There’s a lot to be said for the high-profile Star Trek fan films of recent years; between Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase II, Starship Farragut, Star Trek: Of Gods and Men and the others, there’s a lot of interesting stuff to see. As an increasing number of ex-Trek professionals have gotten involved on both sides of [...]

Star Trek: Of Gods and Men Finale Online Early!
The final chapter of the mega fan film, Star Trek: Of Gods and Men, has hit the web a day earlier than promised. While it’s supposed to go up at 5PM on Father’s Day, instead they have a ‘sneak peak’ online a day early. To be honest, I haven’t watched any of them other than [...]
It almost doesn’t qualify as a fan film, since its cast is comprised almost entirely of people who previously appeared in the various Star Trek movies and TV series. Nonetheless, it’s still big news when segments of Star Trek: Of Gods And Men come out, and now the third and final installment will be released [...]

The big fan film news this week isn’t about something that happened, but rather something that didn’t happen: The mega-production, Star Trek: Of Gods And Men has been postponed yet again. Originally expected to debut around Christmas, 2006, part of the three-part, 90-minute feature was re-scheduled to be made available for download from the ST:OGAM [...]
Monday is usually ‘News Day’ at FCT, but we have a late-breaking story today: Starship Farragut, the long-awaited and much-hyped Star Trek fan series, will premiere its first episode with a public screening, followed by a Q&A panel, at this weekend’s Farpoint 2007 Sci-Fi Convention in Baltimore. The series’ pilot, The Captaincy, is based around [...]
