A romantic dip into the Star Trek universe that holds to the tradition set by Gene Roddenberry. Even in a bright future the human drama continues - in this case with a mourning scientist, played with subtle poignentcy by Hayward Morse. He returns to the spot where his happiness began for one last moment. Excellent production values and use of existing Trek music and effects. Proves, as if it needed to, that Star Trek is about the human expereience. I could only wish that the cretins who are producing the dark and overproduced Star Treks for Paramount would sit down for once, grow up a bit, and watch this.

In the world of Paramount Television, the basic requirement of a Star Trek writer is that you must absolutely hate Star Trek. I mean, hate! Detest the Gene Roddenberry vision to the very core of your being. Star Trek Discovery was a mere rehersal in making what now amounts to Dark Trek. But at the very least it resembled Star Trek to some extent. Section 31 is the creschendo of Star Trek hatred. First. Take the most un-Trek of concerpts - Section 31. Second, Take an absolutley horrid character from STD and make her the star. Third, create a band of very unlikable suicide squad rip-offs character. Fourth. Make sure it in no way resembles Star Trek. Fifth, concoct a chopped salad of a story line. Maximum Hatred achived.

As a fan film it has much to credit it. Fidelity to the visual look. (Vic Mignanya was involved) It takes people who loved the look, feel and sound of 1960s Star Trek to obcess over the detail. Fidelity to the spirit of Star Trek (Molten curses ladled upon the miscreants at Paramount for producing Dark Trek) Today, more than ever, is is heart warming to see people carry on the spirit that has been so sullied by studio bosses who don't kow Star Trek from shinola. Fidelity to good storytelling. This is real drama with people you believe in a care for. And a devastating conclusion which I will never give away. Warp on!
