Bailey; Sherill Turnerr, John Blythe, Christine Presland, Rob Cook, Arthur Ross

their crew, and yet don't convey any sense of their loss
sets: digital
quality: mediocre
costuming: fair
special effects: mediocre
base of operations: England
setting: U.S.S. Intrepid

ease of navigation: simple
content: good, but not terribly informative
notes: Star Trek is
not the only interest of Laurie Calvert, but he made two fan films in 1998 and 1999.
There's an obvious fondness for shuttlecraft, planet scenes, and starship firefights. He
has not made a Star Trek fan film in over 10 years.

The starship Intrepid has been badly damaged
after an alien attack. As the Enterprise approaches, the alien vessel attacks again. Other
starships join in the battle to defeat the alien ship but in the end it may be an unusual
maneuver from the Intrepid that wins the day...
Quality Rating: 42%
While it's clear that the folks involve have a love of Classic Star Trek, at the
time this film was produced, there just wasn't reasonable technology to make a viable Star
Trek fan film. The special effects detract heavily from the story. The writing itself is
simplistic although the finale itself is quite original. |

The U.S.S. Valiant
has been lost, presumed crashed on a planet. A shuttlecraft goes to investigate and gets
pulled down by the same mysterious energy. What or who is causing it, and why?
Quality Rating: 58%
This episode episode is an improvement over the first episode. The filming and
special effects are actually better, and there's action on the planet's surface. Spoiler
Alert: The story has an interesting concept, but is spoiled at the end by a
sudden appearance of folks rightfully presumed dead. |
