So, I was looking at the site the other day... still no new news or ETA on this?

[Kyp Durron]

Nope, which is pretty crappy of them if you ask me.

I signed up for the email newsletter and nothing has yet to come. I would think they are busy but just a small update would be greatly appreciated. This project has received such huge press in the ST community I would think they would let us in a little more.

^I agree. It's not that I'm unwilling to be patient...in fact I AM...it's just with all the press surrounding this project, keeping the interest up and the fans up to date is definately a good idea...nae an ESSENTIAL idea.

I dunno if you all have seen the latest, but part one of OGAM is going to be up in December and the other two parts are going to follow soon after.

Well good, it was well over a year ago that I watched the 5 minute trailer when they released it at the 40th Ann Seattle Con. They said it was almost done then!

[TheHSBR]

If they wait too long for this it may collide with the promotion for the new movie. If hat happens it will either pick up steam or be completely overshadowed. They really need to get this released in December and not make any more delays.

I asked some of the Actors involved waaaay back at the LV Convention if they had any idea what was the schedule.

Basically all the work is done for free, and most likely underestimated the amount of work it would take and had other issues.

So... like the toys I love to get from DST... I simply am resigned that one day I will get to see it! But since it is free, I find it hard to be really upset with anyone involved.

[TheHSBR]

Its such a cool project I dont want it to get overshadowed by anything else. Id totally be willing to buy a dvd (if thats allowed) to help support the project. I really want this to be successful because i think it could spawn a whole bunch of new trek projects!

Part 1 is up!

Just got done watching it and I really did enjoy it.

I think it started out slow, but really picked up.

I liked the TOS plot tie ins (but won't mention them as to spoil anything.)

This seems like it has real promise!

[reverie]

I can't wait to see this.. it seems like it's been forever since I first found out about it! Sadly I'll have to wait unitl Thursday at the earliest since I'll have to do it at work (stupid dial-up at home ).

[FHC]

Well it's up and I have to say, not to bad!

[Chalksquared]

I just saw Of Gods and Men and I have a few questions.

So as not to spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen it, would anyone be willing to help me out? I figured a PM would be more courteous.

As for an example: NCC-1701-M?!?

[VulcanFanatic]

I watched it, pretty good for a fan film. Iwill definitley watch the next chapter to see how it turns out.

I think the answer your looking for is that "M" stands for "Museum".

[kamendreda]

I just watched it... Um... WOW! That was soooo about the worst Trek I have ever seen. It's like they went down the list of the worst actors in trek history and invited them to the shoot. Garrett Wang, Nichelle Nichols, Cirroc Lofton, Chase Masterson... wow. Those really are the worst actors ever in Star Trek.

I really appriciate what they were trying to do with this but my lord it was practically unwatchable.

I think the answer your looking for is that "M" stands for "Museum".

^ I know that's probably what they were going for, but it really is dumb. It's like going to visit the battleship Missouri at Pearl Harbor and finding someone painted an M after the 63. They should have had the ship's real registry on the hull and had it being towed out of spacedock via a couple of ships (with Starfleet Historical Conservation Corps., or similar markings). ... IMO anyway... besides, 200 years later when the Enterprise-L blows up, what do they use for a registry? Go right to N?! If the Enterprise-D hadn't blown up and had become a museum piece, would it have become the 1701-DM? Sounds like a cough syrup to me...

[Gothneo]

I was under the impression it was a "Replica" not an actual decommissioned ship... which seemed like quite an expense to me.. building a working replica just for museum purposes, and that was the reason it has the "M" designation. It also makes the assumption that the 1701 designation is never used again... which is something I think makes sense...

I never really understood the reuse of the same designation past an actual "refit" and once the original/refit enterprise was blown up in Wrath of Khan, any new ship (regardless of it's name) would have gotten a new number.

Likewise, the 170x numbers would/should have been used for constitution class ships only.

They got it right for "Enterprise" with the NX-01 designation.

I argue they got it wrong with TNG as it's a Galaxy Class ship, and thus should have been something like 2701.

Enterprise "C" is an "Ambassador" class ship, and Enterprise B is "Excelsior" class.

Only Enterprise A is constitution class, but is an entirely new ship with the Enterprise name.

So the only real Enterprise that should have had any letter designation was the one from the first two movies.

Part Two is up now... Tried to watch it a couple of times and my connection has just been so blocky that I can't really enjoy it... plus the browser actually crashed on the last attempt

It's been getting good reviews though, and I sure want to see it!

Any idea if the entire thing will be made available to just download so you can watch it anytime?

[slayerone76]

I finally got around to watching part 2. I'm not sure how I feel about the story as whole. Is is really awesome seeing our heroes back in action, but something feels off. I don't get why, when we are in the movie era that the ships are TOS. I don't like how the <spoiler>planet vulcan was destroyed. It was like the Vulcans had no clue and BOOM they were running. Is this the Mirror universe???<spoiler> The acting seems a bit pressed at times too.

I am hoping part 3 answers some of my questions.
