Fan Film Friday

[Captain Randy Hall]

Well, this makes two weeks in a row I haven't been able to cobble together Fan Film Friday, but I think you'll understand my reason when I state two words that have made things difficult: root canal.

Still, I think this is a good place to let you folks know, those who haven't heard, at least, that I'll begin putting in Spoiler Alerts starting next week. This approach seems to have the best of both worlds (sorry, I couldn't resist) so the people who don't want to read about the ending and those who want to read it can both enjoy reading the review.. I'll post the alert at what looks as a good spot in the plot description and recommend folks to jump down to my Clint Eastwood line unless they want the full treatment.

Let me know how (or if) it works!

 

[Barbreader]

I hope the root canal went well. Oy!

 

[Captain Randy Hall]

One root canal later, Fan Film Friday is back with a look at a German Star Trek fan film (with English subtitles, thank goodness) called "Digital Ghost." This production dates back to 2000, and it's an excellent look at the struggle of "man versus machine" when a fully automated Enterprise is taken for a final test run and (you guessed it) things go terribly wrong.

Your review may have overrun their server! I couldn't reach it when I was updating my own page on this film to include your review.

My webpage now includes your review, but doesn't include the picture it had, and I couldn't reach their server. http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/87.html

Hi, Barb. I don't have any problem downloading the file. Also, I used your file, and it seemed to get to the site AOK. Let me know if you're still having problems with the link.

 

[Barbreader]

It was fine a few hours later. I also switched my photo feed from their server... to yours.

Glad to hear it's working OK now. Sometimes pooters can go crazy with no warning at all.

Thanks for helping me out today, Barb. I was off having my home computer fixed, and that took longer than I expected.

By the way, "Revelations" is a terrific fan film and worth your time to check it out, if you haven't done so already!

 

[Captain Randy Hall]

By the way, I've been adding a Spoiler Alert in my columns for those who'd rather see the conclusion for themselves, while some who want to read the whole thing can still do so. While I consider it "the best of both worlds," I'm interested in any comments from folks who read the column. Let me know what you think.

This week's Fan Film Friday is the first of two parts, the first time I've done that in the year and a half I've done that, but Star Trek: Specter is good and long (in both meanings of the words), and I just didn't feel I could do the fan film justice in one segment so I'll complete the review next week.

Here's the link to the start of the review: http://scifipulse.net/?p=36477

Ha! My link to your article now works... I linked before I could actually get it to load this time... http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/94.html

Glad that worked out. I try the links before they go online, but even then, something can go wrong with the connection.

This Friday, It's Specter, Pt. 2!! Fan Film Friday: Star Trek: ‘Specter’—2 http://scifipulse.net/?p=36918 (Yes, already indexed from the STR Specter webpage so that people to first discover Fan Films next May will be able to find this review!)

 

[Captain Randy Hall]

This Friday, we catch the conclusion of Star Trek: "Specter,' when an enhanced Galaxy Class starship battles an enhanced version of the U.S.S. Voyager. Will the struggle end in time? Enjoy!

Things aren't right in Whoville as thousands of versions of the Doctor are captured by the Master. Can "a force for good" in the form of a mascot for a children's charity save the day?

Well, another week is in the can, so it's time for the latest Fan Film Friday. This time, it's another vignette featuring characters from Star Trek: Intrepid and Hidden Frontier called "One of Our Own."

Here's the link: http://scifipulse.net/?p=37341#more-37341

Enjoy!

 

[USS Intrepid]

Thanks for that Randy.

 

[Captain Randy Hall]

Thanks for that Randy.

My pleasure. Just keep on keeping on with Intrepid.

Another week is done, and it's time for a new edition of Fan Film Friday. This week we look at a production that has its own thread in the Fan Productions area: A review of "The American Invasion," the first film by the group Fallen Star, is available right here:
