I am 63 and just found this and I love it they were doing a great job with the stories that I have seen since yesterday about time somebody made something that doesn't have foul language blowing people's brains out great job keep it up
I know that this episode have been on TH-cam for a long time, but I just have say that is was excellently done. The scenery, effects ,and acting was truly impressive. Thank you for keeping the spirit of TOS alive!
I remember,I saw this episode,before!Sometime’s,I forget that I’ve already seen this!Well,at any rate,it’s a different take on our beloved Star Trek!And,it does look 👀 and feel like the late ⏰ 1960”s serie’s!Two thumb’s up,here!I used to watch;Star Trek re-runs back in the early 1970”s.And,I enjoyed reading 📖 the James Blish serie’s of Star ⭐️ Trek book’s,too!Too,watching these series,is better than what you see on television,today!
hey, comment from eight years ago! I actually just jumped in to the Star Trek Fandom and i haven't watched most of TOS, mostly because i don't really feel it, but i'd rather watch this through before I have to go back. It's kinda cool
@@rickhernandez3803 Both are good fan series. Just wish both were still going instead of having being forced to end due to BS rules from CBS regarding fan productions ie they didn't want fans making better Star Trek than anything they cranked out.
The attention and care that goes into these productions is just stunning. The look and feel are great but what is most impressive is that it has the tone down pat.
Our series is a continuation of the original 5 year mission with the original crew. In other words, this is season 4 of Star Trek TOS. Some of our episodes are using original unused scripts from that period.
Wow, original scripts unused ...means gems of original team ...how exciting to produce ..? !! Thank you very much ...I have watched these your series 2 and 3 times already ...still enjoy the "experience" of the stories portrayed. 💌
@startreknewvoyages You have no idea how badly I wish that Paramount would come back, watch this, and then pick this up using every single cast member, writer, producer just like the first Star Trek movies did when they insisted on all the original cast. This cast is the best I've ever seen at capturing that elusive feeling of TOS's cast. It's so good it makes me sick to realize that those morons in Hollywood were fools enough to shut this down rather than see it as the gold mine it is.
I was 19 yr old when Star Trek premiered. Now 50 yrs later, I am still a fan of the series. These fan episodes are very interesting, and truly worth watching. They keep ST fresh in my memories.
Indeed. Infact Gene Rodenberry himself would be proud of films like Phase2/New Voyages especialy with it continuing where Gene and Desilu Studios left off long ago.
The episodes are also shown and downloadable from our website www.stnv.de as well as on vimeo. The episodes are also shown at Star Trek conventions. The next will be ComicCon in Frankfurt.
Another solid addition to the original series. One of the most impressive aspects of these episodes is the impeccable playing of Captain Kirk by James Cawley, without which the every other effort would be wasted. He brings the same intelligence, the same sly humour, the same ready decisiveness, the same integrity and rational fairness, the same intensity, without it seeming like an act, but as if it is coming naturally from himself. Bravo, Mr Cawley!
It is not a impeccable portray of Kirk. It is terrible, if you like kirk against the defiant it is fine. but it all makes little sense, love the story hate the direction. "a previously unexplored" Its just unexplored.. if they have been attacking the Eagle, they know it is too hard, so dont cry when you lose 200 people, you already knew you had no chance. I love these fan based shows, Hate that they have not learnt from NBC?
Do you prefer this "gem" of JJ Abrams over to Gene Roddenbery who made the original Star Trek a true gem such as like Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9 or VOY to mention a few?
What a pleasure to recognize Barbara Luna. I was already enjoying the show, she made it special. Especially enjoyed the look and feel of the original series.
What a labor of love! Thanks for this--am now subscribed to both your channels. I am especially impressed with the performance of the guy who plays Kirk who is equal parts channeling Shatner's take, and also finding his own way in the role. Great stuff. It's manifest throughout how much the whole team loves Star Trek.
I am not sure I understand your question. We are making full episodes of Star Trek TOS - this is not a comedy or parody, but a continuation of the original 5 year mission.
These episodes are real good. In many ways perfectly aligned to TOS, but very creative at the same time. It takes a bit to get used to the characters but once you pass that you are back to the classic startrek universe. It is refreshing... Congrats.
I miss this fan series so much. I come back to it every year or so and it reminds me of when I was young and first saw Star Trek. Peace and long life, everyone.
It’s like watching an unending series of my favorite show, like it never left, only this time it’s with the gadgets that Star Trek made real for us today. This is awesome! A good story like the original. God bless Gene Roddenberry for his vision of a possible future for us all. Great Episode gentleman. I did not know these shows were on TH-cam but now I can watch them and my favorite show from the past. Thanks so much.
Not surprising, he was Zachary Quinto's double on the two Star Trek movies made by JJ. It was during the filming of the first movie that James got to know him on set and offered him the job of Spock on Phase II.
"...someone that you love so much." To the writers, thank you for that line. You helped me realize that my deep depression I've been going through hasn't been about the people who I've lost or who hurt me or whatever, but it's about the love that I lost when I lost them. It's the missing piece to the puzzle of what I've been going through. Thank you for giving me this.
CGI is quite good, and a nice homage to the original series. Acting ranges from okay to amateurish, but considering it's fan made for the fans, overall, well done. Always nice to see Barbara Luna again...excellent job on her part.
Been a year maybe two since I watched this episode and damn am I glad I'm watching it again, what a great job you guys did and for such a long time. I enjoyed watching you improve immensely over your series run and truly believe you all got screwed badly by multiple groups which robbed us of so much more good adventures. Not comparing your shows but Star Trek Continues probably never would have happened without your trailblazing. James Cawley I know you didn't think you were good enough at times to play Kirk but you were dead wrong, your passion and love made you a great Kirk. I still have posters from your appearance at Riverside Iowa. Dang could we use more of your episodes now with the state of Trek today. Still super enjoyable and fun.
I just started watching these New Voyages episodes. I really love them! I just shared them with my mom, who sat and watched the original episodes with me when I was growing up. Fantastic job, so nostalgic! I really love them. Keep it up.
Thanxalot for using original background music cues soundtracks from star trek.I grew up watching the series during first run on NBC during the 1960s and I have no complaints with this production except to say THANXALOT.
I was hooked from the beginning of this episode! Its just like watching the original Star Trek, like a lost episode or something. The actor playing Kirk has his habits too - the factual expressions, etc. And the more I watch the more Bones looks like Bones! The action, excitement, the dramatic music and all the risk. Classic Star Trek for sure! I had no idea this even was on youtube. Glad it was recommended to me today!
This is awesome! You have managed to recreate everything almost perfectly. I even love the over acting and the dramatic music where a commercial would be inserted. Bravo!
LOL at myself. I thought at the beginning it was all a bit amateurish, and in a way it is. BUT, I couldn't stop watching and now I want to see more. Congratulations.
This is extraordinary! Just the external space scenes alone are worth a look, but everything here is top notch! I actually feel like I just watched a great episode from the original series! Keep up the good work everybody!
It really is extraordinary. It's the writing for me, it's as good as any of the official series and a step up from many of the derivatives. This just proves that if the writing and story is up to scratch, everything else falls into line (not to say the rest doesn't take a lot of work, but hey). ...Boggles my mind how often huge productions seem to think they can just gloss over a poor story or badly written dialogue - but then, it makes this all the more inspiring.
@@JesseP.Watson I agree with you on the writing, but this show is really firing on all cylinders. The exquisite detail of the sets and costumes, the space battle scenes, it's really flawless. They even captured the exact right level of cheesiness to match the original--not campy and ridiculous, yet not wrecking the show by attempting to paper it over and make it look "realistic" or "gritty" to cram original Trek into the box of current cinematic sensibilities. It really is like somebody got into Gene Roddenberry's basement and found a few cans of film containing another season of Star Trek, but with different actors.
@@kevincrady2831 As you say, the mode of acting, the cinematography, composure of shots, choreography, camera angles, lighting... the whole lot is so true to the star trek original form, it's jaw dropping. ...But they didn't let all that stylistic attention to detail cloud the need for really good writing as the *foundation* for all that. ...And that's a surprisingly rare ethic.

Because I'm so often shocked to see that good sense absent, in huge, multi million productions. The a script is the first thing there, the core of the project, it's the bit that costs almost nothing and improving upon it likewise - it takes one guy, a pencil and a bit of time to get right or to fix. ...And yet so often a blatantly flawed/unfinished script is allowed to go into production and all the work following on from that is so obviously doomed to failure because you NEVER see a public, kids or adults both, come out of a theatre or cinema and say: "Wow!

Point being. This is an 'amateur' production but they have their heads screwed on far better than a lot of professionals in that sense.
All of you do a great job on Star Trek, this was my favorite show back in the late 60s when the networks didn't think it would go over well, man were they all wrong.
Incredible special effects! These episodes are like discovering the original series I remember growing up with as a kid! I recall Barbara Luna from Star Trek's Season Two episode, 'Mirror, Mirror. These 'New Voyages' resurrect a lot of the magic of Gene Roddenberry's iconic series, and though the actors are different, they have a way of refreshing the memories that have endeared 'Star Trek' to millions of fans worldwide! I am fortunate to have grown up during the birth of the phenomena that has survived and become enriched through fifty years of 'boldly going where no man has gone before!' Oh! A little note of irony here: I recognize some of the music from another landmark TV series from the sixties: 'The Invaders!'
I also recognize the endorian with the horn’s like a unicorn on it’s head.He was in the original series,too.He poisoned himself with slow poison in the original episode.But,I don’t know the titles name.
The special effects are fantastic. For a modest budget fan made series they do an excellent job. It just proves that being creative in pursuit of a labor of love goes a long way.
Phase II is a fan-film series made by dedicated Star Trek fans. The scripts mainly come from original Star Trek authors like D.C. Fontana, David Gerrold, David Galanter, etc.
Hey it's great seeing connections to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek: The Next Generation!!!!! The wormhole effects looked excellent!!!!! Thanks for making connections!!!!! IT gives a sense of continuity!!!!!!
Fabulous work and enthusiasm to all of you who volunteered your time and passions to keep "star trek" alive and going. I enjoyed every moment of your creations. Thank you so much for all of this. You did a terrific job making this seem so real and "come alive". All the best! sincerely, John
This is absolutely what many of us having been seeking since Paramount has done nothing but but out one disastrous series after another! it's like watching The Original Series, Thank The Maker (Gene Roddenberry) and You So Very Much!
I saw the beginning of "Star Trek: TOS" (1966). Of course there's different "players" in this new series, but it's almost like the original 55 years ago😍.
It's like time traveling back to the 1960s & discovering a whole bunch of lost episodes . ( with the benefit of 21st century special effects !!! ) Awesome work on the writing , acting & production .
This is the second time I have seen these in a year and I am still very impressed. All the characters talk and act true to form and the stories are intriguing. Real Star Trek. As preteens my friends used to sit around and invent episode stories together, "beaming down" to the backyard and running around like a mad bunch of hatters. Good thing nobody had cameras back then 😎 (or was it? 🤔).
Out standing work. By every measure you capture the look,and feel of the original series. The actors have captured the delivery, cadence and body language of the original performers.. This is what I have waited 40 years to see.Not another spin off (good as some of them were) but new episodes of the original show and characters that I fell in love with. Special effects, camera work, script writing are outstanding. I intend to eagerly devour every one and hope for more and more. Bravo!!
This episode, the CGI opening scene - "WOW" Beautiful work!!! saved a screenshot of that!!! I just found this site a few days ago and have watched up to this episode. For a fan made series I think they have done a good job on recreating the look & feel of the original series, I wasn't so sure about it the 1st couple of episodes, but it has gotten better with each episode. I just don't know how they can afford to produce a series of this quality since no one is getting paid!!! The CGI, Scripts, & even the Acting is getting better with each episode, yeah, some of the actors are over acting, but so did Shatner in TOS, & what the hell, they're not getting paid, so what do you want for free!!!
I watched all your shows and I loved them all. The show took me back to my childhood. ALL of the actors and support crew made this project work. You got you feet wet in this production. Take that creativity and start a non Star trek project.
this whole serie is a gem, congratulations for the wonderful work you all did ! And talking about this episode, the federation starship covered in that armour looks totally "armed and dangerous" ! I'd like to see some episode with the enterprise covered in that armor
Y’know, other fan films might be more “exceptional”, might have a more epic story or what have you, but this? This is just a perfect, competent. Exciting story that would have absolutely worked as an original series story, much more so than any other fan film I’ve ever seen.
This was really good and I'm not even a Star Trek fan.. for a while there I felt like I was watching the old Star Trek with the original actors.. it was really good I was quite impressed
John Kelley really captures McCoy's spirit. A bit harsher, a bit more brash, but he's got that "feel." Cowley as Kirk is just splendid - he FEELS like another William Shatner. Having some of the other side characters in there like Pete Kirk (who clearly has The Kirk Charm, if you saw the episode before this), Xon, Prescott and the rest just makes the ship feel like "more."
I think the allure of the original version of Star Trek was the telling of the story, the special effects were pretty hoky by today's standards, the acting wasn't great, but it took our imaginations into the future and submerged us into the story. Unfortunately, some contemporary versions dazzle you with special effects but the story line is weak. James Cawley and his friends have successfully captured the vintage appeal of TOS and refreshed it with upgraded effects and CGI, without losing the emphasis on the story line. It's a series for fans by fans, well done.
@Columbus1152 ... another allure of the original was that we had not yet walked on the moon....there was so much talk of it, of course, because it was coming in the near future...Star Trek started in 66 and the moon walk was 69....it got our imaginations going and inspired us to believe we really could at least walk on the moon LOL...it was good timing for the times
@@iamkurgan1126 I used to watch it with my dad when my mom was out. We both knew we shouldn't have been watching it but neither of us told on each other. It's hard to imagine know but Kirt banging ever green, blue or orange space princess (and Bond movies) was considered almost soft porn back then. Honest! There I stood in my footie pajamas, lusting after space chicks and pretending I was Captain Kirt (the Ladies Man of Space). I'm not saying I stopped, just saying when my love for women (of all colors) started.
@@GabrielKish Absolutely. The social standards of the day were as you said. The kicker is the scantilly clad females (tame for todays audience lol) DID NOT distract from the story. Your brain was actually entertained more than your loins! See that done as skillfully by "modern" productions!!!!! Not likely.
I actually got into this, I really assumed this would be cheesy and unwatchable... but actually got me glued. Well done, can tell this is a labor of love.
I am 63 and just found this and I love it they were doing a great job with the stories that I have seen since yesterday about time somebody made something that doesn't have foul language blowing people's brains out great job keep it up

Honestly, that was as good as any TOS episode. Thanks to all who made it! So enjoyable. Live long and prosper!
Just discovered this series today - thank you for making a 60 year old feel like 12 again.
I absolutely loved the sixties steam punk jammer gadget near the start. It is SO Trek! Spock just reaches out and snaps it in pieces. Perfect
Incredible special effects! These episodes are like discovering the original series I remember growing up with as a kid! I recall Barbara Luna from Star Trek's Season Two episode, 'Mirror, Mirror. These 'New Voyages' resurrect a lot of the magic of Gene Roddenberry's iconic series, and though the actors are different, they have a way of refreshing the memories that have endeared 'Star Trek' to millions of fans worldwide! I am fortunate to have grown up during the birth of the phenomena that has survived and become enriched through fifty years of 'boldly going where no man has gone before!' Oh! A little note of irony here: I recognize some of the music from another landmark TV series from the sixties: 'The Invaders!'
That's where I know her from. Been racking my brain the episode.Thank you !
Yes,this is;Barbra Luna from the episode;Mirror,Mirror!
I also recognize the endorian with the horn’s like a unicorn on it’s head.He was in the original series,too.He poisoned himself with slow poison in the original episode.But,I don’t know the titles name.
The special effects are fantastic. For a modest budget fan made series they do an excellent job. It just proves that being creative in pursuit of a labor of love goes a long way.
No they’re not. Its for shit
@@slerickson01 Jog on jagoff.
Wow just saw this!!! Thank you from the bottom of my HEART!
Phase II is a fan-film series made by dedicated Star Trek fans. The scripts mainly come from original Star Trek authors like D.C. Fontana, David Gerrold, David Galanter, etc.
Hey it's great seeing connections to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek: The Next Generation!!!!! The wormhole effects looked excellent!!!!! Thanks for making connections!!!!! IT gives a sense of continuity!!!!!!
The music prompts / cues are so reminiscent. Having a real actress from TOS is excellent..........
Great fun, continuous action, twists and turns of brawn and cunning drive.
Fabulous work and enthusiasm to all of you who volunteered your time and passions to keep "star trek" alive and going. I enjoyed every moment of your creations. Thank you so much for all of this. You did a terrific job making this seem so real and "come alive". All the best! sincerely, John
This is great! This is way better than I thought. A lot of effort was put into this. Hope you guys make more of these awesome shows. :)
i watched the original series when i was a kid.. but this new one is so awesome and bring back old memories.. thanks
This is absolutely what many of us having been seeking since Paramount has done nothing but but out one disastrous series after another! it's like watching The Original Series, Thank The Maker (Gene Roddenberry) and You So Very Much!
This is the second episode I've watched. I'm not watching in order. VERY enjoyable! My compliments to the entire crew!
Brilliant! Loved it. Great job. Thanking you for your efforts.
This puts the networks to shame!!! Beautifully done! Please continue!!!
I saw the beginning of "Star Trek: TOS" (1966). Of course there's different "players" in this new series, but it's almost like the original 55 years ago😍.
It's like time traveling back to the 1960s & discovering a whole bunch of lost episodes . ( with the benefit of 21st century special effects !!! ) Awesome work on the writing , acting & production .
I've got to say, that as an original Trekkie, I LOVE THIS SERIES! Thank you so much for doing them! Live Long and Prosper!
The golden age of fan films. I miss those days and congratulate the part James cawley's team played in it.
This is the second time I have seen these in a year and I am still very impressed. All the characters talk and act true to form and the stories are intriguing. Real Star Trek.
As preteens my friends used to sit around and invent episode stories together, "beaming down" to the backyard and running around like a mad bunch of hatters. Good thing nobody had cameras back then 😎 (or was it? 🤔).
They are doing a good job very enjoyable to watch old school star trek
"Two Kirks, god must be punishing me."
i Have Seen 5 Different Kirks
Knew this was available for a long time but never got around to watching until tonight. It is a satisfying Star Trek tale. Thanks!
This is so much better than anything CBS or Abrams is turning out now. Thank you!
You say that as if you think this is some kind of hard task . . .
I’ve enjoyed this serie”s since I’ve seen it a year ago.It”s like our old Star Trek that we know and ❤️ love!
Watch "Going Boldly" and you will see how the old gal looks after our SFX guru Tobias Richter gave her a refit - simply beautiful.
This is, hands down, one of the best episodes you've done so far.
Congratulations. Excelent, a very beautiful tribute to STAR TREK and their original crew.
I just came across this video, it really gives the feeling of the first series. Well done!
GREAT JOB to all parties involved in this project/series!!
Keep up the good work!! :-)
Out standing work. By every measure you capture the look,and feel of the original series. The actors have captured the delivery, cadence and body language of the original performers..
This is what I have waited 40 years to see.Not another spin off (good as some of them were) but new episodes of the original show and characters that I fell in love with. Special effects, camera work, script writing are outstanding. I intend to eagerly devour every one and hope for more and more. Bravo!!
This is excellent. These people should be funded, instead of Hollywood churning out the usual things, by the usual people.
This was a real good one!! I love how you guys used all the great original Star Trek background music too in all your episodes.
This episode, the CGI opening scene - "WOW" Beautiful work!!! saved a screenshot of that!!! I just found this site a few days ago and have watched up to this episode. For a fan made series I think they have done a good job on recreating the look & feel of the original series, I wasn't so sure about it the 1st couple of episodes, but it has gotten better with each episode. I just don't know how they can afford to produce a series of this quality since no one is getting paid!!! The CGI, Scripts, & even the Acting is getting better with each episode, yeah, some of the actors are over acting, but so did Shatner in TOS, & what the hell, they're not getting paid, so what do you want for free!!!
What a gem. Love your production. You have a new fan 🤩
The sets, effects all good
I watched all your shows and I loved them all. The show took me back to my childhood. ALL of the actors and support crew made this project work. You got you feet wet in this production. Take that creativity and start a non Star trek project.
It was great how they referred to Freeman's death and the effect it has had on Peter since the last episode!

Apparently they’re going for a semi-episodic approach. It works for them.
The episode’s of;Star Trek new voyage’s are just what I need for my entertainment for the summer!Two thumb’s ⬆️ up!
Barbara Luna was in the original series in the episode 'Mirror, Mirror'
A lot better then most of them New Voyages and Star Trek Continues are about the only two worth watching
Yes Barbara Luna starred as the captain woman in mirror mirror 10/07/67. Cool how Barbara star's again in fan based trek. You go girl.
I thought she looked familiar. At first I thought she was the Romulan Commander from "Enterprise Incident", but I am terrible at actor names LOL
Starred, not stared
Did anyone realise that the knife she pulled on her crewman was same as the one from mirror, mirror?
@@timothybird5817 didn't catch that! Well done my man!!
She's almost like a female Kahn lol
i am symply amazed this is way to underratet and deserves more attention
And yet another episode that brings back 'that feeling'.
I love you guys for doing this.
Thanks! (up to the next...)
Excellent treatment of TOS. The original music is the best way to go. It's a real treat seeing Barbara Luna.
So while the Enterprise is being attacked by enemy ships, Kirk calmly recommends going and having a beer ! Now I have seen everything !
this whole serie is a gem, congratulations for the wonderful work you all did ! And talking about this episode, the federation starship covered in that armour looks totally "armed and dangerous" ! I'd like to see some episode with the enterprise covered in that armor
Y’know, other fan films might be more “exceptional”, might have a more epic story or what have you, but this? This is just a perfect, competent. Exciting story that would have absolutely worked as an original series story, much more so than any other fan film I’ve ever seen.
You all are doing an absolutely incredible job with your interpretation; thanks for your commitment to the craft!
This was really good and I'm not even a Star Trek fan.. for a while there I felt like I was watching the old Star Trek with the original actors.. it was really good I was quite impressed
Agreed.
@@strangemeasuremusic (With my best Scottish bough) Aye, that it be, laddie!
John Kelley really captures McCoy's spirit. A bit harsher, a bit more brash, but he's got that "feel." Cowley as Kirk is just splendid - he FEELS like another William Shatner. Having some of the other side characters in there like Pete Kirk (who clearly has The Kirk Charm, if you saw the episode before this), Xon, Prescott and the rest just makes the ship feel like "more."
Just revisited to watch this again. A great job everyone.
I think the allure of the original version of Star Trek was the telling of the story, the special effects were pretty hoky by today's standards, the acting wasn't great, but it took our imaginations into the future and submerged us into the story. Unfortunately, some contemporary versions dazzle you with special effects but the story line is weak. James Cawley and his friends have successfully captured the vintage appeal of TOS and refreshed it with upgraded effects and CGI, without losing the emphasis on the story line. It's a series for fans by fans, well done.
@Columbus1152 ... another allure of the original was that we had not yet walked on the moon....there was so much talk of it, of course, because it was coming in the near future...Star Trek started in 66 and the moon walk was 69....it got our imaginations going and inspired us to believe we really could at least walk on the moon LOL...it was good timing for the times
It did all that while also giving us hot poon to scope. Another reason the sjw star treks have failed.
@@iamkurgan1126 I used to watch it with my dad when my mom was out. We both knew we shouldn't have been watching it but neither of us told on each other.
It's hard to imagine know but Kirt banging ever green, blue or orange space princess (and Bond movies) was considered almost soft porn back then.
Honest!
There I stood in my footie pajamas, lusting after space chicks and pretending I was Captain Kirt (the Ladies Man of Space).
I'm not saying I stopped, just saying when my love for women (of all colors) started.
@@GabrielKish
Absolutely. The social standards of the day were as you said. The kicker is the scantilly clad females (tame for todays audience lol) DID NOT distract from the story. Your brain was actually entertained more than your loins! See that done as skillfully by "modern" productions!!!!! Not likely.
Yesssss! Its sooooo goooood. This is the perfect drug for an old Star Trek watcher. Be blessed you wonderful people!
