You speak for yourself. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Michael Echo, And without question, many, many others.

Amen to that.😢

I totally agreed awesome thank you cant wait for part 2

I am 64 and went to the protest at Burbank Studio when canceled...all the rest the same as you. Its great...try " Fairest of them all" youtube...

Very well Done with the Feeling of the Realization of the SHOWS😊.

INDEED🤔🖖

I was watching it from my classroom in grade school. One of those moments you can't forget, like 9/11.

I was at GSU in Atlanta when it happened. During my lunch break between classes, I heard a report on my Walkman radio and went into the student centre to watch it on TV. The next day, we had a memorial service in the chapel. Together, many students of various faiths were together and even prayed and sang without any rancor that I could see. It was different on 9/11, but I had already graduated and working by then. Still, we should remember: "Never forget" (for both).

Same here.

The Federation News Service should have its own series I think....heck it should have it's own completely streamed TV channel :D

there was a book published in 1977-78 call the star trek compendium that gave a detailed history and time line from 1950 to 2280. it must be available on some download site or book shop.

I’d settle for Romulan Earth war. So teased. So many ideas. Ugh

@@thewizzard3150 Shatner rewrote all that.

So wäre es in Star Trek Enterprie (Archer) weiter gegangen. Scheiss auf Discovery.😢

@Eric:.... Well said, I totally agree...thank you for posting!

Here here 🍻

Its been a long road...

no can-do, that sort of thing isn't woke!

I was waiting it so shattered when it did not happen

The only reason Star Trek was having the Dominion war was because Babylon 5 was having the shadow war that was getting more views. I guess Babylon 5 showed Star Trek how to get more viewers to tune in. Anyway thanks Babylon Five for turning Star Trek from space sissies to almost badass. The UFP space hippies still have some ways to go from being bully magnets but they are starting grow a sit.

@@neganrex5693 To be fair, DS9 wasn't like any of the other Star Trek shows before or ever since, due to the unrelenting realpolitik of Captain Sisko. He was a religiou leader, a military commander, and one of the few Starfleet officers willing to do what was needed to secure peace in the midst of a rising Dominion aggression and plots against the Federation. TNG was an era of peace that only got shattered by the Borg, but it was still mostly peaceful with a few flare-ups. DS9 was unstable era of conflict with huge stakes. Beyond that, DS9 introduced elements other star trek shows have tried and failed to incorporate properly like Section 31, a spy agency that was secret that acted as judge, jury, and executioner. All the other shows after tried to copy it, tried to conceive stories around this mysterious secret police/intelligence agency, but failed miserably. To me, Star Trek revealed the reality and social commentary about the costs of civilization and nationhood, whether it's Romulan Tal Shiar or Cardassian Obsidian Order being akin to Russian FSB and Chinese MIS agencies versus Federation's Section 31 akin to US own NSA agency, no nation-state democratic or totalitarian can maintain itself without such means. Something most Trekkies back then and now fail to accept or want to accept is that such tools are necessary to preserve paradise in whatever form the civilization behind them wants. Kind of kills that notion of individuality and freedom being ultimate goals. Then, there was Sisko's false flag operation against the Romulans in order to win the War against the Dominion. No other Star Trek or Sci-Fi show to that point had ever done something like In the Pale Moonlight, because no one dared to challenge the notion that the ends justify the means. He willingly allowed another nation to send an army to fight for his in order to stave off defeat. Were his goals noble? Depends on the eye of the beholder, humanity would agree it was, but Romulans and Dominion Citizens who died due to his actions would call him a war criminal. However, they won the war and ultimately that is what mattered, survival of the Federation first rather than morality or ethics. Even Babylon 5 didn't go down that route, Sheridan and Delenn most controversial actions like using telepaths as suicide bombers was a pale shadow to the billions of lives Sisko and Garak eventually killed through their actions. That kind of social commentary is far more controversial than talking about gender, race, or ethnic identity because at its core, it challenges the very notion of liberty and free will. DS9 was beyond Woke, it was fully awake and dealt with reality rather than pretending little issues define it. Victory is life, indeed.

Not a fan of "DS9" or "Discovery". I preferred "Star Trek Continues" and "Enterprise"!

I'm tickled pink that they got a guy who's normally a comedian (Jeff Allen) to play Adm. Mathias Jefferies. Jeff's comedy routines are some of the best stand-up routines out there. Maybe his sense of humor will come into play for this character at some point. And It would be ironic if they got Jeffrey Combs to play a Romulan part for this :D

If only Enterprise had gotten that last season...The one good thing that show was building to. That Dark Mirror two parter was too little too late.

when did Picard reference this?

I'd previously heard Salem-1 associated with the Tholians, etc - maybe in RPG stuff? But Romulan links often come up regarding it, also.

@@BaronFeydRautha I actually really enjoyed the Xindi war saga, the later Season 4 arc and the developing of the friendship between Archer and Shran. But yeah, not getting the Romulan War was beyond a bummer! :(

@@jimmycrawford2977 He's referring to the episode "The Enemy". Here is the line; "But we must measure our response carefully, or history may remember Galorndon Core along with Pearl Harbour and Station Salem One as the stage for a bloody preamble to war." The way the line is delivered, it doesn't sound like a second item being listed.

Fan films might have to work under Secret Hideout guidelines to avoid legal action... but it says nothing of fan documentaries.

Trek returns not in the hands of big budget and big names, but in the hands of those who love trek not for what it can be sold for but love of the universe herself🥺. Thank you romulan war, thank you.

True dat

The sad thing is if Enterprise wasn't canceled when it was we would have gotten the Romulan Wars as much as I don't like prequels I would love to see a prequel set in the prime timeline during the Romulan War

@@davfree9732 Well, not yet anyways.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I agree this is darn good.Well put together and the acting was simple supremely good.I could see this on the big screen.

Nukes in Star Trek is kind of weird. Most of the hull upgrades in the 23rd century made nukes pretty useless, and a nuclear apocalypse happened on Earth so it's likely that the Federation would avoid these things. Romulans had self destruct using nukes, but that was pretty much it.

Can't wait to see Part II. Well done.

@@ashlynnp.9609 it's not weird if you remember Balance of Terror Spock says that the weapons were nuclear and that there was no quarter given and either side ever saw their adversary. Basically they're keeping to original Canon as best they can. Also remove this is not the 23rd century but the 22nd. They're not as advanced yet.

@@michaelbateman8469 I hope we dont have to wait forever for part 2. Really want to see it soon.

"No view screens"???

Need part 2, good job!

@@josephshorr6781 So say we all : )

@kirkrules66 blame that CBS exec who went down during the me too sex scandals. He hated star trek

Per Aspera

@@josephshorr6781 Agree!

Lot of good ship design!

All they need is someone who sounds like him.

Who's the guy that plays the romulan commander? He seems very familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

Design is taken from the pc game " Bridge Commander"

Does he have any major malfunctions or numb nuts? 😂

There's a film?

Wow, you sure have that right. Today's Star Trek is nothing but Hollywood trying to push a left agenda. In Picard, the bulk of new characters seem to be women, and there is some old dust bag dressed in an Admiral's uniform repeatedly dropping the F-Bomb. What's that all about? Star Trek might still draw in a young fan base, and they don't need to be taught that is the right way to communicate.

@@billtaylor2405 Having said that most of the female characters are actually worth watching. On the whole I enjoyed Picard but I agree it needs more balance.

I AGREE. This film, like other fan-films show that a love and respect for the franchise speaks for itself. This is obviously better that Discovery, even though it was probably produced with a mere FRACTION of the cost to produce Discovery.

@@billtaylor2405 Trying to push a left agenda? You do know that Star Trek has incorporated social issues of the day into the show since its inception, right?

@@wottermelon1132 Except Roddenberry nor Lucas nor any of the great storytellers of olden times sacrificed storytelling to shove politics down people's throats as you Baizuo scumbags do nowadays.

Uhhhhh fuck yeah and by FAR.

Paul Comi Lieutenant Stiles.

Not to mention Captain Styles of the Excelsior.

They were building up to the Earth-Romulus War when Enterprise got unceremoniously cancelled, which is a shame indeed (I have an idea it would have been done like the Dominion War on DS9, which I thought was awesome!). I also came here courtesy of Lore Reloaded

I agree. This was pretty good. It was more entertaining than most of them.

You should watch Prelude To Axanar as well then.😎

Lacks identity politics, so modern Trek turn their noses up at this masterpiece of a fan film

Because giving fans what they want is seen as toxic pandering. I think they’ve forgotten the term the customer is always right.

This is what Enterprise was building up to before it was unceremoniously murdered by the network.

@@FelixIsMyName man you have no idea how much of an improvement removing identity politics from nu trek would be

@@durkin9664 or In other terms continuing the stories and characters we actually want to hear about ?

Enterprise was totally in the spirit of Star Trek.

@@Karen1963Yorks cant under stand why it was cancelled and the last ep of s4 showed tht they did not care anymore and reduced it from 24 eps to 22 reason because if it hit 100 a syndicate could of been taken out to carry it on enterprise was the last good trek we had what came after has been garbage even picard

@@paulus121212 I wouldn't describe ENT S4 as "they didn't care anymore". It was more a desperation thing - they were willing to experiment, they wanted to impress, they wanted to answer a lot of loose canon questions, they wanted to give Star Trek a graceful and majestic sendoff, they were hoping that wide appeal to fans might keep the show on air for another season. They might have even succeeded if not for pompous old Riker's uninvited and unwanted appearance in the final episode.

@@paulus121212 Please speak in sentences and use punctuation. Reading that made my brain hurt.

@@paulus121212 The only reason I can think for ENT to have flopped, at least among diehard Trekkies, is the focus they had on the 'Temporal Cold War' arc in the first 3 seasons. It certainly jarred me a bit, but when I saw what they were moving towards in Season 4, I got very excited and thought ENT finally found its footing... At least until it was cancelled. Damn shame too, but apparently there's been a growing movement to bring Enterprise back and continue where it left off. I just hope they don't taint it with any of Discovery's nu-Trek garbage if they do.

I think that crown goes to Prelude To Axanar, but this is definitely top 2

Just a shame they copied the prelude to Axanar

@@bryanwolfie Why? its a cheap way to make an awesome fan film with minimal horrible acting and a lot of cool VFX shots.This format plays directly to the strengths of the fan community while removing most of its weaknesses.

Well a civilization devoted to warfare against their neighbors inevitably will have certain types of vessels devoted to certain types of duty. And by virtue of that their layout would almost certainly be similar. But in this case the Klingons would have copied the design for the D7 from that dreadnought design... but if you watch any of the stuff related to Axanar, several classes of their ships follow that layout design. But it certainly makes sense because having the bulk of the armaments and the PowerPlant separate from much of the crew complement is essentially a sensible design. Plus the idea of being able to separate in the event of a disaster it's one thing to die in honorable combat but to die senselessly due to a core breach that would need to be a method of Starship separation. Plus you would have any weapons that could be potentially unstable in the section with the engine core.

I remember seeing the Challenger's launch & later explosion that day (I was sick from school) & how shocking & sad it was

Indeed. They put that on the TV in all the schools.

Me: **Salutes**

So do I

I'll never forget Challenger. Even though I was 5 years old when it happened. No one should ever forget Challenger.

Shared to four different Facebook groups!

AHA - so you're the one! Your dad did tell me that the main reason he signed on was because you kept on him about it. THANK YOU!! Jeff did great in this .. he has gotten a lot of props from my filmmaker friends who have watched it. I ran into him a few months ago, but I had a mask on and I don't think he recognized me (it had been two years since I saw him).. tell him I said "hi"!

@@TheRomulanWar haha that’s so awesome! I’ll definitely let him know!!! Can’t wait for part 2!

We do know that the Klingons & Romulans have a history of spying on each other and stealing tech from each other, so our theory is that it was the Romulans who created the Stormbird battlecruiser design during the Earth-Romulan War and the Klingons copied its basic design sometime over the next century to create the D-7 by the time of TOS. Then, the Romulans saw something in the D-7 they thought worked better than what they had and rebuilt their old Stormbirds with the Klingons' improvements. Too big a stretch? Maybe, but like you said there is some real-life historical precedent and besides, this doesn't CONFLICT with Trek canon... it just tweaks what you thought you already knew.

@@TheRomulanWar it has already been established in canon however, that the Romulans received the D7 design in exchange for cloaking technology. It would have been more accurate, and dare I say more creative to design a wholly Romulan ship to act as the capital ship of their fleet. That said, it is still a great production. It certainly beats the living hell out of Discovery (Though that’s not that hard in my opinion). Also the whole depicting the praetor as a darth sideous character is a little on the nose 😉

@@geoffreyswann624 The Klingons actually based their D-7 design on the Romulan Stormbird. We will explain this in an upcoming video, so make sure you subscribe.

Me too not to act but to support you guys. Is there any way you guys can release DVDs for sale

Wow, that was a lot of big words just to say you liked it. I must say that I agree with you substantially.

While this is cool, it’s not at all like “real” Star Trek. You might want to go back and watch Star Trek someday. It’s not a bunch of war stuff.

@@keirfarnum6811 I think what she/he mean is this is how to write a war arc in Trek.

Thanks for writing one of our audio episodes, Andrew. I loved it! Go take a look, kids! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hYWpeqKAiaF-y4E.html

@@TheRomulanWar hi thank u so much for this production doing justice to the original actors and actresses of star trek EnterPrise like Scott bakula and all e extras acting as enterprise crew and andorian commander shran thank u all so much for all the writing the production team and thank u so much from Asia The earth romulan war was too costly even in the novels their losses were high though i wish early starfleet have some shields thank u for mentioning all the crucial earth allies like andoria so on

^^ sharp eyes and ears, highlander!

I bet they would have used R. Lee Ermey for that character if Enterprise had continued too...

So I was not the only one to hear a "Yamato-like" explosion sound there!
