This type of story telling wont do to well with the general american audience. Stupid plots , american football , and donald trump is what appeals to the masses.
Just a couple of issues. I disliked the first officer from the outset when she said, "Your ship?" To the Captain. Probably a result of writers not understanding anything about military culture. That was a direct assault on the authority of the ship's captain. She should have been taken down a notch immediately.
Folks - that was a really ambitious swing. It's hard to tell an innovative story in 23 minutes, with clear direction, heading to an emotional payoff - but you did a great job. Yes, there are a few rough edges, but I think you should all be proud of this. Well done!
I think that each member of the cast in this production each deserve a commendation for meritorious performance noted in their file. Also, the exterior shots and effects are just freaking GORGEOUS. They even have the shields that are tight against the hull instead the bubble type that was used in the 90s and earlier shows.
I sit here stunned by what I just saw. This is perhaps the most amazing fan film I've seen to date. To say well done to everyone involved just seems inadequate because well, it is. Everything about it was simply perfect.
@@alvermette218 I was used to starship crews finding a last nanosecond way out of situations that I thought that maybe they would do the same. The emotional impact of ramming the Klingon ship does not lessen with rewatching. Vic's closing credit music was just incredible.
TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! I have to admit I sat in stunned silence for a few moments at the end. Very well done!! Here is to the crew of the Cherokee. SALUTE!
Wow, this episode was so unexpected. I had no idea what was happening or where the episode was going. But that ending.... so somber and moving. Well done, well done. This episode was impressive and the music selection was so good. One of the best Star Trek fan episodes anywhere.
WOW!!!! That may be the best Star Trek I've seen in decades. I was thinking that just before the credits rolled. Then I saw Vic Mignogna was involved and saw part of why. I'd really enjoyed Star Trek Continues, and that (along with Axanar and the rest of the Avalon Universe shows) had been REAL Star Trek for me, not the corporate stuff of the last 15 years or so. Wow though. That was visually beautiful, acted superbly, and riveting and heartbreaking. The final information about the Cherokee and it's part in the failed peace mission were, to use a phrase that is entirely appropriate, "Fascinating". THANK YOU for keeping the true Spirit of Star Trek alive!!!!!
War is hell; even when it's a cold one! ... And casualties are incurred no less costly and tragically. Such is the nature of sentient conflict. Unofficially, the crew of the U.S.S. Cherokee died in the line of duty; having given their full measure, in service to the Federation. . . . This was certainly an unexpected ending to an unexpected chain of events. It was a fast-pacing episode, and certainly heartbreaking, but a ground breaking episode for the folks at Avalon and Neutral. I feel like mourning. Congratulations. 💔
I could not agree more with everything you said. Especially about feeling like mourning. What impressed me is how quickly this story got me to care about characters I'd never seen before with no hint of the fate of the Cherokee and those who serve aboard her. So when I rewatch this and I have several times already, one is very quickly struck by the tragedy to come and the feeling the ending creates does not lessen. If this had been a web series like the glorious Star Trek Continues, we could have gotten to see a very fine crew and gone on awesome adventures with them. First Officer Karinski was definitely captain material. As much as I'd love to see a web series with the Starship Cherokee, not getting to see their five year mission only makes this story all the more powerful.
@gabesantiago3074 I think you misunderstand me slightly. When I say I could not agree more, I'm saying I agree with you completely, if I had been saying that I could not agree less, then I would have been disagreeing you. We're actually on the same page.
Just Wow. That was amazing. It's fan films such as these, so well acted and produced, that deserve to be in canon Trek. It's so good that it would have been fitting to be shown in Star Trek: Short Treks, like how it should have actually been done to expand the Trek universe. I don't know how you are able to screw up an anthology series, but these types of films, done by FANS, are miles better than what we gotten from that.
Well done, I am not one to watch many Fan stuff, but this is excellent! Love the whole thing: Story, Acting, Effects, etc. Well done to Vic for directing and loved his "cameo" as the Klingon 1st Officer! Vic, this is Ken from former Team Gary, aka Convention Stuff. You will understand this. Miss seeing you and assisting and hope all is well! Avalon Team, keep up the great work!
This was a great story. Didn’t see that coming. Loved the sets as they are truly vintage TOS. Great exterior shots. I’m crushing on the first officer as well. Kudos to all involved in this production.
Damn! This was such a Brilliant & Sad story! Well done to everyone involved in the production,R.i.P to the crew of the USS Cherokee,"We barely Got to Know,Her"
USS Cherokee a fitting name, proud to live and proud to die, with utmost honor. I'm impressed with what all that went into this short story, and I don't impress easily. Well done to all.
This is an absolute fantastic video. 23:02 time of total amazement. The actors are on queue. Relatable. Loveable. Vic Mignogna as a Klingon... excellent addition. Glad to see him in action again after Star Trek Continues. The ending was a breath taking moment. I've rewatched this countless times. Good work. I'm proud of you all and privaliged to have found this gem of entertainment. Love you all and thanks for your contribution to the Star Trek Universe. Absoltuely amazing.
Wonderful Episode. It was extremely satisfying to watch a Star Trek show that brought back memories of the way sci fi was done more than half a century ago. It is incredible that a full and refreshing story was achieved in such a short episode.
WOW! I'm shocked! By the events, by the tense and intense final, by the script, acting, and special effects - for some I did instant replays to properly appreciate them. I love the almost silent space scenes, which also gave us expectancy, well done! The captain's duality when treated with considerateness was also very well played. The first officer's immediate responses after the captain's escape are all I wanted to see from every captain or captain in charge! Brilliant! This episode was better than several TOS ones, and it's still echoing inside me. This is what I can articulate by now, beyond this I'm speechless.
You did the best synchronized shook by a torpedo I ever saw! And showing so many people! ^_^ If you don't mind, subtitles (copied from the script) would be a great help to many people, not only in the USA but all over the world.
That was really, really good. Some of the better acting in a Trek fan film, good special effects, and characters acting with understandable motivations.
An excellent and moving example of the darker side of Startrek,where heroism and devotion to duty do not guarantee personal survival,or even a record of such sacrifice. A very real reminder that many such sacrifices have been made in our world. They deserve the highest Honour.
Fabulous! What a poignant ending! Love the fact that I didn't even notice that Vic played Ja'Drok til the credits. What a wimpy voice, almost Ferengi-like. He had to work really hard to go unnoticed like that, and such humility to play the lowest of the low.
I love this fan film! The acting was superb, and even the banter was pulled off naturally and didn't feel awkward like it can do with some fan films. The actors and production crew are amazing, this could have been filmed as a parallel series to TOS, it's that good! SPOILER: I was starting to really like the characters and now you've killed them off. Do I laugh or cry? Please bring them back. ST rarely has a sad ending, so that was a most unexpected twist. There's a lot to take in as the story telling, sets, CGI, costumes, acting, etc, is so polished, then the bombshell at the end! Wow! Congratulations Avalon Universe, this was an incredible production. (I'm cautious about saying it was a truly professional production in case CBS raise their eyebrows!)
To the those involved in this production I want you to know that this was so well executed I wish that this was an actual series. All of you should take pride in what you have accomplished and I’m sure that there are those out here who are standing and saluting your efforts like I am. Take your time and I look forward to the next one! Joe in Pennsylvania
@@skipmorrisAs mentioned by another commenter already, it would be glorious if y'all could create some prequel stories for the USS Cherokee and this cast. 🙏
You Fan Based stories are so much better than anything that paramount or who ever is control now could ever tell. I Beg of You all. Please, live long and prosper! For You tell Masterpieces of story telling!!! THANK YOU for working so hard!
Excellent! Great writing, acting, SFX, editing, costuming... Great job all around. Not that other films from the Avalon universe were bad, but this one really took me aback with the quality.
Wow, best Fan Film I have seen since Star Trek Continues ended, great job Vic and crew! You made me care about a crew I never knew existed 20 minutes ago and brought a tear to my eye.
"From Hell's heart....I stab at thee". Excellent. Thank you for this, well written, well directed, good story. I look forward to Infinite Excallibers on Halloween.
I love those insignia patches! And oh, what a complicated mystery the crew of the Cherokee had to solve -- and whoa, that ending! To completely write off an entire starship?! I'm glad the crew got recognized, but damn! That is some serious business to erase a ship from history.
What a fantastic film! The sets were insanely good and could have been taken straight from the original series. This grounded the film as it was immediately familiar. The tone was exactly how I remembered the OS, how they used to switch from levity to serious in a beat. The writing was good and despite having several characters, all of them were adequately serviced. Well done to everyone involved.
To the Neutral Studios, Vic, and the rest of the crew, FANTASTIC! Very well done with a heart stirring ending. Shout out to Kingsland,GA for having the studio in their little town.
Great job !!!!! Vic returns fan film story and casting back to the quality of Star Trek continues what a dark story great surprise and Vic plays Klingon first officer !!!! Kudos
Simply perfect! A well written story! Goods stories don't need high costs! I hope you bring more little gems like this one! Congrats to everyone there!
I’m back for my 2nd 3rd and 4th plus views of this masterpiece of art. Thank you for keeping it posted. ❤salute all involved. P.S. I still want more I still won’t spoil it WOW it’s good!
Excellent! Seemingly obvious plot that weaves a more intricate subplot seamlessly into the dialogue. Plus it waw fun to see Vic Mignogna as the Klingon officer. Well done!
This is a very good tale. It is just a reminder space can be dangerous and filled with alien enemies fighting for their own protection and resources for their way of life.
Absolutely SUPERB! Even with that brief segment around the 15 minute mark, I never saw that ending coming. Very well done; well written and well acted. This is a tale I will remember. 2 thumbs up; if I had more thumbs I'd up them.👍👍👍
Fantastic story line. And having been an ex Marine. This is how the military does things they want kept secret. My father wasn't the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. And he remembers the CIA coming on board to tell them , that if anyone talks, they'll make sure they disappear. So my father never told us anything till he was nearly seventy. The CIA scared him that bad. And he was a golden glove boxer and was a Bandito, till he left them when he was still young to make sure me and my brother were raised right. He wasn't scared of anything. But the CIA sure did the trick.
Paramount needs to hire Vic to direct some short treks and his own series. This is amazing.
Agreed. Imagine a Paramount sized budget with Vic at the helm of Star Trek? We can dare to dream.
A noble sacrifice. The essense of good drama and good Trek. Thank you!
Wow. I wish Paramount/NBC would pay attention to this sort writing and story telling. Bravo.
You Are Not Alone in that thought......sir....🤔
😎✌🖖/Very Cool Short Story Indeed !!! 👍👍🌠 Nicely Done
STUPID MONOPOLY - LUCAS IS NOT STUPID
This type of story telling wont do to well with the general american audience. Stupid plots , american football , and donald trump is what appeals to the masses.
One of the reasons why this is so so good, is the casting is superb. You got the right people for the right roles, and they played those roles well.
Just a couple of issues. I disliked the first officer from the outset when she said, "Your ship?" To the Captain. Probably a result of writers not understanding anything about military culture. That was a direct assault on the authority of the ship's captain. She should have been taken down a notch immediately.
YEP! Even after all the crap he's been put through, Vic's still flexing that brilliant fan film magic!! Awesome film!!
What crap? I'm new to this. Please elaborate...
Folks - that was a really ambitious swing. It's hard to tell an innovative story in 23 minutes, with clear direction, heading to an emotional payoff - but you did a great job. Yes, there are a few rough edges, but I think you should all be proud of this. Well done!
This is ABSOLUTELY the BEST Star Trek fan fiction film out there!
I think that each member of the cast in this production each deserve a commendation for meritorious performance noted in their file. Also, the exterior shots and effects are just freaking GORGEOUS. They even have the shields that are tight against the hull instead the bubble type that was used in the 90s and earlier shows.
I did the exterior VFX. Thank you! The shield effects were inspired by the newer shows, although you also saw them in ST6 and Nemesis.
Now THAT was a story not done very often in the ST Universe, Avalon or any other. Well executed. Very well done. God Speed USS Cherokee.
😢 R.I.P
,.wish we could have gotten to know more.
That was a fabulously written story. Better than anything I have seen from Star Trek in years.
This was surprisingly logical. Even an inferior opponent will jump at you without alternative options.
Trek is often Quite emotional. This was a very heartbreaking story! 😢
From start to finish...INTRIGUING....WELL PACED....MAGNIFICENT!
Applause!!!
I sit here stunned by what I just saw. This is perhaps the most amazing fan film I've seen to date. To say well done to everyone involved just seems inadequate because well, it is. Everything about it was simply perfect.
I know I was stunned too, had the watch the ending battle 4 times just to absorb it. You're right best fan made film ever!
@@alvermette218 I was used to starship crews finding a last nanosecond way out of situations that I thought that maybe they would do the same. The emotional impact of ramming the Klingon ship does not lessen with rewatching. Vic's closing credit music was just incredible.
@alvermette218 it was good, but Vic has 10 more Star Trek Continues episides, and at least 3 are even better than this. You should watch them.
U Said It! sir...OUTSTANDING JOB INDEED!!😎✌
No, it was gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Wow, what a great production from every aspect of a film (acting, directing, special effects, script) - it was fantastic.
Great job great storyline too....... And all the ladies in the fleet uniforms right down to the boots spectacular especially the first officer .!
I'm stunned. Had it been presented in a movie theater, the audience would have walked out in silence. This is Trek.
TOTALLY UNEXPECTED! I have to admit I sat in stunned silence for a few moments at the end. Very well done!! Here is to the crew of the Cherokee. SALUTE!
SPOILER!
I'm just sad we won't see them again. Good cast. I cared about the characters.
I have no words for how well done this film is. I'd love to see a sequel where this crew could be saved through time travel intervention
Wow, this episode was so unexpected. I had no idea what was happening or where the episode was going. But that ending.... so somber and moving. Well done, well done. This episode was impressive and the music selection was so good. One of the best Star Trek fan episodes anywhere.
Yeah. When that "thing" happened to the captain, I felt anything could happen.
That bridge is a fantastic set. Well done to the builders.
WOW!!!! That may be the best Star Trek I've seen in decades. I was thinking that just before the credits rolled. Then I saw Vic Mignogna was involved and saw part of why.

Much more relaxed acting than most I have seen. Great story and effects. Would be a good series.
Nicely done. Had a nice vintage era TOS tonality with the writing and acting turns with a fun Vic M. cameo. Avalon keeps getting better. Bravo.
