Science Fiction Convention

• 28.  to  29. September 2024

At the end of every September, the Technik Museum Speyer hosts a big science fiction gathering. Many Star Wars and Star Trek fans, including more than 100 costumed members of the German Garrison (www.501st.de) gather at Europe's largest space exhibition in Speyer. This science fiction meeting has now become an integral part of the museum's annual calendar. Each year, more and more fans show up looking like their favorite characters from Star Wars, Star Trek, comics or manga. In recent years, as many as 1,000 guests in costume have shown up. Whether young or old, the science fiction gathering in Speyer is an experience for the whole family.

Every year there are great sci-fi events on offer, too. For example, an opening show, a scavenger hunt with a competition for children, information and sellers of sci-fi materials, Star Wars souvenir photos with the German Garrison, the traditional parade, shows by the light saber group Saberproject (www.saberproject.de) and autograph lessons with several star guests.

Star Trek Kinofilme und Serien

Das Herz des Star Trek Universums sind die Kinofilme sowie die Serien. Angefangen mit TOS (The Original Series) bis hin zu Discovery. Die Kinofilme werden ab und an im Free-TV übertragen und die Serien sind zum Teil im Free-TV (vorrangig Tele 5) zu sehen. Soll die Wunsch-Episode immer verfügbar sein, macht der Kauf von DVD oder Blu-Ray Sinn. Bei Streaming-Anbietern wie Amazon Prime oder Netflix sind meist nur einzelne Serien und Filme abrufbar. Ein Grund hierfür ist die große Anzahl an Star Trek Folgen. Mittlerweile gibt es über 700 Star Trek Episoden! Deshalb präsentieren wir Euch in unserer Kategorie DVD & Blu-Ray einen Überblick über die einzelnen DVD- & Blu-Ray-Boxen von TNG, DS9 & Co und zeigen Euch verschiedene Special-Editions sowie Sammler-Editionen.

Vom Star Trek Flaschenöffner bis hin zum standesgemäßen Captains-tea-cup für einen Earl Grey nach einem anstrengenden Tag auf der Brücke. In unser Kategorie Gadgets & Replica findet ihr die besten online verfügbaren Star Trek Fanartikel & Gadgets!

Es gibt kaum einen besseren Weg in das Design von Star Trek einzutauchen, als mit Schiffsmodellen zum eigenständigen Nachbauen von Galaxy Klasse und Co.

Ob Borg-Kubus oder Maquis-Raider, selbstverständlich haben wir für jeden Klassiker das richtige Modell-Pendant für Euch gesucht – und gefunden!

Da ein Schiff ohne seine Crew nicht einsatzbereit ist, findet ihr hier natürlich auch die coolsten Star Trek Actionfiguren .

Privacy Overview

Star Trek Central Europe

Star Trek Central Europe ( STCE ) was the biggest German Star Trek fanclub. Later it became the Offizieller Star Trek Fan Club (OSTFC).

Star Trek first aired in Germany in 1972. Ricky E., a woman from Augsburg, was a huge fan and joined the Leonard Nimoy Association of Fans in 1975. That way she got to know Marlies K. from Switzerland. When Ricky wanted to join a different club, Star Trek New York , she was told that she couldn’t become a member because she didn't live in the region but they would be happy to associate with another fan club. So together with Marlies she founded Star Trek Central Europe in 1976 and they published a small newsletter. Through a listing in the Star Trek Catalog more and more fans from Germany, Austria and Switzerland found the STCE. One of them was S.Z.M. who happened to live in Augsburg as well and soon joined Ricky and Marlies in their efforts. The newsletter published fanfiction, fanart, and articles and it was the enthusiasm of these three women that made the STCE thrive. After a few years Ricky drifted away from the STCE and left it in 1983, by then Marlies and S.Z.M. had been running the club for a while. [1]

In 1987, when S.Z.M. didn't have the time to continue, the women who were running the club agreed to merge the STCE with the another club from Augsburg, the Europäischer STAR TREK-Fanclub , which had been founded by Dirk Bartholomä in 1985. He would take over the STCE members and continue the combined fanclubs as STCE. Trekworld was introduced as the new format for the newsletter and the club continued to grow. Star Trek: TNG had found its way to Germany in 1990 and after a mainstream magazine reported about the fanclub membership grew faster and faster.

In 1992 Dirk founded Fedcon .

(more, stuff happens, STCE becomes OSTFC)

In 2000 the STCE gets official status and becomes the Offizieller Star Trek Fan Club (OSTFC).

Farragut Forward: A Star Trek Fan Production

Welcome to the final frontier…

The prologue to Farragut Forward was released January 27, 2022! See it  HERE !

In june 2021, kaotica studios announced a partnership with farragut films, one of the longest-running and most beloved star trek fan productions. .

The result of this collaboration is Farragut Forward: A Star Trek Fan Production, the continuation of Starship Farragut adventures, set in the “monster maroon” world of the 1980s Star Trek movie era. 

Preproduction began in summer 2021 in accordance with the Fan Film Guidelines issued by CBS/Paramount. At this time, several key production decisions were made on the production’s tone and visual style, including the costumes, and an emphasis on filming practical ship models as an homage to the 1980s era of sci-fi filmmaking, and to the early days of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM).

Producer and Farragut Films founder John Broughton had this to say:  Fans can expect a more ‘sophisticated’ version of Farragut…  a darker, more serious side.  After a recent camera/lighting test, Johnny said, “This isn’t your Daddy’s Farragut!”  He’s right, and my expectation is that our fanbase will be highly impressed, wanting to see more with new fans following.

THE PROLOGUE

After pre-production concluded in the summer 2021, cameras rolled on the Farragut Forward  prologue   in October 2021. The single set was a very small room (roughly 10′ by 10′), which was packed full of lights, gear, smoke, and at some points more than 10 members of the cast and crew. 

Filming was originally planned for two days, but thanks to the hard work of the cast and crew, production wrapped in a single 12-hour day, including a full tear-down and rebuild of the set midday. 

The three-minute prologue was a lot of work crammed into a very tight production period. It took many of our actors several hours to get into their costumes, prosthetics, and makeup, so instead of coming back and doing it all over again on the second day of filming, everyone pushed to wrap the shoot in a single day. We even tore the set down at lunch and rebuilt it for the turnaround shots. It made for a very long day, in a very cramped set, but the results were well worth it. 

– Director Johnny K.

With principal photography wrapped, editing began and a rough cut was shown in November 2021 with all cast and crew seeing it for the first time together as a group.  Sound design and visual effects shots were added and finalized soon after, including the filming of the practical  Bird-of-Prey ship model, built by actor and model-maker Michael Bednar. 

The prologue sets up the story for the full Farragut Forward episode, currently in pre-production and to be filmed throughout 2022 and 2023, with an expected release in early 2024. 

Farragut Forward marks the return of of several classic characters from the Farragut universe, including John Broughton as Carter and Michael Bednar as Tacket. William Jay,  Dale Henry, and Matt Henry play Klingon officers. 

The Farragut Forward prologue features the track “War Drums” by Rhythm Scott, as well as music by Austrian composer Martin Puehringer.

Star Trek and the Culture of Fandom

StarTrek.com welcomes the newest addition to our blogging family, Daryl G. Frazetti, Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at CSU Channel Islands. Here, in the first piece, Professor Frazetti examines the topic of Star Trek and the Culture of Fandom.

Who are Star Trek fans? They are not simply teenage boys who live in their mother’s basements as the stereotype goes. They are not the glimpses of costumed characters the media airs when the Trekkies come to town. They are a diverse and vibrant cultural entity. Star Trek fans are educated, with as many, if not more, female fans as male fans, and come to fandom from a broad spectrum of age and demographic. This phenomenon of fandom stems from the fan attraction to the meanings in the mythos of Star Trek . Myths are value-laden discourse that focus on the examination or explanation of the human condition, therefore Star Trek is indeed a powerful myth that has acted as the basis for the formation of the fandom culture. S tar Trek represents modern/progressive myth, and as such it legitimizes fan participation in numerous activities. Myth explains the meaning which fans have assigned to both Star Trek and the archetype characters it has created. Star Trek acts as a secular myth for contemporary times by providing cultural symbols and meanings that serve as a model for the formation of a distinct culture.

Through the data of the fandom survey that was conducted in 2010, it can be said that the Trek myth is quite real to members of fandom, and like all myth, it is subject to continued reinterpretation on the individual level at varying points in time by the believers in the myth. There is certainly an incredible amount of individuality throughout the culture of fandom.  Despite this, it is still possible to identify core meanings in Star Trek , meanings that bind the individuals together as a valid cultural entity. The utopian future, concept of IDIC (infinite diversity in infinite combinations), and the humanistic study of the humanity are ideals shared across fandom. Star Trek is a futuristic portal, allowing fans to learn from the past, make changes in the present, and strive for a Trek future. Fans have found compatibility between the messages of Trek and personal beliefs, incorporating the myth into their daily lives with ease. All of this and more became clear, as a better understanding of the fans surfaced through their participation in this survey.

This survey was not intended to be the final word on fandom, as it is still quite the task to gather data and find a way to best represent the vast diversity that is Star Trek fandom. This survey was intended to reach out as far and wide as it could through the internet and act as the best guide to date on fandom. The following represents a brief synopsis of the data, particularly of some of the more focused on areas showing up on a variety of discussion boards.

The original fandom survey began as a small scale project to collect data on fan culture for a chapter on this topic in my forthcoming text, “Anthropology of Star Trek .” In an attempt to explore stereotypes and simultaneously reach out to the population of fans that are not always the ones focused on by the media, what most would call the “armchair” or “average” fan, I had constructed a fairly comprehensive survey, oftentimes asking the same question in different ways, and reaching out to both the online and convention communities. The anonymous survey was conducted online and 5, 041 individuals participated.  Fandom reaction to results has been interesting to say the least, with buzz about the ratio of female to male fans, how fans rate their participation, and the perceptions of costuming. For those not wishing to read an entire paper, this brief has been developed for the purposes of taking a bit more of a look at those target areas.  As is the case with any culture, Star Trek fans are quite the diverse group, and the data from this survey certainly supports that in a very large way.

One of the most interesting aspects of this survey was seeing how so many fans paused to give thought to their definitions or perceptions of Star Trek , fandom, and themselves. Many times emails would come in asking if someone should take the survey as they watched the shows but did not attend conventions, yet may have collected merchandise or had been influenced in some way. They were asking because they were not certain if they were part of fandom culture, or if a friend or family member were part of fandom culture. In attempting to gain as detailed a perspective of this culture, it was hoped that the survey would reach out to folks exactly like this, and many responses indicated that indeed they were what would be referred to as “arm-chair” fans. It was also interesting to see how many took this survey after having made such inquiries with me, and perhaps even more interesting to see how some of the responses evolved. Fans may not have begun with a high rating of themselves in comparison to how they felt other fans were involved in fandom (per the media stereotypes), yet had quite a bit to say regarding how they may have been impacted or influenced in some way in their lives (educationally, professionally, personally, or with respect to community involvement) through Star Trek . This supports the notion of a much deeper, much more diverse, fandom than what is typically portrayed by the media, and even in many instances by other fan groups or fandom outlets.

When fans were asked to rate themselves on a scale of 1-5 (1 being the least active, 5 being the most active) and were offered the opportunity to explain their rating, this is what resulted:

- 13% identified themselves as professional fans (fans who are now professional and working in Trek) and considered to be highly involved.

- Overwhelmingly, 82% considered themselves to be average to below-average in terms of involvement.

- 18% went all out to go into elaborate detail about how extremely involved they were as fans.

This group reported such activities as attending more than 10 conventions a year, belonging to 2 or more groups/clubs, having careers influenced by Star Trek , taking on Trek-related personas and being involved in costuming, and being either raised on Star Trek values or currently teaching others the values of Trek, including raising their own children on Trek.

- Others reported such activities as being involved in convention organization (11%), and following Star Trek in some way online (73%). One final note, 3% responding mentioned being hardcore prop collectors and another 17% commented on how their involvement with Trek has declined as they have aged.

The end result is a portrait that looks as though many who participated in this survey were either “arm-chair” fans, or did not feel what they did to be a part of Trek actually counted since it did not compare in their eyes to what they see the perhaps more stereotypical fans doing. Many of the 82% stated that they did not regularly attend conventions, some never have attended a convention, some purchased some merchandise, and many did not. Some had Trek related clothing (t-shirts and such) and many did not. A good majority of fans perceived of themselves as having a very low level of involvement. Most followed the shows in syndication or on DVD, with some reporting they follow the comics, magazines, books, or online discussions. Fans responding in this group felt that someone else was far more active as a fan than they were. This meant that if a fan wore costumes, attended conventions more frequently, collected merchandise, or followed actors, then they were seen by their own cultural peers as more active.

Results such as these were not expected, but were also not surprising either. Most fans participating fell between the ages of 41-50, single, and held some higher educational degree, indicating that many were indeed “arm-chair” fans who were now focused on other areas of their lives such as careers perhaps. Some also indicated working more than one job or a return to school for further training/education. Many also had reported that if they had the income, and/or time, they would find themselves more involved with collecting or traveling. Going online, and therefore participating in such a survey, is how these fans remain connected with Star Trek . Such results indicated a greater diversity in fandom, a greater number of fans simply do not fit the media molds of what a fan is. All Trek fans are simply not all that much alike. Go to a convention and you will find even there that fans pocket off into clusters with like minded folks just as groups do in any mainstream culture, and just as those do who do not participate in a stereotypical way.  All cultures need diversity in order to survive, grow, and thrive. Star Trek fandom is no different, and these results certainly support a greater deal of diversity than fandom has been given credit for.

Arising from Japanese origins, specifically anime, “cosplay” in the United States has now grown via science fiction and historical fantasy. Fans partake for a variety of reasons, many to emulate characters who have been most influential in their lives, or to take on personas based on a group or character they feel they most identify with ( Klingons , Vulcans , Spock , Kira ). It is not unusual to see many attending conventions, as such venues offer fans this opportunity to enter their personas and more fully participate in the myth, in the narrative that has become so personally meaningful to them. However, it is not a requirement to take on a persona or wear a costume of some sort in order to participate. Given how many do though, allows the media to focus in on this aspect, creating the stereotypes that still hold up today. Many fans did in fact feel that those participating in costuming or any type of role play at a convention often give off the impression that they are not fully in touch with reality, do not always see the actors as real people, and are not considered to be the majority of fans throughout the vastness of the fandom culture.

These same individuals have expressed concerns about the constant portrayal of fandom by the media as being all about folks dressing up and gathering by the thousands to collect merchandise and autographs. Not the case. Fans participate obviously in many ways, and most simply choose these other ways to take part in the myth. What was “normal” or what was “deviant” or “extreme” was asked of those taking this survey. Fans themselves were asked to describe and define these terms as they pertained to members of their own culture. Yes, the results did shatter the stereotypes, but were not unexpected, particularly given the amount of outreach for participants.

Some data of interest: When asked to define “normal” (comments were sorted and categorized, then sorted by number of participants per question):

- 67% stated that watching the shows, reading novels, or wearing a t-shirt and some merchandise collecting was normal.

- 59% stated in some way that wearing costumes and/or attending conventions was normal.

- 81% noted that community involvement or using their Trek interest in some positive way in life was normal.

- 79% stated that anything not obsessive in some way, living in the real world still, and being an all around good person, utilizing the values and ideals of Star Trek in some way constituted normal.

One fan simply stated that to them, normal was going on a Trek cruise and meeting other professionals that just enjoy Trek and have a normal mainstream life. To most this was the case as the data suggested, most fans are just leading average lives and enjoy watching the shows and occasionally enjoy connecting with other like-minded Trek fans.

So, what did fans say about what was “deviant” or “extreme”? (comments were sorted and categorized, then sorted by number of participants per question):

- 89% of respondents stated deviance could be defined as those who could not differentiate between reality and fantasy.

- 67% of respondents stated deviance could be defined as those who made Star Trek their entire world.

- 47% of respondents stated that deviance could be defined as those who dressed up.

- 39% of respondents stated that deviance could be defined as those who take on persona names or refer to themselves as any rank.

- 13% of respondents stated that fans producing fan films were considered to be deviant.

In part, responses demonstrated that many fans viewed those taking on personas, chasing actors, or costuming to the point of continuing such behaviors even outside of the convention arena were considered deviant or extreme. Meaning they did not appear to have social networks outside of Trek or have other interests outside of Trek. To those responding here, a good majority also felt that these sorts of actions, even dressing up, did not reflect what was felt to be the average Trek fan. Yes, this does debunk the stereotypes, but this is not a culture that can be pigeon-holed. It is a diverse and dynamic entity, well supported through the data in this survey. One quarter of those participating were from outside the United States, which perhaps also lent support to the shaping of the data for these questions. Star Trek fandom is a culture that is not only a brief moment in time, forming only when a convention is held, it is a dynamic and evolving entity with much diversity, just as meaningful as any other cultural entity one could study. This survey was circulated to dozens of sites via the internet, as well as several dozen conventions during 2010, and is a good reflection of sincere diversity that exists, supporting that there simply is no basis for the ever lingering media stereotypes.

Now onto women in fandom! Yes indeed, 57% that took this survey reported being female! That means 43% were males. That was not expected, but it was close. This data does support the history of Trek fandom, the current trends in fandom, and the rumors that have buzzed about since the 2009 film came out about how it brought in not only new fans, but more female fans. Women have held a strong presence in science fiction both as professionals and as fans for decades. Fanfic has been dominated by the female fan, and over the past several years, participation by women in fandom has been increasing. The data also demonstrated a correlation between age and sex, further supporting the idea that more women are entering Trek fandom due to the recent 2009 film. Of those females responding, 13 % were between 21-30, overall that age group accounted for 21% of respondents, the second highest age group following the 41-50 year olds, of which accounted for 34% of those responding to the survey in general, 19% were female. From Bjo Trimble and the original letter writing campaign to save the original series to Shirley Majewski (known fondly as the godmother of fandom), women have been a real driving force in Trek fandom. Various reports from the 1960’s and 1970’s rated female involvement in ranges between 17 and 80% at times, most especially in examining fanfic and clubs which were both female dominated areas in fandom and continue to be today.

Overall, the survey actually supports data from several others that have been conducted on smaller scales throughout the past two decades. Certainly it is not the number of participants, but also how they are selected that support a survey such as this. It was hoped that in designing a self- selecting survey with questions that asked fans to rate themselves, describe themselves, define terms, and define their activities, by asking similar questions in various ways, and by attempting to attract a wide range of participants, that a more balanced view of the Star Trek fandom culture would emerge. The data provided by this survey and the ways in which it supports past surveys of fandom suggests that this is a good indicator of much of the true nature of the culture and the overwhelming reports of the binding ideologies of IDIC (infinite diversity in infinite combinations) and Humanism. Yes, it would be more practical to select participants, a sample of the fandom, as self – selecting surveys can be biased. Given how supportive this data has been of other surveys is encouraging, and using this method has led to a more focused project that will be a full ethnographic study now, where a small and focused sample will be selected, making for a more scientific survey of fandom. In remaining unbiased, questions will again be designed in such a way as to not elicit specific responses. Additional methodologies will include observation/participant observation, and interviewing.

A Fan’s Guide to the Best Star Trek Fan Films

Posted in these interests:

Pop Culture

When it comes to Do-It-Yourself projects, the ultimate expression has to be  fan films . The amount of work required to pull off a fan film, from the construction of sets and costumes, to the writing, to the lighting, the camerawork, the acting, the direction, the sound design, the scoring… it’s a fabulously massive undertaking that requires an insane range of skills to even comprehend, let alone pull off with flare.

Star Trek  has long encouraged a range of intrepid explorers in the field, however. Fans from all backgrounds and walks of life have come together over the decades to share their love of the magic underlying this incredible setting, trying to share what they themselves love most about Roddenberry’s incredible vision for a socialist future where all people work for the betterment of society as a whole, and their own self-growth, rather than the accumulation of profit.

So, sit back and  engage  your senses as you travel through time and space on some kind of star “trek” in  a bold exploration of the imagination and the power of art.

1 – Digital Ghost (2000)

Digital Ghost is a German-made  Star Trek  fan-film set within the  Star Trek: Generations  timeline. The story involves two Enterprise-E crewmembers who are sent on a mission to test Starfleet’s new fully-autonomous starship design, and who soon discover that all may not be as it seems.

There aren’t magnificent sets in this one, but the CGI is surprisingly good, especially when you remember that this was made back in 2000. But, what stands out for me most with this film, is how well-acted it is. The CGI makes it all come alive, and there are some very clever moments in there, but what makes it engaging to watch is the interactions between the two visiting crewmembers and the experimental ship’s computer.

2 – Star Trek: Of Gods and Men (2007-2008)

There can absolutely be no better example of an  incredible   Star Trek  fan-film experience than one  which uses actual members of the original series cast! . Walter Keong and Nichelle Nichols star in this superb 3-part drama (finally combined into one feature film), and directed by  Tim Russ  (Tuvok in  Voyager ).

The story, the acting, the sets, and the CGI all positively glow in this one. The care, dedication, fun, and  love  of  Star Trek  is so plainly visible in every aspect of this film that it easily outshines most of the modern  Trek  material created by big studios.

3 – Star Trek: Axanar (2014)

Here we come to the biggest name on this list, because it was a landmark film in the evil of corporate Hollywood and the further eroding of artistic power in the world.  Axanar  was an incredible production, providing a powerhouse script, production value far beyond anything seen before, and a huge cast of veteran  Star Trek  actors (Richard Hatch, J. G. Hertzler, Kate Vernon, Gary Graham, Michael Hogan, and Tony Todd).

The film is a 22-minute documentary-style experience recounting the events of the Battle of Axanar, which was briefly mentioned in the original  Star Trek  series episode Whom Gods Destroy, and depicted in  Axanar  as a decisive military engagement between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.

The incredible feature film that had been planned for release was killed by the subsequent CBS/Paramount lawsuit, but this gem remains behind.

The film was so good, so popular, and raised such a huge budget on Kickstarter, that CBS and Paramount sued its creators in an attempt to destroy fans’ ability to produce similar work ever again. Sadly, they succeeded.

The resultant lawsuit ended with CBS/Paramount drawing up a restrictive list of rules that all future fan films would need to follow: “be no more than 15 minutes long and have no stories longer than two installments (for a total of 30 minutes); play on YouTube without commercials; and all participants are required to be amateurs who have never worked on Star Trek or another licensee of CBS or Paramount Pictures.”

This effectively killed off all  Star Trek  fan projects, forcing other planned productions like  Star Trek: Renegades  to quite literally go renegade and remove all references to  Star Trek  from their production.

It’s a truly sad example of how dismally copyright laws function in the world today, offering little protection to real creators while allowing mega-corps to demand ever-greater control over all the artistic projects that make it into the public eye.

4 – Star Trek: Renegades (2015)

Something is folding time and space around entire planets, cutting them off from the galaxy. Admiral Pavel Checkov (played by Walter Koenig) enlists the aid of Section 31 chief Tuvok (played by Tim Russ) in an effort to enlist an extra-Starfleet operation to discover the cause, a crew of misfits, even criminals, who can do what Starfleet can not.

Directed by Tim Russ, this was intended as a pilot episode for a new  Star Trek  series. When the pilot was rejected, a series was planned, but was later scrapped due to the disastrous move by CBS/Paramount to restrict the creative ability of fan productions. Renegades would then go on to live as its own science fiction production, removing all references to Star Trek to escape studio censorship.

5 – Star Trek: Horizon (2016)

In a time prior to the United Federation of Planets, a young coalition of worlds led by Earth battle the Romulan Star Empire for their very survival.

This was another masterful little fan production, falling someplace between grand productions like  Axanar  and  Of Gods and Men , and more amateur productions, and offering a first-class homage to the  Star Trek  universe.

While the planned sequel was annulled by CBS/Paramount due to their ridiculous feud with the  Axanar  production, we at least have the full feature film original to enjoy.

6 – Chance Encounter – A Star Trek Fan Film

A gentle and heart-warming science fiction love story, with all original characters, set within the Star Trek universe.

The Most Underrated Science Fiction Films of the 1970s 1970s scifi films included some of the greatest ever made, but also some unsung gems.

Quite possibly the sweetest little fan film in existence, the team behind this film would later go on to create  The Holy Core,  another  Star Trek  fan film that went even farther in the creation of something superb.

I absolutely love the writing of this one, as well as the acting. The special effects aren’t as sharp and polished as other productions, but I found that this doesn’t really matter much given how superb the rest of it is, and how much range of special effects through the many decades of  Trek  there is anyway!

I spent the entire film immersed, enjoying it as much as I’ve ever enjoyed another  Star Trek  experience, and I think you will as well.

7 – What We Left Behind (2019)

Ira Steven Behr announced a new  Deep Space Nine  project in 2017, eighteen years after the series finale,  What You Leave Behind , aired. Bearing the same title, this would be an immersive documentary journey into the creation of, and life of, the last great  Star Trek  series to air on TV.

The documentary is wonderfully potent, drawing back the cats and crew for an in-depth and sometimes harrowing discussion of the show’s making, with stars Alexander Siddig, Avery Brooks, Colm Meaney, Michael Dorn, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonois, and Terry Farrell all appearing to speak about their experience making the show.

DS9  was really transformational, managing to bridge all that had come before, with a deeper level of internal exploration than had been seen in Star Trek. Of course, there were downsides as well.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine  is a premise completely ripped off of J. Michael Straczynski’s  Babylon 5  series, which he had pitched unsuccessfully to Paramount some time before DS9 was put into production. Everything from the premise, to even at least one character’s name, was pulled from B5 without even a hint of shame.

And yet, however terrible that sin is, the seed of Straczynski’s initial vision, and the hard work of the amazing cast and crew of DS9, ended up providing  Star Trek  with its own brilliant jewel, something that offered a new type of show that kicks harder than previous iterations while maintaining the optimism, pacing, and theatric reverence that all embodies true  Trek .

8 – The Holy Core – A Star Trek Fan Production (2019)

A thoughtful and exciting adventure set in the TNG era of the “Star Trek” universe, featuring all original characters. The crew of a Federation starship assist the deeply religious Vitans to restore their polluted atmosphere after centuries of war. Events soon take an unexpected turn, however, and the crew must rely on their courage and principles to prevent disaster…

I love this one for the use of real sets, the style, the lighting… it’s a love-letter to everything great about TNG, and manages to be both exciting and reflective in its story and construction. Proof that, while Paramount/CBS gutted fans’ ability to create work of  Axanar  level production value, fans will continue to showcase their passion for the source material.

Seriously though,  this production uses full sets , and in an age where fan productions frequently rely on less-expensive green screen replacements, the use of real physical sets shows. It makes  The Holy Core  something unique and very special.

9 – Interlude: A Star Trek Fan Production (Axanar Continuity)

While not officially endorsed by the  Axanar  team, this little film dives into some of the  Axanar  continuity and envisions a short scene from one of the crucial battles of that timeline, as the new Klingon D7 cruisers are fielded for the first time.

It has a high-production feeling to it, though perhaps not quite as immerse as the original Axanar was. Still, a work of art, soul, and beauty, and I’m honestly just so impressed with all the great work that went into making this.

10 – Doomsday: A Star Trek Fan Production (2022)

Tales from The Neutral Zone in association with Avalon Universe presents “DOOMSDAY,” the third Star Trek Fan Film from Neutral Zone Studios in Kingsland, GA Based on the original story by Norman Sprinrad, music by Sol Kaplan, and visual effects by Samuel Cockings, “DOOMSDAY” is an exciting Star Trek adventure!

This  feels like TOS  and is just frankly incredible, offering up a brief vision of the original series’ brilliance with modern styling.
