We're Back on TrekFM

This weekend, Jose and I made a triumphant return to TrekFM's Ready Room podcast. Instead of blathering on about Final Frontier again, we join Trek historian Larry Nemecek for a discussion on the current state of the Star Trek franchise and what we may see in the future. Listen to us on episode 47 here or find it on iTunes over here with pretty pictures. We come in at around the 43 minute mark and then talk for like an hour and a friggin' half. Many thanks to Chris and Greg for having us on again.

In actual Final Frontier news, the three of us are hard at work on new scripts, with three episodes planned to start. We'll be doing them in parts again, just as they would have aired if this thing had ever actually happened. We don't want to post anything until we're a little further along, so you guys won't have to wait too long between cliffhangers. Look for an announcement soon.

Oh, and we have a new domain name. You can now get to the page at www.startrekff.com. Of course, you're already here, so I guess you don't really need to know that. Old address will still work.

We Have a Fan Page

Facebook is killing off all the group pages, so we've started a fan page for the project. If you like it, click this button.

TrekFM Podcast

Dave, Jose, and I were guests on TrekFM's Ready Room podcast this past week. The episode was just posted today and can be found here. Or you can grab a much fancier version with chapter breaks and embedded links right here on iTunes. We talk a little bit about the fate of the project and the work that went into making it. Listen to it. Now.

STFF Sprites

Some Lucasarts-style sprite art of the main crew. Captain Chase and the Fate of Atlantis, anyone?

Yet Another Welcome Page

We have had a nice influx of new visitors thanks to a very cool piece over on Blastr that named us one of their "10 Awesome Unmade Star Trek Projects." We are in some very fine company alongside the likes of Bryan Singer, J. Michael Stracynski, and a sitcom Jonathan Frakes came up with after half a bottle of scotch called "The Rikers in Space." I thought it'd be good do do yet another front page that makes it a little easier to figure out where to go. So here that is.

The original pitch packet can be downloaded here, and will give you an idea of exactly how the project was pitched to CBS and Startrek.com. This site goes into a lot more detail about both the story and the work that went into it, and all that can be found by using that menu over there on the left.

The full script for the pilot episode is available right here. Keep in mind the episode was intended to air as a series of five shorts, so the structure is a little different. But still incredibly awesome.

A very talented artist named Mei-Yi Chun graciously lent his talents to the project to draw up full storyboards for the entire pilot, so if you'd rather check out the script with some visuals, there's like a bajilliion storyboards up in the gallery. I am working on a nice PDF that contains the boards alongside the script, but that's a lot of cutting and pasting and I don't know when it'll be done. So for now you're going to have to click. 

We have promised new scripts, and fully intend to deliver on that promise as soon as we have the time. Unfortunately at this point, Final Frontier is officially a passion project, and passion projects don't pay the rent. We're happy to answer any questions or respond to your criticisms of our spatula-shaped Enterprise in the comments section below. Thanks for visiting!
