  • Searching for a starship in distress, the crew of the Starship U.S.S. Exeter finds a destroyed starbase and a deepening mystery. Has an enemy species from Captain Garrovick's past invented the ultimate weapon, or is the truth even stranger and more deadly?
    Shot in 2004, this film was intended to recreate the style of a 1969 TV show, right down to the lighting, rubber-suited aliens, and the look of photo-optical visual effects. Contact: starshipexeter@gmail.com

    E X E T E R F A Q :
    -The actors are amateurs doing it out of love, so cut them some slack
    -There IS a volume drop problem with Act One, but there's no way to fix it on TH-cam
    -The film was shot in 2004 but the post-production got dragged out for years because people were working on it in their free time and have-ya know-lives
    -The Exeter is NCC-1706 as it was in the Star Fleet Technical Manual; the TOS remastered number was applied five years after we released our first episode in 2002 ("The Savage Empire")
    -Our sets were custom built at Austin Studios and have no connection to other fanfilm series (though we donated the bridge to other productions), and shot next door to the Mike Judge film "Idiocracy"
    -This is the same Exeter seen in "The Omega Glory", hence the lizard's line "You command the unwanted starship filled with the ghosts of a dead crew."
    -The rectangular badges are based on those seen on the Exeter crew in "The Omega Glory"
    -Our Captain Garrovick is the nephew of the deceased Captain Garrovick and cousin to Lt. Garrovick from "Obsession"
    -There won't be any more episodes

      Acting: Shatner style dialed up to 11. No complaints. The Set, costumes, and CGI was dead on as the TOS. That took a lot of effort.

    2 MILLION VIEWS! Honestly, we never expected this little labor of love would still be getting watched 9 years after the whole thing was finally completed, and 19 years after it was originally filmed. Thanks to those who understand that making something like this, largely with amateurs and enthusiasts, is tough. To the rest: thanks for watching-even if you didn't like it. And to those who feel the need to make mean and belittling comments, consider the mantra from Everything Everywhere All At Once: Be Kind.

      @@bencoss7003 I think you're being unfair. The slick, polished sci-fi you see on Netflix or other such places costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to produce. They use highly trained actors that they've hand picked from thousands who've auditioned for the roles, the tech people they use are also very highly trained, and have gone through a long apprenticeship. They spend hundreds and hundreds of man-hours putting it all together. It's more than a full time job.
      The people who make these fan productions are all amateurs using their spare cash, and fitting it into their schedules that are filled with the work they have to do to live. This isn't their career, they've had relatively little or no training.
      Seen from that perspective, these fan productions are miraculous. They actually approach (in some ways) the level of entertainment the expensive shows attain. Yes, there are flaws, but that's not at all due to a lack of effort of creativity.

Is the acting perfect? Well, maybe not, but then I've watched a number of these fan made episodes, while I've avoided almost all of the "professionally made" Star Trek material since Voyager ended. I find these far more superior and enjoyable.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Gene Roddenberry would be pleased. I can think of no higher praise! I'm 63 years old now, and I watched Star Trek (before it was ever referred to as "TOS" - and before it went into reruns) as a grade-school kid in the 1960s. I feel that I just watched my first new TOS episode in over a half-century, and it ranks up there with my favorite episodes (e.g., The Enterprise Incident, the Doomsday Machine, and the Changeling).

    I had seen the other pro quality fan series a while back, but somehow, this one slipped through the cracks, until today. Exeter is very well done. I enjoy the fact that it is set "beside" the adventures of the Enterprise, not "in place" of. These are new characters, and that makes it for me.
    Since it has been 3 years, and now with CBS new policies, I doubt we will see more episodes. I would much rather see episodes of Exeter, than Discovery.

      @@dankuchar6821 no, Discovery is about signaling "social justice" without actually addressing or exploring anything in an intelligent way. The original Star Trek would take a timely theme and look at it in a dramatic fashion, not just say "look! we're righteous!"

      I agree with you completely. Star trek was the first showed up portray an interracial kiss. It did some good things that way. But it wasn't about preaching and showing moral superiority. Or at least attempting to. Discovery is just way over the top. Too much of television is like that now. It's just Hollywood trying to slam their social agenda on everybody else. It's just not appealing to me. I wish they could get back to telling good stories. Thanks for your comment. I think your spot on.

      TheStarshipExeter Frankly, I don't know what to say. You know that it's about chemistry between actors, sex appeal, emotional conflict, heartache, and such. It's like a group of ensemble actors. It reminds me of being on stage. Then you kind of expanded out from there, not starting at the special effects you could pull off, which were good, and then come up with some story. Yeah, it reminded me of when I was onstage, doing some serious acting with some good people. Tight performances all the way around, with the slightest bit of film noir. 5 Stars.

I feel some others here below have been somewhat unkind about the acting, I found it generally competent and the plot seemed entirely consistent with many of those from the initial 2 seasons of Star Trek. Overall, I applaud what I consider a very worthy effort.
