Summary [ ]

" Now I have to go and replicate this five hundred and twelve times. "

The USS Enterprise -D is in the midst of a rendezvous with the USS Repulse . As a Repulse shuttle leaves the Enterprise 's hangar bay, Commander Riker contacts the Repulse and says they are on their way. The Repulse 's command officer acknowledges and asks that Riker give his regards to his captain. Riker then goes to report to Captain Picard 's ready room , where the ship's new chief engineer , Geordi La Forge , explains to both Picard and Riker about the containment module he's constructing in one of the ship's cargo bays . The containment module is to hold dangerous specimens of plasma plague that the Enterprise is going to be transferring for research to the Rachelis system in the hopes of developing an antidote.

Meanwhile, as the Enterprise begins to head for Rachelis at impulse , an energy pulse enters the ship. The pulse goes through the Enterprise 's corridors and crew quarters until it comes across Counselor Troi , asleep in her quarters. The life-force entity decides to settle in her womb , and Troi suddenly wakes up as she felt her body being impregnated by the alien entity.

Act One [ ]

The Enterprise also has a new chief medical officer ; Doctor Katherine Pulaski has replaced Doctor Crusher , who has left the ship to head Starfleet Medical . Captain Picard is annoyed when the new doctor fails to check in with him and is surprised when after calling down to sickbay , Picard discovers that Pulaski has already found the ship's Ten Forward lounge and he goes down there to meet her. He's met by Wesley Crusher coming out from a turbolift , who has temporarily remained aboard Enterprise and will shortly be joining his mother. Picard apologizes that their mission will delay that reunion, but Wesley says it gives him time to work on some projects before he leaves.

" Protocol may have been lax on your last assignment… "

When he admits that leaving the Enterprise will be difficult, Picard says service in Starfleet is always like that and it will be part of the life that Wesley is choosing and then is forced to agree when Wesley comments that Enterprise isn't just any other ship. Upon arriving at Ten Forward, Picard is pointed to Pulaski by Guinan , the lounge's bartender . When he arrives at her table, he finds her with Troi and as Picard begins lecturing Pulaski about protocol, she interrupts him and asks him to sit down as he needs to hear what they are talking about. Picard sits down and is informed that Troi is pregnant.

" This is Dr. Katherine Pulaski. We'll handle the formal introductions later. "

Shortly after, in a staff meeting in the observation lounge , Picard briefly introduces Dr. Pulaski to Worf , Data , and Riker, saying they'll handle formal introductions later as Riker reaches out to shake her hand. He then announces to the senior staff (minus La Forge, who has just finished with the construction of the containment module and is restarting Enterprise 's warp drive) that Troi is pregnant, which surprises Riker and he says so. Troi says it's even more of a surprise for her. Pulaski takes over and then reports on two separate examinations of Troi. The first exam shows the fetus at a rather early stage of development but still rather advanced considering she and Troi believe conception took place eleven hours previous, news which shocks Riker. Pulaski says the news just gets better as a second examination, which took place a few hours later shows that the fetus seems to have gained several weeks of growth. Pulaski says that at that rate, Troi will be ready to give birth in only 36 hours, while the normal Betazoid gestation period is ten months.

" This pregnancy is unlike anything I have ever encountered. "

Riker turns to Troi and, while he doesn't mean to sound indelicate, he demands to know who the father is. Troi says that while she slept the night before, something that she can only describe as a presence entered her body. Riker asks Pulaski what the baby is, and she says it is a male Human / Betazoid hybrid , exactly as Troi and there is no evidence of any genetic material other than hers.

Worf believes that the child represents a threat to the Enterprise 's security and should be aborted . Data says to Picard that doing so would deprive them of the opportunity to study this new lifeform . Worf says that laboratory analysis should still be possible if there is an abortion. When Riker asks if there would be any risks to Troi in such a procedure, Troi (who has been loudly hearing the baby's heartbeat as the others discuss the situation) finally speaks to Picard and says that he should do what is necessary to protect Enterprise , but that she is going to have this baby. At this, Picard therefore amicably states that the discussion is over.

Act Two [ ]

Several hours later, Troi's pregnancy has progressed rapidly, as Pulaski had predicted. Troi has changed into less formal clothing to accommodate her expanding womb. Meanwhile, the Enterprise arrives at the 'aucdet IX Federation research station to pick up the samples of deadly plasma plague as well as a medical trustee named Hester Dealt , who will supervise the transfer of plasma plague specimens to the Enterprise and then later to the Rachelis system. He asks Picard if he can inspect the containment module and explains that while he doesn't mean to sound distrustful of Picard's crew, it is only that they can't afford to make any kind of mistakes with these specimens. Picard agrees but he tells Dealt he wants a complete, detailed manifest of everything he intends to bring aboard the ship. Picard then has Data download the inventory and cross-reference it with the medical computer, while Riker arranges for Dealt to be transported aboard.

" Data, will you help me to sickbay? "

After receiving the final manifest, Picard sends Data to sickbay to review it with Dr. Pulaski. As Data heads for sickbay, he encounters Troi in a corridor, who has entered labor and asks for Data's help. When they arrive in sickbay, Data calls for Worf to bring his security team to sickbay. When Pulaski asks if that's necessary, Data says it is per Picard's orders. When Pulaski tells Troi that the father is usually present for deliveries that she's conducted, Data volunteers to fill in. Pulaski at first refuses, saying that Troi will need a comforting Human touch and not a cold hand of technology, but Troi assures the doctor that Data will do fine. After Worf and his team arrive, Pulaski tells him to stay back and that while she understands the need for them to be there, she insists they stay out from underfoot.

" This is an impatient baby! "

As they wait for the birth, Troi tells Data that he doesn't need to be nervous, but just be there for her. Data says he's not nervous but intrigued. He then asks Troi some rapid-fire questions about the baby which amuse her but then she interrupts him when labor intensifies. He then calls for Pulaski who comes over and the birthing process begins. Pulaski asks if Troi wants something for the pain, although it won't diminish the experience at all. Troi says she has not felt any pain which surprises Pulaski. Then very shortly afterward, the baby is born.

Pulaski cleans him off and then hands him to Troi, asking if easy births are the norm for Betazoids and Troi says it's not, at least according to her mother . Data thanks Troi for the opportunity to observe the birth and states that it was remarkable. Pulaski asks Troi if she has a name and she says he will be named Ian Andrew, after her late father .

" Please don't worry. Everything is okay. "

Then Riker (who came in during the birth) steps up and tells Troi that the baby is beautiful, just like her. He then bends down and kisses her cheek. Pulaski asks Troi how she feels, and she says she feels wonderful and thanks Pulaski for everything. But after only a few hours, when Pulaski and Picard come to check on Troi, they are shocked to find out that Ian has grown into a young boy, appearing the age of four and is already able to speak. Ian tells Picard not to worry and that everything will be fine.

Act Three [ ]

Data and Dr. Pulaski are performing research on the manifest list in sickbay. It is taking longer than expected to categorize the specimens. It appears a significant number of them are genetically engineered. She deems this an excessive amount of engineering and informs Picard of the danger to the ship. Data then goes to Transporter room 3, joining Lieutenant Miles O'Brien , for the transport of the virus. O'Brien beams it up in batches without incident.

Meanwhile, Troi is taking care of Ian. She brings him to play with a litter of puppies in the ship's nursery . He's quite tactile, according to the officer there, Miss Gladstone . At supper, Picard and Dr. Pulaski check in. Ian, wanting to experience the hot temperature of his soup, inserts his finger, only to be burnt. He then is confused when his face is wet from his subsequent crying . He then implies he knows why he is on the Enterprise but is not quite ready to articulate it.

" Don't you see your future? "

In Ten Forward, Wesley walks over to look out into space at one of the lounge's large viewports . He contemplates his departure from the Enterprise , as he was expected to join his mother at Starfleet Medical during her duration there. While doing so, he is observed by new shipmate, Guinan. The two carry on a conversation about his status on the Enterprise and what is in his best interest.

The Enterprise leaves for Rachelis , however, before long the containment module shows a serious malfunction.

Act Four [ ]

La Forge is having trouble isolating the problem with the containment. One of the specimens is now showing growth. Riker, Data, and Dr. Pulaski all converge on the cargo bay. They cannot release the module or else they will risk the plague growing into a spore until it hits a planet or another ship, which they cannot allow. La Forge is showing all the right environmental settings for the containment, and sensor malfunctions don't seem to be the problem. Studying the etiology report for the virus, Dr. Pulaski discovers it was a mutated strain developed by a Dr. Susan Nuress during an outbreak of plasma plague in the Oby system . She also uncovers that it was bombarded by Eichner radiation . She speculates that this particular radiation could be the reason for the virus' growth. However, they rule out known sources.

Meanwhile, Troi is putting Ian to bed. Ian states that he is the source of the problem and that only he can resolve the situation. Troi realizes he is deciding to die and calls a medical emergency. Shortly after, Ian passes away in the arms of Troi.

Act Five [ ]

Dr. Pulaski arrives with Data and Riker to Troi's quarters. She verifies Ian's death, and Data scans him, determining that he is the source of the radiation. Several minutes later, Ian transforms back to the glowing white light that visited Troi earlier and thanks her for the experience. Ian explains he is a lifeform who was curious about the Enterprise crew when passing by and thought the best way to learn about them was to experience their lives as one of them, so he implanted himself in Troi's womb, becoming her child to do so. The light leaves the ship, and La Forge calls in, saying the containment is stabilized. Troi is left to grieve.

The Enterprise reaches the science station and begins to transport both Dealt and the virus. Meanwhile, Wesley meets with Picard and requests that he be allowed to stay on the Enterprise . Picard doesn't decide right away, feeling that the decision wasn't his responsibility alone and that allowing Wesley to remain would create difficulties for all. Picard decides that Data could assume responsibility for Wesley's studies. When Riker asks " Who will tuck him in at night? ", Worf accepts that responsibility and Troi expresses confidence that Wes will get his sleep. Picard agrees that the practical is then taken care of but as there's much more to growing up than just the practical matters, he then asks Riker if he would be interested in serving in that regard, and Riker agrees. With that taken care of, Picard tells Wesley to communicate with his mother at Starfleet Medical, giving her Picard's regards and telling her that Picard has approved Wesley's request to stay on the Enterprise , but that the final decision would be hers. Wesley is grateful and enthusiastically believes that Beverly will agree.

Wesley Crusher becomes the regular conn (helm) officer on the bridge as La Forge is relocated as chief engineer to the rear of the bridge. Picard orders Ensign Crusher to break the Enterprise out of orbit from Science Station Tango Sierra and take the ship to the Morgana Quadrant .

Background information [ ]

Production history [ ].

• Mentioned by Burton Armus , in a one-page memo listing five one-liners for second season stories in development: 11 August 1988
• Third revised final draft script: 20 September 1988 [1]
• Premiere airdate: 21 November 1988
• First UK airdate: 3 April 1991
• This episode was actually a rewrite of an episode with the same title written for Star Trek: Phase II , a series that was scrapped in favor of producing Star Trek: The Motion Picture . In the Phase II script by Jaron Summers and Jon Povill , Ilia (and later, the USS Enterprise ) was "impregnated." This episode and " Devil's Due " were earmarked for possible recycling for Star Trek: The Next Generation , in anticipation of what became a lengthy Screen Writers' Guild strike which delayed production on Season 2. In the original Phase II story, Ilia gave birth to a baby girl, Irska, who posed a similar threat to the Enterprise by having a weakening effect on the ship's hull. ( Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion  (2nd ed., p. 66)) In the first draft script, though, the alien child considered Uhura and Chekov as possible host bodies before finally settling on Ilia. The Enterprise soon encountered an alien cylinder that endangered the ship and crew by creating problems that only the child, Irska, had the means to resolve. ( Star Trek Phase II: The Lost Series ) Maurice Hurley stated that his rewrites were based on the Phase II story rather than the original script, which he never read. ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages , p. 173)
• According to Director Rob Bowman , " The idea of carrying the bug on board in the containment grid came from the movie Sorcerer , which came from a French movie The Wages of Fear in which wet dynamite had to be taken across the jungle. That was our thread of jeopardy. " ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages , p. 173)

Cast and characters [ ]

Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Stewart on the set of "The Child"

• Before this episode (but after Stardate 41986.0), Lieutenant junior grade Geordi La Forge was promoted to lieutenant and became chief engineer of the Enterprise -D, and both he and Lieutenant jg. Worf switched to the operations division .
• This episode introduced the characters of Katherine Pulaski and Guinan . Dr. Beverly Crusher is explained to have left the ship to become head of Starfleet Medical . Actress Gates McFadden left at the end of Season 1, hence this is the first episode of the series in which she does not appear .
• Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg asked Gene Roddenberry (through her friend LeVar Burton ) to create a recurring role for her because she was a big fan of the show. ( Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion  (2nd ed., p. 64))

Production [ ]

Goldberg, Wheaton, and Director Rob Bowman

• Rob Bowman was granted permission by Rick Berman to use extra cameras and equipment for this episode. ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages , p. 173) Consequently, this installment was a rare example in which a camera crane was used (in common with the fifth season episode " Power Play "). ( Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages , p. 14) Bowman explained, " As far as my involvement, I think that being the first episode of the second season, my thrust was to make sure we gave the audience something that would justify their wait over the summer for the first episode. Simply put, it was just that. Here's our audience of loyal Trekkies […] I said, 'We must give them a great first episode to welcome them back, instead of kind of resting on our laurels.' That was the agreement between Rick Berman and I, and we went a little bit extra on quite a bit. " ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages , p. 173)
• Troi actress Marina Sirtis revealed in an interview that her "big fat stomach" in this episode was filled with birdseed. ("Selected Crew Analysis Year Two", TNG Season 2 DVD special feature)
• In this episode, Composer Dennis McCarthy heralded the return of TNG with a "triumphant" rendition of "Picard's Theme".

Deleted scenes [ ]

Several scenes were filmed but later cut from the episode during editing. These scenes came to light in March 2013 , when Canadian Star Trek collector Cyril "Patchou" Paciullo (owning workprints of several more Next Generation episodes) uploaded the contents of an early workprint VHS tape of the episode to the internet. [2]

• Act 2, Scenes 31-32 – Deanna Troi retires to her quarters and speaks to her yet-unborn child.
• Act 2, Scene 34 – Hester Dealt and Geordi La Forge discuss the status of the containment module .
• Act 2, Scene 42-44 – Pieces of the Troi birthing scene, including Katherine Pulaski announcing Ian Troi 's gender and weight (6lbs, 3oz), Jean-Luc Picard congratulating Deanna Troi, and Riker dismissing Worf and his security team.
• Act 3, Scene 53 – Miles O'Brien and Data work to transport the virus aboard; Data identifies himself to the computer by his full name ("NFN NMI Data"). (NFN NMI = No First Name No Middle Initial)
• Act 3, Scene 59 – An extended visit with Troi and Ian in their quarters; Ian dumps a beverage on his lap to experience the sensation.
• Act 4, Scene 76 – Wesley Crusher arrives on the bridge after his last discussion with Guinan .

Paciullo submitted his tapes to TrekCore , who in turn brought him into contact with CBS. [3] However, the tape of this episode was discovered far too late for the deleted scenes to be incorporated in the remastered episode, or otherwise be included on the 2012 TNG Season 2 Blu-ray release, as were his tapes of the third season episodes " Evolution " and " The Bonding " for inclusion on their 2013 corresponding release . Still, his tapes of the fourth season episodes " The Wounded " and " Brothers " were uncovered just in time for the deleted scenes to be remastered in high definition and incorporated as part of the bonus features "Deleted Scenes" on the TNG Season 4 Blu-ray set. The tapes, nine in total, were acquired by Paciullo as Lot 77 , estimated at US$200-$400, at the Propworx ' The official STAR TREK prop and costume auction of 8 August 2010 for US$360 (including buyer's premium). [4]

Continuity [ ]

• The conn and ops seats at the front of the bridge are now upright, instead of heavily reclined as they were in Season 1.
• Ten Forward debuts in this episode. It is located on Deck 10, Forward Station 1. The turbolift command to get there will later be shortened to " Deck 10, Forward, " or simply " Ten Forward. "
• The ship computer erroneously refers to Shuttlebay 2 as "Docking Bay 3" after the shuttlecraft from the USS Repulse exits the Enterprise .
• The panel that Dr. Katharine Pulaski brings up to research the origins of the plasma plague contains the names of TNG staff members Rob Bowman, Maurice Hurley, Jaron Sommers, Jon Povill, Robert Legato , and Gary Hutzel .
• Deanna Troi debuts her maroon casual attire in this episode.
• This is also the first episode in which Riker wears a beard . He gained it after Jonathan Frakes returned for filming having grown it, intending to shave it off for the new season. During the hiatus, he appeared with Gene Roddenberry at a convention. Roddenberry asked the audience for their opinion of Frakes' beard. The resulting cheering convinced Roddenberry to ask him to keep it and the beard became an iconic part of the character. It also coined the phrase "Growing the Beard" in which a show starts to turn good. [6] Frakes eventually shaved it off ten years later in Star Trek: Insurrection (although he regrew it by the time Star Trek Nemesis came around).
• Troi is seen wearing a new hairstyle, which is kept throughout the rest of the season; the hair is long, in loose, neat curls, and taken back from her face, held by a headband.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Worf's silver baldric , which he kept throughout the remainder of The Next Generation , throughout his stint on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and in all four TNG movies . His previous (gold fabric) baldric was of the type worn by Klingon commanders in Star Trek: The Original Series . This episode also shows that Worf is now the official permanent security chief, having been made "acting" chief of security following the death of Natasha Yar in " Skin Of Evil ".
• This is the only second season episode to have Beverly Crusher referenced. She is seen in archive footage in Season 2 finale " Shades of Gray ".
• This is the first episode where Wesley Crusher wears a combadge , even though he was made an acting ensign in Season 1 and there is nothing to indicate a status change since that time. Wesley also debuts his gray "acting ensign's" uniform, which he wears until the end of third season episode " Ménage à Troi ".
• From this episode on, the transporter will be "energized" by running the hand above the three "glow strips" on the console, similar to how Star Trek: The Original Series ' transporter was activated. Those glow strips have been on the console since the beginning of the series, but had not previously been used to energize the transporter.
• The warp speed visual effect, shown from inside the Enterprise -D, debuts in this episode. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , it was modified to include a "flash" at the end of the sequence.

Reception [ ]

• Director Rob Bowman recalled, " I remember it being a very nice show for Marina Sirtis. She had a little bit more leeway to work with and expose her character, and I thought she came through with flying colors. Photographically, I know we went for more of a feature look, although the consensus from the studio was that it was too dark and looked too much like a feature, so we brightened it up a little. " ("Rob Bowman – Director of a Dozen", The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine  issue 10 , p. 18)
• A mission report for this episode, by Will Murray, was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine  issue 5 , pp. 13-16.
• Maurice Hurley noted, " 'The Child' suffered from being the first episode of the second season more than anything else. " ( Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages , p. 173)
• Composer Dennis McCarthy cited the opening theme of "The Child" as his favorite theme. ("Departmental Briefing Year Two: Production – Music", TNG Season 2 DVD special feature)
• This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore) (Dennis McCarthy).

FanMade: Review Star Trek Phase II “Blood and Fire, Part 1”

Coming in just under the wire, today the fan series Star Trek Phase II released their first (and only) episode of the year (and their first since changing names from New Voyages). "Blood and Fire, Part 1" has generated a lot of buzz for its controversial subject matter, but is it also good Star Trek? TrekMovie weighs in with a full review below. [SPOILERS]

STAR TREK REVIEWED

Links to hundreds of star trek fan films. founded by barb reader., you are on the new str website, which is still under construction. the original str website will remain online until this new site is complete., star trek new voyages: phase ii.

http://www.stnv.de

James Cawley is a professional Elvis Presley imitator and his hobby has always been Star Trek. He was given the original blueprints to the Desilu sets and started to build them. After b uilding the bridge, sickbay and several other sets, he teamed up with the director Jack Marshall and a number of fans whose aim it was to create the missing two years of the original five year mission under James T. Kirk. 

The Star Trek New Voyages team started to create new episodes, based on the original series, to continue where Kirk and his crew had left off when their series was cancelled. They are even numbering their episodes as the fourth season and have so far managed to release 11 new episodes (including the Pilot from 2003). 

The series was made as a fan film project under the direction of James Cawley, who also played James T. Kirk in the New Voyages/Phase II incarnation until mid-2012. Starting with “Bread and Savagery”, Cawley passed on the iconic role of Captain Kirk to the professional actor Brian Gross. James continued to helm the show as Executive Producer, making costumes etc.

Come What May

00 — 39min 58sec — 16 January 2004 The series pilot

Episode Page: http://www.stnv.de/cwm

Withdrawn from the official Phase II website but is once again available on the Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II-International website.

Rating: 2.5 or 3. This original pilot is not as technically proficient as their other episodes. It has a convoluted plot which, in many ways, doesn't quite work. Still, this episode would be the pride of many of the other fan film groups.

This show introduces us to the new cast for TOS, but the story is convoluted, and not only because there are two sets of entirely unknown aliens who have undefined special powers but also because the main characters, particularly Kirk, act strangely. Kirk trusts an alien woman who has proven herself untrustworthy, and seems to know which of two aliens caused a problem without any evidence. The writer seems to want to grab the Q and the Borg and bring them, together, back into TOS. The sets are excellent, the acting is good, particularly considering how weak the script is. The editing is excellent, and the show holds our interest. The use of images from the TOS shows and movies recast with the new actors helps us in the transition, which, years later, was also made by Paramount. - Barb Reader

In Harms Way

01 — 50min 46sec — 08 October 2004 In an adventure that spans centuries, Captain Kirk fights alongside a U.S.S. Enterprise from the past to stop the devastating "Doomsday Wars" that should never have happened. In a universe forever changed by those events, the crew of the Enterprise must once again battle the powerful juggernaut known as the "Doomsday Machine."

Download and watch this from Star Trek Phase II International: https://www.stnv.de/inharmsway

This show is better written than "Come What May," and instead suffers from, if anything, a little too much realism. In fact, the repeated, similar problems the crew encounters, in which it takes a few tries to get it right, feels more like real life than like TV.  Maybe just a little too much like real life.  This show is also the beginning of Phase II/New Voyages signature, the use of aged original TOS actors in their films.  The time jumping was hard to follow, but it was in keeping with the Star Trek pre-JJA use of timelines, even if it would have given Captain Janeway a headache.  It was confusing, but coherent, the opposite of "Come What May." One of the elements of fan films which is commendable is how many, including this one, build on elements from past shows and movies, although the use of Doomsday Machine Wars seems to be a fan film theme which has been done a number of times by various groups. Given our current worry about nuclear proliferation, that is, perhaps, appropriate as well. I rate this episode a strong 3.5. The show had a strong 'fun' factor, showing us the space shuttle in a typical one-car garage in a modest suburban home, and bringing us back to where TOS started, with a shot of the injured Pike waiting for his journey to the planet where his life will go on, if only as an illusion.  It is more amateurish than Phase II/New Voyages' later show but shows significant growth, too. Much of the plot seems to turn around trying to allow William Windom his return performance.   The idea that the attack of the Doomsday Machines would cause the Klingon alliance to happen earlier is certainly believable.  However, the show has the feeling of trying to just do too much. You feel their anxiety that this could be their last show, and they are trying to squeeze too much into it.  As time goes on, the confidence of the Phase II team grows, and their product improves with their confidence. - Barb Reader

The choices he makes will resonate through the galaxy for years to come. This extended-length episode not only explores Klingon society and their home planet but bridges the gap between the TOS Klingon Empire and Klingon Empire we saw in the feature films.

The Current official webpage on this production is at https://www.stnv.de/en/4x11_torment_of_destiny.php

The Oracle Room set from the original episode was painstakingly recreated for this production, as was Natira’s wig and dress to near perfection. Filming began July 10th and ended July 24th 2015 on location and at Ticonderoga, New York. Somebody other than Star Trek Phase II advertised a version of this film but required that you sign up for it at  http://themoovi.site/series/79256/1/11  (40:00) - Dead link as at 07 Jan, 2021, nothing on Wayback Machine either. " Update Feb. 2018: Due to the CBS Fan-Film Guidelines, post-production work on this episode has been halted. All scenes have been filmed, but there are about 180 visual effects that need to be added to the episode, which would be many months of work. As two of our three visual effects experts can no longer work on the project due to the restrictions of the Fan-Film guidelines, completion of this episode cannot continue without special permission being granted from CBS. This is unlikely during release of Discovery and we are unsure if this episode will ever be permitted to be completed. We understand this is disappointing for our loyal fans, but we are not responsible for the events that led up to the release of those guidelines. " < LINK > IMDB .

Written & directed by David Gerrold based on one of a number of story pitches he made to Star Trek The Original Series, "The Protracted Man". At the start of 2021 James Cawley posted on his Facebook account that he had "stumbled upon a DVD of the only existing workprint" of this unfinished film and graciously decided to share it online even though it reminded him of the significant issues it had caused for him which "led me to quit acting as Kirk, and scale back my involvement in this show and my absolute loathing for all things fan film." It was missing VFX shots and final sound mix which led to it's abandonment. 17 Jan - Part 1 of this unreleased work is marked as 'Private' and Part 2 is marked as 'Removed by the uploader' IMDB .

Web Video / Star Trek: New Voyages

Edit locked.

James Cawley plays the role of Captain James Kirk in what's supposed to be the fourth year of the Enterprise 's original five-year mission. Starting with "Mind-Sifter", Brian Gross has taken over the role of Kirk.

To date, eleven episodes have been released - "Come What May" (the pilot episode) "In Harm's Way", "To Serve All My Days", "World Enough and Time", "Blood and Fire" (a two-part episode written by original series scribe David Gerrold), "Enemy: Starfleet!", "The Child" and "Kitumba" (both adapted from scripts written for the original Star Trek: Phase II series, the former of which became Star Trek: The Motion Picture .), "Mind-Sifter", and "The Holiest Thing". As the series has been discontinued mid-production, the episodes "Bread and Savagery" and "The Protracted Man" are in limbo.

Four short vignettes - "Center Seat", "No Win Scenario", "1701 Pennsylvania Ave" and "Going Boldly" (which introduces a new actor for Kirk) - have also been released.

Tropes associated with this work include:

• All Just a Dream ... Or Was It a Dream? : The episode "To Serve All My Days", in which Chekhov is afflicted with Rapid Aging to the point where he may have died, has a final scene at the end of the closing credits that may suggest that most of the whole episode was just a dream he had .
• Book Ends : The beginning and ending parts of "World Enough And Time".

• The Bus Came Back : LIEUTENANT Rand is on the bridge of the Enterprise , prompting Kirk to record "The more things change, the more they remain the same."
• Cut Short : Much like the show on which it was based , New Voyages never got a proper conclusion due to Cawley's decision to cease production after CBS instituted their new fanfilm guidelines.
• Downer Ending : "To Serve All My Days", which turns out to be just a dream .
• Expy : Ensign Isel for Ilia , due to being set before the original Phase II would have been (She's Deltan but appears to have a full head of hair — until you see the various wigs in her quarters. Apparently she just likes to wear them.)
• Subverted in "Blood and Fire" when Kirk asks Bones to solve a deadly disease that's baffled doctors for a century. Before McCoy even opens his mouth, Kirk says "I know, I know, you're a doctor, not a miracle worker."
• Played straight in "The Holiest Thing" when Kirk realizes Spock basically accused one of Carol Marcus' recently killed teammates of causing the explosion that blew up their base.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall : In "Kitumba", the bridge crew is speculating as to the state of the Klingon Empire in 100 years' time. Bones comments that he's glad he won't be around to see it; prompting the camera to linger on the four Enterprise crewmembers who will indeed make appearances in about 100 years' time during the TNG -era: Bones (" Encounter at Farpoint "), Spock (" Unification "), Scotty (" Relics "), and Kirk ( Star Trek: Generations ).
• Literary Allusion Title : "World Enough And Time" is from the first line of "To His Coy Mistress", a poem by Andrew Marvell : "Had we but world enough, and time, this coyness, lady, were no crime."
• Lower-Deck Episode : The vignette "Center Seat" features Lt. Sulu and Lt. DeSalle. (In the original series, DeSalle appeared in three episodes - "Catspaw", "The Squire of Gothos" and "This Side of Paradise". )
• Not Even Bothering with the Accent : The actor playing McCoy makes no effort to mimic DeForest Kelley's signature drawl. The guy playing Scotty at least tries .
• Rapid Aging : Chekhov in "To Serve All My Days", with the older version played by the character's original actor Walter Koenig.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory : The fan episode "In Harm's Way" treads similar ground to the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"; history is altered such that the Federation is fighting a losing war against a fleet of Doomsday Machines, and Kirk and his crew are stationed aboard the USS Farragut , with a Klingon first officer. Only Spock, who was engaged in studying the Guardian of Forever when the change took place, remembers the way things are "supposed" to be.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong : "In Harm's Way"
• Special Guest : Walter Koenig as an older Chekhov in "To Serve All My Days", George Takei as an older Hikaru Sulu in "World Enough And Time", Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand, Denise Crosby as Dr. Jenna Yar.
• The Stinger : The last scene at the end of the credits for the episode "To Serve All My Days".
• Timey-Wimey Ball : "In Harm's Way" shows an alternate time-line where the Doomsday Weapon (from the original series episode "The Doomsday Weapon") was sent back through time, where it destroyed the Enterprise under command of Christopher Pike and proceeded to multiply and wreak havoc throughout the galaxy. Years later, Kirk is in command of the USS Farragut (with a Klingon first officer), and is summoned by Spock to the planet Gateway (home of the Guardian of Forever) in order to lead a mission into the past to destroy the Doomsday Machine before it could destroy Pike's Enterprise and threaten all life throughout the galaxy. Added to the mix later on are Admiral Kirk and Mr. Spock from 10 years later, attempting to avert the accident that left Pike a vegetable.
• Trapped in the Past : In "In Harm's Way", Kirk, Spock and McCoy learn that Commodore Decker survived his suicide run against the Doomsday Weapon, only to be sent back to the 1990s. He spent the last years of his life at the beginning of the 21st century, and left a farewell video tape for Kirk. William Windom, the actor who played Decker originally, reprised his role for this episode.
• Year Outside, Hour Inside : "World Enough And Time" has Sulu and a Red Shirt specialist transported to another dimension while the Enterprise was trying to beam them out of the Romulan ship inside a multidimensional spatial anomaly that they are trapped in. Sulu and the specialist apparently spent years inside that dimension during which he had fathered a daughter through her, which explains why he appears on the Enterprise as an older man (played by the character's original actor George Takei).
