There's a lot to like about this production, but in all good faith I can't say it's the best fan production I've ever seen. I like the characters and some of the character interactions. I like how the Exeter is visualized. I like the story. The overall production standard is quite respectable and very TOS like.
That said I can see myself giving it a 4/5 overall whereas the acting and writing stumble periodically on the order of 3/5.

I'd certainly rank it up there with most of the NV/P2 episodes that don't have George Takei.
B'Fuselek is a fascinatingly quirky character. I'd love to know where that name came from.

Principle photography was at Austin Studios in Austin Texas, next door to where Idiocracy was being shot. In fact, most of the Exeter carpeting and a lot of the Kongo cargo deck dressing came from Idiocracy. The planet exteriors scenes were shot at Big Bend National Park.
I never thought to ask where the name came from.

I don't remember noticing this until re-watching the show a few days ago, but -- at the end, the Exeter is being pummeled by Tholian fire, and Cutty makes a remark about the shields, so we know they're up -- so how does Vandi beam out the prototype, and the hapless Tressaurian?
Very carefully of course.
I came up with the name. At the time I was really into the Sean Connery/Michael Caine movie The Man Who Would Be King and there was a character in the film named Kafu-Salim. I corrupted it. K'fuselim / B'fuselek.
Cool, thanks!
That's a great little tidbit! Thanks for sharing!!
sorry for bringing a mostly inactive thread back to life, but I'd have felt bad starting a new one just for this reason.
I think it was mentioned by Maurice and others about a behind the scenes documentary on the making of The Tressaurian intersection, either that it was completed or that it was being assembled.
I still really want to see this as the one that was done for The Savage Empire was honestly informative and entertaining. I hope others also wish the same and that we'll finally see it released soon...
