Star Trek Fan Productions

      Hello, everyone!  One thing that I've been a fan of since Star Trek Enterprise was cancelled is the many fan series and productions that's been done online over the years.  The people behind these series have all done such a good job in carrying on Gene Roddenberry's dream.  Here's a list of the best ones I've come across and followed over the years, and links to this websites where you can watch the productions.  I hope you enjoy them if you decide to check them out!

      This is my favorite of the fan series.  It picks up where The Original Series left off after the final season.  It really connects the original Star Trek series to The Motion Picture.  The series uses professionaly made sets and props, and very good special effects.  Another plus is John De Lancie, Otherwise known as Q to all Next Generation fans, guest stars in one episode.  And, the actor that plays Scotty in this series is played by Chris Doohan, James Doohan's son.  I highly recommend it for any fan of the original Star Trek. 

      Here is another series that continues on The Original Series story.  Like Star Trek Continues, it uses professionally made sets, good special effects, and the acting is pretty good.  The stories aren't bad either.  Plus Several MAJOR Star Trek actors guest star in several episodes of this series.  I once again recommend this to any Star Trek fan.

      This is a fan-made series that's set during The Original Series era, and takes place onboard the Starship U.S.S. Farragut.  Once again, the sets are professionally made, The acting is good, and the stories are very good.  They've even made several animated episodes that were pretty good too.  Overall, It's a good series and I again highly recommend it to any Star Trek fan.

      This is a fan made movie, directed by Tim Russ, otherwise know is Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.  The story takes place about 12 years after Kirk's recorded death on the Enterprise-B.  Once again, the sets are real and the story is very good.  Plus, every main actor in this except for Herbert Jefferson Jr., is a major Star Trek Actor.  I again highly recommend this for any Star Trek fan.

      This is an upcoming fan made movie.  It's based before Kirk's time, and it's about the Battle of Axanar during the 4 Years War.  The war was fought between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.  From what I've seen so far, the overall production looks pretty good.  The acting is well done, the story looks good, and the special effects look very good.  I definitely recommend it, and I'm looking forward to it being released.  It'll take some time to be released though.  Paramount has filed several legal actions against the people behind the production.  But, it seems to be moving forward though.

      This is a fan made movie set during the Earth-Romulan War just after the ending of Star Trek Enterprise.  It has a very good story, and the acting and special effects aren't half bad.  For all of you Enterprise fans out there, it'll answer the question of who was the person from the 27th century communicating with the Suliban.  The sets are blue/green screen, and some scenes are filed on location.  Overall, it's a good production.  I recommend it for any Star Trek fan.

      This is the main site for the fan-made series Star Trek Hidden Frontier, and all of it's connected series.  The special effects were ok, and the acting wasn't top notch, but all of the series have a very good story to them.  All of the series used blue/green screen, but were decently done.  But, overall, I found all of the series to be quite enjoyable.  I do recommend it to Star Trek fans.  If you decide to watch it, and wish to know the order of episodes, please contact me.  I managed to work out their whole timeline.

      This is the fan made series Starship Intrepid.  It's based on the Starship U.S.S. Intrepid during the Hidden Frontier series, and crosses over with it several times.  They use a combination of blue/green screen and professionally built sets for the series.  The special effects and acting isn't bad, and it's also got a pretty good story to it, especially when Section 31 becomes involved.  Overall, it's a good series, and I recommend it.
