Mr. Irwin, how many times did the various actors 'slip' into the wrong 'reality character' during a scene. Seems very complicated to keep it all organized.
Holy jeez, all the crossovers, alternate universe I didn't expect!!! Full of Easter eggs everywhere. Very well done and amazing collaboration by everyone involved. Excellent work.
-The Orville -JJ Abrams Star Trek Constitution Class -Battlestar Galactica -Earth Alliance Starship Excalibur from Crusade -Earth Alliance Heavy Cruiser Hyperion from Babylon 5 I love it! Did anybody else find any others?
This film is a mammoth achievement and obviously a labor of love. A true celebration of fandom of all stripes, showing that, while we occupy our own corners of the multiverse, the bonds that tie us together remain strong.
Yes Indeed! We're all in this together! And this film could not have happened without all the people LIKE YOU, that that gave of themselves to make it happen! Thank you Greg!
Thank you, C.W. Thompson for helping ensure the absolute stellar efforts of Joshua Irwin make it to completion! As a fan of the Avalon Universe, I appreciate all who give of their time, talent and provide critical funding to bring the true miracle of Star Trek Fan Films to be publicly streamed on RUclips! You help amplify the voice of Star Trek Fans everywhere, truly allowing Gene Roddenberry’s vision of Infinite Diversity, infinite Combinations come to life, by allowing all people from all walks of life to play a part in depicting the continuing stories of the collective dream of a bright and hopeful future of humanity, where we have mastered spreading out into the universe, a future, where humankind will not be dependent solely on our fragile planet and solar system!
This is such a fantastic film, probably the best of the Avalon Universe that I have seen. It's truly a smorgasbord of Sci-Fi delights for fans of Star Trek, GalaxyQuest, Battlestar Galactica and The Orville (did I miss anything)? It's a great technical achievement in so many ways. My hats off to everyone that was involved, especially to Joshua Irwin. I even appreciate the small clip from Borg Hunters showing up, so I feel like we are a tiny part of this film as well. I don't know what you can do for an encore but I'm sure you'll find a way.
You missed Babylon 5/Crusade, Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers (the Dub of SBY), and Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. I can't wait to see this special fan film
There's also a Reaper from Mass Effect at about 33:29 and a Corellian Corvette and a TIE bomber (I think) around the 28 minute mark. I could've sworn I saw Starbug from Red Dwarf on my first watch but on a quick scan-through I can't seem to find it. I'd love to imagine a very hard-pressed Kryten trying to explain what the smeg was going on to The Cat and Lister.
Thank you, Avalon Universe Fan Films. The Star Trek Fan Film community is wonderfully represented by this production. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this fun fandom adventure. Your work here expresses your love for Star Trek as well as giving a little something for everyone who loves the science fiction genre. Every quantum version of myself thoroughly enjoyed this production.
What a great film! It is enormous, both in scale and execution! I can't wait to watch again to see all the things I missed! Flash references, the "collie," I loved it all!
I cheered like a schoolgirl seeing N*Sync in 1997, seeing an _Excalibur_ from _The Orville_ added to a Stargate and various Trek universes. You guys ROCK SOX! Okay, I screamed like my mom did when she saw Neil Diamond in concert, when I saw the Babylon 5 universe. This could never get produced by a "real" studio - there's too many IP's here that simply wouldn't allow it. So, I can only thank you from the bottom of my Cheeto-fingered, Mt. Dew flooded, Nerdy heart for this. I'd say this ranks up there with _Of Gods And Men_ for Fan Productions of reach, vision, and polish.
Barely 10 minutes in, and loving it! Can't wait to see if any of the characters mention asymetrical, inverted, phased, stabled, and universal. XD Also, great job presenting adversity to overcome that isn't simply some Nefarious Faction, (as much as I love to see antagonists). Engaging like a page turner of a book! :D
I really expected this to be rubbish but it was a fun ride. Loved the ISS Captain, my kinda girl, and the Elvis dude really grew on me. Best part for me, the Liberty, from Blakes 7. These guys know and love their S-F. Best Star Trek we've seen in along time.
I wont lie, I saw a federatiom vessel side to side to my Yamato class space battleship and i jumped in, already happy about the idea and expecting anything, at the end, I think this is my new favorite Fan-made movie.
I am just amazed at how damned good that was! Even being there for a lot of the filming, I still am boggled by the scope of this. I love all the callouts to all the Fandoms out there. I am going to have to rewatch this many, many times to see all the Easter eggs you included. Bravo Maestro! This is certainly your masterpiece. I feel so proud to have been a part of this in my small ways. ❤🎉🎉
WOW! This film has everything that is wonderful and wholesome about this beautiful, crazy, diverse universe of science fiction, comedy, and fandom! A passionate labor of love that is the reflection of so many passionate labors of love (correct grammar?). It was such an honor to play a small part in this highly creative multiverse. Dilithum UP! I'd love to do a "Cetacean Observations" on the whole Cosmic Data Stream of this adventure, but I'm pretty sure that the notepad required would not fit in our known universe. A fan-film of fan-films of films. It's fan-films all the way up. Thank you, Josh and everyone!!
Yes, your grammar is fine, thanks for caring! Amongst all my other fandoms, I'm a fan of at least passably good English. I try not to be a grammar "Nazi," but truly appreciate people who give a $#!+ about it. And I heartily agree about the monumental effort and quality and passion that went into this great film.
Perfectly executed, logical multi-layered and fun story! Quite an accomplishment and well worth the wait! I applaud the huge amount of work and talent it must have took to put this together. Love to see the MAKING OF INFINITE EXCALIBURS!
@@joshuairwin2016 I can guess which TNG episode and the events of this fan film is based on. TNG Episode Parallels if im not mistaken were a Quantum portal breaks down the barriers between quantum realities in the multiverses causing various Enterprise Ds from other universes in that TNG episode to appear is the only TNG episode in my eyes that most likely inspired this fan film. I mean just like in that TNG episode here in this Fan Film many scenarios indeed happened hell in a parallel universe the Excalibur would have gone thru a refit and become the tmp Excalibur.
Wow lots of people from across the Star Trek Fan Film community in this extremely well written, directed, produced and acted along with great CGI and musical score film with so many comical moments as well as the serious ones and makes this one of the very best out there to date, well done to everyone involved you should be proud of the result of all your time and effort. You never cease to amaze me with the highest of quality productions and you raise the bar with every production ........ i feel honoured having being invited to an early viewing.
indeed but LOL a JJ Connie would the name Excalibur was kinda amusing XD though their antimater containment field failing that excalibur from the JJverse/kelvin timeline didint last quite long to stick around for much of a convo
What an ABSOLUTELY fun fan film featuring so many appearances by those involved. A testament to the cooperation and overarching sense of community. It was great to see characters from across different groups come together for film that pays tribute to all the Sci-Fi franchises I personally enjoy. Thanks for the continuing hard work.
I really appreciate everything you did to help us behind the scenes! It's people like you that make fan films happen! And all without taking credit for it too. Seriously, Thank you!
First comment! Yessss! Lol This was such an honor to be a part of and I kno what it took for you to get this made. I'm very proud of you josh and very proud of all involved. This was a great fan film and really set the bar
Excellent work everyone and its always great to see creators foster the spirit of community with the various fan film series/actors coming together. Special thanks to everyone involved for making a fun-filled adventure that is quite fitting during the holiday season.
Great film! Thanks for making it over 40 minutes. I look forward to seeing the commentary. It was great to see the original Battlestar Galactica, and the Yamato 🎉
I've been dodging this thinking it may be a cheesy fan film, now I am subscribed. This is as good as official Star Trek, sometimes even better, acting, plot and effects, thanks for the Star Trek fix! I needed that!
So cool! Congratulations Josh and everyone who worked on this epic! The amount of work put into this is staggering. But in all aspects-- spfx, script, acting, sets-- excellence was achieved. I appreciated the complexity of the story elements-- felt very faithful to the foundational style of Classic Trek. Well done everyone! You made us all very proud!
Just had to find something Trekkie, I’m a big fan of the Star Trek universe…watched it the very first time it hit the air waves in the 60’s. Thank you all for a wonderful story….HIGH 5….🖖 live long and prosper…hoping to see more….Merry Christmas to all….👍❤️🙏🏼
Also, whoever that girl is that played so many of the parts. You know, she was a science officer and also captain of a couple of ships. One of her was a villian. SHE WAS AMAZING! Seriously, top notch acting. And I don't give out praise easily, believe me. WELL DONE young lady
The only thing I expected that they missed was using Alexandra as Samantha Carter in the 1990s as the SG ship's science officer. There is a rather strong resemblance, especially in her alternate hairstyles or wigs.
Omg I had to put thus up on the 70" screen I actually lost count of all the Sci fi shows/movies represented here! This looked like soo much fun to do ! Everyone great job here!!! Why in the world can't we get great entertainment like this anymore from mainstream studios. Do they know how much latinum they could be making here??? I raise my horn of blood wine to you all!!! QAPLA!!!
Fantastic story, unexpected plot twists --overall very entertaining film! So much high quality Hollywood style combinations here it's hard to believe it's "only" a fan-film! Everyone did a great job, including Royce!
I'm rather bummed I missed the premiere, but so glad to finally be sitting down and watching this one! Only nitpick so far is that in the Prime Universe, it was established that all Constitution-class starships were commanded by men (not that I'm complaining you made Allenby the captain of the Excalibur, just a note). Hilarious that Prime universe female Mason has the hots for Jakande, lol, though a little odd that Avalon and Prime Allenby were antagonistic in the beginning. of course, their scene in the turbolift explains it. Loved the inclusion of scenes and bits from other series! Loved the cameos from Sam, Nick, George, and the others. Josh, you and the Avalon Universe team knocked it out of the park again, as always. Looking forward to the next one!
Hi Christina! I'm glad you finally got to see it! I wanted to offer some things on your thoughts. With regards to The Excalibur having a female Captain. I saw this as a follow up to the Star Trek Continues Episode "Embrace The Winds". The Stardate of 7002.3 places the film after Star Trek Continues. My reasoning was that because so many heavy cruisers were lost, that the still space worthy frame of the Excalibur was repaired and put back into service. Allenby was seen as a safe choice, due to the reputation of her father, but as we'll learn in the next edition of "Tales From The Neutral Zone" many believed she was not up to the task. Between you and me Janice Lester's lines in "Turnabout Intruder" are a product of a 60s mindset and should be completely disregarded. But you could maybe interoperate her line "Your world of Starship Captains Doesn't Admit Women" as her saying that male Captains like Kirk are too devoted to the job to truly invest in a relationship with a woman.. Which there is truth to.
With regard to the dynamic between Prime, Avalon, and Mirror, it was an example of things not always being what they seem. I saw Prime and Mirror as the Angel and the Devil on her shoulder. And sometimes doing the right thing can seem a lot harder in the beginning. At first, Prime is all business and comes across as a hard ass because she thinks Avalon has her head in the clouds during the meeting and is not truly focusing. Avalon realizes that Prime is giving her a hard time. It's a case of each seeing their own worse traits in the other. It put Avalon on edge with Prime, making her more open to befriending Mirror. On the flip side Mirror comes across as fun and relatable. Mirror's relationship with Avalon is a condensed portrayal of Narcissistic Abuse. Once the camaraderie and trust was established with Avalon, Mirror then turns cold and controlling attempting to manipulate Avalon. In the end even though Prime might have been all business at times, she's the version that truly believes in Avalon, and is worthy of her respect.
@@joshuairwin2016 You know, I actually had the thought that this episode might come after "Embrace the Winds", though I did not pay attention to the stardate, lol. I really like the idea that Starfleet took chances with promoting female captains to capital starships after the Garrett v. Starfleet lawsuit from STC. Though also as you say, Lester's words were the product of a 60s mindset that didn't even want a woman in a command position (disregarding the fact that the actress in question was Roddenberry's mistress), so could definitely be one of those BS canon issues that are conveniently disregarded in the way so many fans ignore "Threshold" and "These Are the Voyages". And I definitely see what you mean about male captains and relationships, though the same could also be said of female captains, as those of the rank regardless of gender often seem to be married to their ships.
@@joshuairwin2016 I also understand your reasoning here -- it totally makes sense when you put things in these terms. On another note, I have to admit that I was a little bit surprised that Mirror Jakande flipped on Mirror Allenby, but obviously glad he did!
Brilliant! Awesome! Anything that has a quote from Galaxy Quest does it for me and also has multiple snippets of signature tunes including battlestar galactica, pure genius! It was great.
I am binge watching all the indie Star Trek videos on RUclips and so far your’s is the best. 👍However, I must say that all of them are better than what Bad Robot has been making 👎
I think you had particular fun making this one! I couldn't help but notice the registry number of NCC 1969 on a certain particularly flowery Excalibur...
Well Done, I really liked the fact that you used ships from other franchises as well as ST. Having said that, the high point for me was seeing the LSD Excalibur. I had come to hate those characters but when I saw this I really LMAO.
A priceless showcase of homages. Well done, with whimsy and reverent appreciation for all the stories we've loved. And now you've made one more story that brings us together in joy.
oh, wow, this is amazing! when i first started watching, i thought, ok a stargate/star trek crossover, that's different but dull, and then almost immediately it was crossover on top of crossover, all getting better as it went along. top notch movie. 47 out of 47 stars(inside star trek joke).
Very nice job of parodying the whole fan film fraternity. Too bad you couldn't get Cawley to play Captain Presley...but we got it. Much more fun to watch than the TNG episode it was adapted from. The running soap opera gag and PS was quite amusing.
Lots of respect for what James Cawley accomplished in pioneering fan films. He inspired so many of the rest of us. My understanding is that he has moved on from filmmaking. But we wish him the best!
I saw ships from Star Wars, Old Battlestar Galactia, Buck Rogers in the 25 the Century Star Trek Enterprise, The Orville, Star Gate SG1, the Preservers, . Super Neat! Then there was the Love Federation, Captain Flower Blossom, and Commander Presley (Only in a Multiverse Crossover) Well DONE!!! Keep making these!
Damn, I didn’t expect to this to be that good. This was certainly better than most the stuff we’ve been getting the past decade from paramount. Thank you! I’ve said for years, trek fans would much rather have good stories with lower production quality (not that this was bad, it was quite good), than top notch production quality with bad stories and characters. Thank you!
Great Job ! I enjoyed this a lot. Would like to have seen the crews of even more alternative Excaliburs, but I understand how it might make the show a lot longer and more convoluted. Most of all I want to see a episode centered on the Love-ship Excalibur, Space Hippy comedy.
I've been a Trek fan since the 70's, that being said, this is really good stuff, characters, stories, FX, and all, thank all of you, in front of and behind the camera, great job.
This was absolutely amazing everyone! I was hooked the whole time! Everyone's personal stories, seeing the acting as different characters, it was so cool. Also I loved the nods to all the universes. Star Wars and Mass Effect were the most memorable, and it was cool to see the Borg Hunters, too! A true work of art and a labor of love. One of the best ST fan films I've seen... ever.
After I saw that over the past 7 years close to 30 fan films have been released that exceed 40 minutes, I decided to go ahead and tell my story. Time will tell, hopefully CBS/P will show the same grace it has for the past few years.
“First Officer’s log: Reminder to self to petition Starfleet to make blue suede shoes the uniform foot wear and reprogram all good replicators to make banana sandwiches…”
What a fun show. And I had to laugh at all the ships from other "time streams," wondering whose model collection was raided, but in retrospect, the models appearing were probably a group effort; I find that those who like Star Trek also are willing to watch other series as well. Seeing the Yamato made me burst out laughing (I admit I have both the anime and live action versions). I may have to re-watch the show to see all the various ships. Outstanding effort! Slainté (Irish for "to your health!")
I got to show respect for the ABSOLUTE RESTRAINT of the BSG ships for not immediately blowing away a Cylon Baseship, the Cylon base ship for not immediately trying to nuke everyone else and the REAPER for not immediately doing the SOVEREIGN speech. You had at the very least a 4-5 way firefight between bitter enemies from 3 different universes. BSG, Star Wars and the REAPER. Also Federation of love was pure comic genuis.
As always, Rude comments will be deleted. Don’t waste your time.

Omg I had to put thus up on the 70" screen I actually lost count of all the Sci fi shows/movies represented here! This looked like soo much fun to do ! Everyone great job here!!! Why in the world can't we get great entertainment like this anymore from mainstream studios. Do they know how much latinum they could be making here??? I raise my horn of blood wine to you all!!! QAPLA!!!
Thank you ! I really appreciate that!
Fantastic story, unexpected plot twists --overall very entertaining film! So much high quality Hollywood style combinations here it's hard to believe it's "only" a fan-film!
Everyone did a great job, including Royce!
one of the best star trek episodes i have ever seen well done 😀😀😀😀😀😀
I'm rather bummed I missed the premiere, but so glad to finally be sitting down and watching this one! Only nitpick so far is that in the Prime Universe, it was established that all Constitution-class starships were commanded by men (not that I'm complaining you made Allenby the captain of the Excalibur, just a note). Hilarious that Prime universe female Mason has the hots for Jakande, lol, though a little odd that Avalon and Prime Allenby were antagonistic in the beginning. of course, their scene in the turbolift explains it. Loved the inclusion of scenes and bits from other series! Loved the cameos from Sam, Nick, George, and the others.
Josh, you and the Avalon Universe team knocked it out of the park again, as always. Looking forward to the next one!
Hi Christina! I'm glad you finally got to see it! I wanted to offer some things on your thoughts. With regards to The Excalibur having a female Captain. I saw this as a follow up to the Star Trek Continues Episode "Embrace The Winds". The Stardate of 7002.3 places the film after Star Trek Continues. My reasoning was that because so many heavy cruisers were lost, that the still space worthy frame of the Excalibur was repaired and put back into service. Allenby was seen as a safe choice, due to the reputation of her father, but as we'll learn in the next edition of "Tales From The Neutral Zone" many believed she was not up to the task. Between you and me Janice Lester's lines in "Turnabout Intruder" are a product of a 60s mindset and should be completely disregarded. But you could maybe interoperate her line "Your world of Starship Captains Doesn't Admit Women" as her saying that male Captains like Kirk are too devoted to the job to truly invest in a relationship with a woman.. Which there is truth to.
With regard to the dynamic between Prime, Avalon, and Mirror, it was an example of things not always being what they seem. I saw Prime and Mirror as the Angel and the Devil on her shoulder. And sometimes doing the right thing can seem a lot harder in the beginning. At first, Prime is all business and comes across as a hard ass because she thinks Avalon has her head in the clouds during the meeting and is not truly focusing. Avalon realizes that Prime is giving her a hard time. It's a case of each seeing their own worse traits in the other. It put Avalon on edge with Prime, making her more open to befriending Mirror. On the flip side Mirror comes across as fun and relatable. Mirror's relationship with Avalon is a condensed portrayal of Narcissistic Abuse. Once the camaraderie and trust was established with Avalon, Mirror then turns cold and controlling attempting to manipulate Avalon. In the end even though Prime might have been all business at times, she's the version that truly believes in Avalon, and is worthy of her respect.
@@joshuairwin2016 You know, I actually had the thought that this episode might come after "Embrace the Winds", though I did not pay attention to the stardate, lol. I really like the idea that Starfleet took chances with promoting female captains to capital starships after the Garrett v. Starfleet lawsuit from STC. Though also as you say, Lester's words were the product of a 60s mindset that didn't even want a woman in a command position (disregarding the fact that the actress in question was Roddenberry's mistress), so could definitely be one of those BS canon issues that are conveniently disregarded in the way so many fans ignore "Threshold" and "These Are the Voyages". And I definitely see what you mean about male captains and relationships, though the same could also be said of female captains, as those of the rank regardless of gender often seem to be married to their ships.
@@joshuairwin2016 I also understand your reasoning here -- it totally makes sense when you put things in these terms. On another note, I have to admit that I was a little bit surprised that Mirror Jakande flipped on Mirror Allenby, but obviously glad he did!
@@ChristinaMoore79 I'm sure it surprised her too! 😄
I'm definitely going to need to watch this again!! So many references! ... Never give up! Never surrender!! 🖖🖖🖖
love the space battleship yamato representation!
Brilliant! Awesome! Anything that has a quote from Galaxy Quest does it for me and also has multiple snippets of signature tunes including battlestar galactica, pure genius! It was great.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I am binge watching all the indie Star Trek videos on RUclips and so far your’s is the best. 👍However, I must say that all of them are better than what Bad Robot has been making 👎
Thank you! That is very kind!
I have to say that I really enjoyed this! Thanks to everyone involved.
The massive group of different ships from different franchises was awesome.
Thanks man!
I think you had particular fun making this one! I couldn't help but notice the registry number of NCC 1969 on a certain particularly flowery Excalibur...
WOW.. It goes to show.. you can NEVER have too many Excaliburs!!! That was truly amazing. So much action, drama, and chuckles.. SUPERB!
Great seeing a ship from that ST-inspired show too. 😉
Bravo! Another excellent video from the Avalon group. I'm your loyal fan.
Loved the show everyone. The amount of cross overs were mind blowing and funny in spots. Great job, I will watch this again. Keep them coming.
Thanks for watching our film! I'm glad you liked it. And thank you for the comment!
Thank you, thank you and thank you for using the Preservers!
Well Done, I really liked the fact that you used ships from other franchises as well as ST. Having said that, the high point for me was seeing the LSD Excalibur. I had come to hate those characters but when I saw this I really LMAO.
Thanks man! Yeah the hippie universe was one of the most fun parts of making it!
The multiverse of Excaliburs is SUPER MEGA AWESOME!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
A priceless showcase of homages. Well done, with whimsy and reverent appreciation for all the stories we've loved. And now you've made one more story that brings us together in joy.
You guys are absolutely awesome! Thanks so much!
love the idea of different ships for other universes and same but different crews trying to work together 🖖👍
oh, wow, this is amazing! when i first started watching, i thought, ok a stargate/star trek crossover, that's different but dull, and then almost immediately it was crossover on top of crossover, all getting better as it went along. top notch movie. 47 out of 47 stars(inside star trek joke).
Wild all the crossovers of some of my favorite shows! Fun show and like the humor flowing through it all!
Very nice job of parodying the whole fan film fraternity. Too bad you couldn't get Cawley to play Captain Presley...but we got it.
Much more fun to watch than the TNG episode it was adapted from.
The running soap opera gag and PS was quite amusing.
Lots of respect for what James Cawley accomplished in pioneering fan films. He inspired so many of the rest of us. My understanding is that he has moved on from filmmaking. But we wish him the best!
Immediately thought of Cawley. A real lol 😝 moment.
Soo amazing, loved every minute, with the added bonus of guess the franchise LLAP
Thank you so much!

Star Trek & Babylon 5 😮😊 the best of both worlds
I have to agree!
Not the soap at the end?? LOL!! I loved this!!
There's something wonderful about watching people enjoy themselves
I saw ships from Star Wars, Old Battlestar Galactia, Buck Rogers in the 25
the Century Star Trek Enterprise, The Orville, Star Gate SG1, the Preservers, . Super Neat! Then there was the Love Federation, Captain Flower Blossom, and Commander Presley (Only in a Multiverse Crossover) Well DONE!!! Keep making these!
I've watched this Film Twice it was so good!!
Insane in the membrane! Entertainment WOW!!! Star Dates of Our Lives!!! LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous! OUTSTANDING! Should be a full length big screen movie. Brilliant story.
I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Damn, I didn’t expect to this to be that good. This was certainly better than most the stuff we’ve been getting the past decade from paramount. Thank you!
I’ve said for years, trek fans would much rather have good stories with lower production quality (not that this was bad, it was quite good), than top notch production quality with bad stories and characters. Thank you!
Thank you so much! We are really glad you liked it!
The Phoenix from Battle Of The Planets!? LoL
Presley!? TCB
Brilliant screenplay. Executed so well.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching.
Amazing episode! “We reach” was a great nod to TOS. So many great things about this and everyone got to shine. Fantastic work.
This was good. Kudos to all who participated in the creation of this work.
Your series has progressed enough for channel 13. Good luck.
Great Job ! I enjoyed this a lot. Would like to have seen the crews of even more alternative Excaliburs, but I understand how it might make the show a lot longer and more convoluted. Most of all I want to see a episode centered on the Love-ship Excalibur, Space Hippy comedy.
And the Elvis!!!!!
Well... If Jonathan Lane gets his way.. You Will.
That'll be a hunk of burning love.
I've been a Trek fan since the 70's, that being said, this is really good stuff, characters, stories, FX, and all, thank all of you, in front of and behind the camera, great job.
This was absolutely amazing everyone! I was hooked the whole time! Everyone's personal stories, seeing the acting as different characters, it was so cool. Also I loved the nods to all the universes. Star Wars and Mass Effect were the most memorable, and it was cool to see the Borg Hunters, too! A true work of art and a labor of love. One of the best ST fan films I've seen... ever.
The credits read like a "whos who" of Trek fandom productions..
Lol
I love that overlapping of the Orville and references to Rick and Morty
That was an ambitious project and you pulled it off! Great job, Avalon!
Thank you guy who doesn’t exist and is only a pen name!
Delightfully cheesy and entertaining true to the spirit of TOS :) great stuff, very well done!
So glad you had 40 minutes to tell the story. I enjoyed the mashup of all the universes. An excellent production.
After I saw that over the past 7 years close to 30 fan films have been released that exceed 40 minutes, I decided to go ahead and tell my story. Time will tell, hopefully CBS/P will show the same grace it has for the past few years.
That was awesome, is it just me who thinks we need a Flower Blossom and Presley spin off
If Jonathan Lane gets his way, it'll happen.
“First Officer’s log: Reminder to self to petition Starfleet to make blue suede shoes the uniform foot wear and reprogram all good replicators to make banana sandwiches…”
What a fun show. And I had to laugh at all the ships from other "time streams," wondering whose model collection was raided, but in retrospect, the models appearing were probably a group effort; I find that those who like Star Trek also are willing to watch other series as well. Seeing the Yamato made me burst out laughing (I admit I have both the anime and live action versions). I may have to re-watch the show to see all the various ships. Outstanding effort! Slainté (Irish for "to your health!")
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely great all the way through! Loved all of the Easter Eggs.
Easter Eggs are one of my favorite parts! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you liked the film!
That was so much fun! All of the possibilities...
Thank you so much!
This certainly isn't KRAP!
Been eagerly awaiting this production, so many plot possibilities with idea.
Part 2 Please! Very well done😊
There will be a follow up film next year.
This was so much fun to watch. Thank you!
Thank you! It was fun to make, and we're grateful that people are enjoying it!
Wow, so many things going on here, I don't know where to begin. Great job.
Time for a Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwich! Well done!
Very ! well made and enjoyed. Thank You
Thank you so much for watching our film! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I got to show respect for the ABSOLUTE RESTRAINT of the BSG ships for not immediately blowing away a Cylon Baseship, the Cylon base ship for not immediately trying to nuke everyone else and the REAPER for not immediately doing the SOVEREIGN speech.
You had at the very least a 4-5 way firefight between bitter enemies from 3 different universes. BSG, Star Wars and the REAPER.
Also Federation of love was pure comic genuis.
Brilliant! This is awesome!!! Good job people! Loving it
Not bad. Not bad at all. Good to see you all progressing.
Great stuff, so many Easter eggs, such fantastic compositing and really nice performances. Well done, everyone.
