had their flaws (just as TOS and TNG and DS9 have their flaws) but it showed that Star Trek can be more than just a 45 minute morality tale. It's okay to like the old stuff too but at some point you have to move on.
@@darkshadow9291 I mean I don't disagree but I disagree that NuTrek represented that. First off creatives don't simply want to regurgitate what others have done before them; creatives want to bring something of themselves to make their work their own. Also Star Trek had been off the air for over a decade so falling back on decade-old formulaic television is just not a good look especially for modern audiences. Anyway I suggest if you haven't already try out Strange New Worlds, I think they have managed to blend together old and new school in a familiar way that has won over a lot of people.
This was A. VERY WELL MADE VIDEO. THANK YOU a 61yr old trekky

The other starships did not make it 5 years.
The Hood, not Hook. I don’t think Peter Pan joined Starfleet.
My Mistake, thanks for the correction
Great episode. Lot’s of great elements to this story. Nice touch bringing the “Enterprise” in towards the end.
Gotta love the fan film crossovers! Good stuff.

I really like this idea of the adventures of another starship within the TOS timeline. Totally new characters and events.
In a way Peter David tried to do in the 90's with the Excalibur with a different crew to tell stories separate from the Enterprise D crew.
And the occasional call-backs to ST-TOS characters and events really helps with the continuity. 😎👍
I have fallen completely in love with the Starship Farragut series--and I am so looking forward to Farragut Forward. I've been a ST fan since the TOS reruns in the 70s. All my best to you!
Same here and I have watched the Enterprise series on TH-cam and the Excalibur as well. All well made, far better than what I have seen on TV

I remember watching this years ago. Still a good show 👍🏻🖖🏻
I enjoyed it
Good story.
Well done! Exacting, CGI, and storyline. Staying TRUE to the TOS era effects and layout, complete with uniforms and emblems per ship.
I'll bet this was so much fun to make!
The communications officer is yummilicious overload
HAHA, he took a blade for as a gift for Kirk if it was me I would have taken all their phasers as well, good job on this episode.
They did a wonderful job
Great work! A lot of moving parts-and Klingons!
Agreed
Awesomely Well Done!!!! Please do more!!!! And Thank You Very Much for sharing with us all!!
We wanted to showcase these legends
Okay, the whole Jack = John thing had my brain on a complete tangent the first several minutes of the show. But it did sent me down a rabbit hole of learning, so kudos on that!
This was a great film
Jack is often an alternate form of John, as with JFK.

I know how you feel. The Paramount federaxla Grozits want to protect their so-called intellectual property.
Don't you like the free market goyim?
This is the one Farragut that I have not seen.
Really ?? For all the conventions we were at and this was played ?? In its entirerty ??
I love this stuff! Please keep it coming!
Great Job!!!
They did a great job
Another great episode!
this was a great one
I enjoyed it, thanks for the effort!
"Weak female my ass!" Love it! I almost hope the Commodore tries something with "Mike." That'll be fun!
Lol right?!
That scene never gets old😎😎 and I like Mark Hildebrand as Kruge!
H Bednar totally owned that...that scene never gets old!
Very nicely done episode.
Glad you enjoyed it
30:16 Kirk Fu sweet 😂😎 classic tos brawling 😊
I would love the Farragut print on my wall.
Great Episode! Looking forward to another one!
More to come
love these
They're good films
Really enjoyed this , well done!
I wish Id found these 3 years ago
Only thing i didn't like, 360p
I love the theme music
it has its charm
well done. Sad it is only available in very low 380 P. are there cleaner copies here?
Sadly no
29:30
Would not a better plan have been to set phasers on stun?
May you live long and prosper🖖

As I previously mentioned, Peter David tried to do the same thing in the TNG timeline.
@@williammitchell4417 when was that? was that like in a comic or something?

I'm not sure
At 30:00 why did they punch the Klingons instead of shooting them?
Why not
@@vanceamania Err, because shooting would have been safer. The captain punched the big guy like he was granite.

You don't have to wait till your rich there are plenty of fans that will help you make your film. Look at Warp66 Studios and Neutral Zone Studios
Why are Klingons such poor shots?
Related to Storm Troopers?
Never thought of that, probably you are right.
Not using their sights.
Cause then we'd have no episode if they were better shots lol
I like when they're done stunning the Klingons, congratulating themselves, turn around and are surrounded...feels like TOS 😃😃😃
