Where No Fan Has Gone Before…

Well for a mediocre fan film I must say that I’m shocked that this series is getting this sort of treatment. It turns out that Slice Of Scifi has reported that the fan film STAR TREK FARRAGUT is getting its own version of the 1974 STAR TREK ANIMATED SERIES.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

A landmark announcement was made at the end of last week about a collaboration, spearheaded by the cutting edge CGI production house, NEO f/x and the dramatic talents of the live action fan film, Starship Farragut, which will see the first Star Trek cell animation since the demise of Star Trek, The Animated Series in 1974! This is ground-breaking not only because of the scope of the project but because of the amazing array of fan and professional names that have been gathered to make it happen, led by Chase Masterson (Leeta on Deep Space Nine), Tim Russ (Tuvok on Voyager) and Vic Mignogna (the voice of Edward Elric on Fullmetal Alchemist).

Now while I am excited to see this sort of a thing happen. I’m not sure if STAR TREK FARRAGUT was the way to go with this. Why? Because frankly the show was mediocre at best…with away team gossiping that made me feel like I was watching The Hills more than a STAR TREK fan film and a long and tedious trudging scene that led up to a short lived phaser fight with out of shape Klingons…STAR TREK FARRAGUT in my humble opinion fell far short of being a stellar fan film worthy of this sort of treatment. Will I watch it? Sure I’m a Trekker so I will embrace this as I did its parent show…but if it disappoints…I’ll let you know that too.
