I loved every moment of this. I have missed my old friends - I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw this. I am more than grateful to William Shatner for producing this, everyone who helped, OTY, the Roddenberry Archive, et. al. I will admit to bawling like an infant the first time through. I get misty-eyed each time I watch it. Yes, I wanted a few lines of dialogue, but this was done so well that it had GREAT impact even without a word spoken. I look forward to anything more that they do and hope that we will get so much more. The micro-expressions brought back Jim Kirk in a haunting way because it WAS Kirk as embodied by Shatner. If they can make a live-action version of ST: TAS like they are talking about, I'm in. I'll pay to watch it. I have enjoyed TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise, as well as Prodigy and Lower Decks, but TOS is MY STAR TREK. First love. Can't be topped. The crew of that Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, D or E, is and always will be the crew I love the best.
@@robertmartinjr.4537 Yes and No. The changes in Disco could be attributed to the ongoing Romulan sabotage of Human development through time we see in Strange New Worlds season 2. Which is how they explain why Khan is a kid in the first quarter of the 21st century instead of the last quarter of the 20th century as explained in TOS Space Seed.
@@robertmartinjr.4537 It was wonderfully done, but I wish they would just drop the Kelvin universe and Discovery. They are both made by people who do not understand Star Trek. This Otoy short is actually based on a comic, Early Voyages issue 13 which was published in the late 90s. They could have just stuck to that and there was no need to bring in any Nu-Trek.
I absolutely loved this. This had me moved big time seeing it. I saw Generations when it was initially released in theaters. They did a phenomenal job with this. It's nice to know they actually brought him in for this.
I love the ambiguity and mood of the film. Carlos Baena had a very difficult task set before him and he nailed it. Sam Witwer is a marvelous talent too- there's a moment where Kirk approaches Yor that made my brain light up, as Kirk angles his body slowly to the side as he makes his move. It's so subtle and convincingly captures William Shatner's presence. I could go on about shot-by-shot, it's layered and breathtaking. Thank you for being so generous with your art, all of you.
When they showed Gary Mitchel in the opening scene, I was shocked, and instantly brought back to TOS. Loved it. And I didn't think that Kirk and Spock were looking at a sunset out the window at the end, rather I thought they were looking at what Gary Mitchel was doing out in space, as he could be the cause of all of this. :) Expand upon more of this please.
I saw the video and it is a lovely easter egg for Star Trek fans. The realization that the Original Stars will be all gone very soon. This probably the ending all fans wanted to see. Spock and Kirk going off into the unknown after life. I know Mr Shatner has unresolved grief with Mr Nimoy. This is his gift to put a bow around it. IMO
What an epic work of art, a wonderful tie in to shatnerverse novels, new and old trek, a fitting farewell? To shatner as Kirk, and gives his and Spock's characters closure. It was beautiful. Also great seeing the creators, and Sam W in chat!
This is LOVELY. How can one describe things that can barely be described!!! ...Let's Stream, or something!!! There are some awesome Ideas I have for upcoming Ship Topics! You should *SEE* them!!!
Just watched it. It happened. It finally happened. 30 years. Cried? I sobbed. I wasn't ready for this. I'm still in shock. Gonna need some time here. I can forgive anything that wasn't 'perfect' - The no talking, the occasional off-kilter body movements, the "Nu-Trek". None of that matters. This is so much more, so much bigger than any trivial criticism. So much 'more' than anything that's happened to Star Trek in decades. Thank you to all involved. I didn't know how much I needed this. I loved it. Thank you.
It all seemed to me like it was happening in the NEXUS , '' We leave a part of us behind '' until this nexus Kirk emerges from the nexus to join spock on his death bed in the other universe . 🌹
@@TheDarkPorkins Yes but what about the three Kirks scene ? very dreamy nexus type event , then simply placing the badge on his chest and transporting to Spocks death bed in the other universe ? Remembering those words '' you can go any where , any time , from the nexus . he goes to Spocks death bed . Any way , It was a blast to watch , and i wonder where it will take us next . I loved it anyway . what ever root it takes .
@@colinlllanbadarn2039 I think that was more of a place between time and space. LT Yor transported him into the Kelvin universe. I assume the 3 Kirks was just for effect.
A hauntingly beautiful rendering of the grandeur that the Star Trek universe encompasses. Reminded me of the scenes from Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 film. Definitely revealed yet another emotionally charged moment not seen since the end of Wrath of Khan. Words were not needed. We miss our heroes and want them to be eternal. Everyone wants Kirk and Spock and the crew to continue their journey because it embodies our mortal coil. The characters in this vignette demonstrate how intertwined ever aspect of Star Trek connects to us. Ships, people and places all pieces of our journey into that frontier... 🥲
My favorite part was the three Kirk’s looking at each other. Wasn’t expecting it. Also when it comes to the closure for Kirk and Spock where they don’t talk, I think they don’t need to talk. Their friendship and brotherhood transcends the need to talk where he just needs to be there at Spock’s end. Finally I wish they could have had McCoy there as well. DeForest Kelly was so integral to the overall friendship of Kirk and Spock. And the episode could have ended with them at Yosemite at the camp fire from Star Trek 5.
It could make sense for the season 1 TNG alien to be there, as he's a Traveler and is giving the Nexus Kirk the comm badge to go into the parallel universe and find Spock.
Liked that Saavik lived to be an old woman, possibly until the late 2390s, and Kirk sees her as he never knew her, but still recognizes her. Commander of the first Shangri La class Titan. Heh.
I want to see this sequence added to the end of Generations. It should be placed as Kirk dies and says, "Oh my...." it would be like the Donner Cut of Superman II. I really think fans needed closure like this for Kirk.
There was supposed to be a Crusher (a character somewhere in Unification 765874 in there, but which Crusher? I don't know). I'd say it was Gary Mitchell's way of giving William Shatner to be able to be there for Leonard Nimoy as he passed away. I mean Kirk to be able to be there for Spock as he passed away. Or all of it, all at once.
hey Captian Foley and number one Samuel :) humm Sam may i call you sam ? i am hinting a little dislike for the short film ? humm well yeah the only thing i too critic is 2 things bringing back actors gone like Lenord for example there is a big debate on how ethical it is to do ? your thoughts ? and not much speaking parts but yeah . also Captain Foley one thing i did like is the Lesure planet Bought back ! this could explain the Resurrection of Kirk ! humm i never really thought about it or remembered it ? but it is cool to think that is what bought Kirk back ! :) now all we need is a Star Trek : Kirk series ! have him captian a Kirk class or an Enterprise H or I that would be ineresting :)

@trekyards how long did it take you to CORRECT yourselves and apologize to the still very much alive Gary Lockwood? I stopped watching at 50 minutes 🥱.

It made me cry; it's so good. They even merged the comics storyline into it, and we get to see Spock's son behind Savik.
Me too 🖖🇨🇦
The bridged two universes, TOS, the TOS films, Generations, Discovery, and even the Kelvin universe in 8 minutes. Unreal effort. Just amazing.
3 universes. There's no way moronic Kurtzman "Trek" takes place in the prime universe. It's utterly incompatible.

Also, Gary Lockwood (Gary Mitchell) is still alive. And participated in the filming of this.

DAMN. Nice work boys!
Colt, in a Kelvin timeline uniform, in the Daystrom Station from Picard S3 is interesting...
Colt wearing the Kelvin uniform could mean that she is either from that universe, or she travelled from the Prime universe.
She may be also a Traveler like Wesley Crusher
I love this short film

Just this once it would have been great to see you guys actually watch and react to this
Ha, would be fun but hard to do as were always excited to watch it...make the picture prep then come on and talk.
By the way Michael Giacchino did the music for the short film. The guy who did JJ Trek (and The Batman).

Yay! Hooray for Otoy!!
Enjoyed it immensely, but it would have been nice to have a bit more dialogue to explain it a bit.
This short tells a complete story... Mitchell is making this all happen. Gary Lockwood is NOT dead. 765874 is Colt's SF serial number.

I think it's more like the Q Continuum than the Nexus and it's wonderful.

TrekWeb back in the day would have absolutely loved this coda to Star Trek Generations.
I would have had one of the Kirk's ask the other, "Aren't you dead?"
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻🖖🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿
I just saw a version with a young spock featured at the beginning but now it's "unavailable"...
If Kirk had said to Spock, "I have been and ever shall be your friend "...
The ideas and hints presented were the most elegant, canon stitching writing ballet imginable
I do make the GI Joe joke frequently.
TOS Kirk best Kirk!
Now we need one with McCoy,

I'm wondering if they are going to do a multiversal crossover at some point.
where can i watch this?
I know 765874 is not a stardate, but the serial number on Colt, but if it was, it would be in 3088. :)
Theory Garry bring Kirk and and kavin crew to use them as toys
Was Gary in the crowd of people?
That’s what I thought but it was a character name “Crusher.”
@Robman0908 Wesley?
@ No idea. Just called “Crusher.”
Could be Wesley, Jack or Jack. Who knows.
"OTOY" stands for "On The Origin of Yonder
Where is the link
What does OTOY stand for?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yeah a lot of it is linked to generations and I would think this was officially when Kirk entered the nexus / the other stuff is linked in a way but it’s linked because of the nexus primarily / it’s kind of like the unseen ending to first contact when cochran saw the enterprise e outside the window of the phoenix and that could’ve potentially led to the alternate kelvin timeline that was star trek 09 / I see that as more plausible than the stupid count down comic / but it’s worth noting it’s never actually established how the enterprise e got back to its original timeline without a functional deflector dish at the end of the movie
I think this should be just before Kirk dies and says, "Oh my...." this sequence transcends the Nexus
60th anniversary in 2026?
Kirk's deep fake was dodgy in parts, but still, a great watch
This Kirk video pisses on any trek movies and tv shows since STV ended
You dont like Enterprise huh?
Wrong!
Let otoy do a full cgi original trek.cast movie..tell paramount to go take a powder, and let those who really love trek do this...
am i the only one that not only can’t figure out what on earth they’re even trying to do, but just find it jarring and hard to even look at.
what am i missing here? it just looks (and sounds) terrible and tells me nothing.
I felt the same way but it looks like we're in the minority.
Not to be disrespectful, but this is essentially a moving deepfake with no dialogue or plot. I thought it would be a lot more than that.
