first off and let me say that i be a great believer in fanpro stuff . i see it a a way to continue a good show long after it have be cancel . star trek voyage and star war revelation be example of decent effort . so i have a soft spot for fanpro stuff that mean i will overlook thing that i would ordinarily slate badly . so on to st represent hf . well and first off the good thing . enthusiasm be a major part of make any show believable and and for the most part and the crew of the various ship all seem to be have a good time with their role . next and the effect aren not bad for a home brew effort and with nothing to make you really wince . the story aren not too bad either . nothing particularly innovative and but solid enough stuff and at least there be ongoing story arc . but it have a lot of fault . first off and although they quite obviously have to rip off star trek footage and set backdrop and music and effect and i see no reason why they proceed to rip off virtually every other sci fi musical score ever make . everything from alien to starship trooper rear it orchestral head at one point or another . likewise and much of the footage be from other movie and dutifully cgi would over to make it look different . the grey warship and for instance and though disguise and be quite obviously star destroyer from star war . and the station be also rather obviously fleet battle station ticonderoga from starship trooper . likewise and sound effect from various star war movie appear in space battle between fighter and a do animate over footage . in one scene in either first or second season and i think and you even see two tie fighter fly past during a battle and which hardly do your suspension of disbelief any favour . act varies from the reasonable to the hideously painful to watch . everyone do improve a the season progress and though and but expect to grimace at the screen a lot and especially in the early season . they have also make some interesting acting choice . let just say that the food replicators on this show seem permanently set to cake and leave it at that . make up effect be generally quite effective on the whole . but they really ought to mercilessly club to death the person who decide to use cheap ferengi and cardassian mask for anything other than background use or pass shot . they be just beyond unrealistic . every time i saw one of these ( apart from try not to laugh too much ) i keep expect the unfortunate soul wear it to pull out a gun and announce that this be a stick up . in one scene a cardassian actually talk whilst wear one of these . not only do the lip not move and but the mask doesn not even have an opening where the mouth should be . someone need to be slap hard for that . couldn not they have take a craft knife to it and for goodness sake . there be also some well do and but unintentionally funny make up job and such a the herman munster look alike . the writing and though coherent and be nothing new . instead the script run like a continuation of ds9 and with the ship head out from ds12 on various mission . the new enemy and the grey aren not very menace and the plot line involve them be effectively a reworking of the borg thread . i. e. starfleet meet the grey and the grey be hugely powerful and starfleet barely escape with their life and then through technology they begin to find way to combat the enemy etc etc . all do before with the borg . another bone of contention be the dialogue . star trek writer have long have the ability to write insert technobabble here into a script . it usually mean an exposition of the late plan to combat the enemy use quantum phase discriminator or isolytic charge etc . in other word and nonsense that tell you that they be on the case and a resolution be at hand . the word be just gibberish really . i have no problem with this and but where st representhf make a mess of it be where they include real world comment into this concept . tactical advice such a we need to regroup sound good and but not when utter by trio of character already stand in a group . likewise when ask what the situation be and a tactical officer be hear to reply we count three battleship . he actually need to count them . c amon . i expect the questioner to ask him be you sure . or can you double check . but my all time favourite comment be this represent captain represent can we establish two way communication . comms officer represent no and we can only send and receive . well and duh . have say all the above and the show do improve a it go along . season 1 and 2 be pretty bad and 3 show an improvement but 4 and 5 be where it start to get noticeably well . season 6 so far look quite reasonable . i do have a problem with their choice of medium for the show though . quicktime suck and quite frankly and the sooner they move to divx or avi format the good . some of u like to actually take our download show and watch them on decent size screen and not peer at a tiny qt window on a computer monitor . not only do quicktime make this difficult and but the 320x180 resolution the show be in do not scale at all well . in fact and it make the show pretty unwatchable and like they be a tenth generation vhs tape copy . the least they could do be to include a hi re downloadable option . anyway and the show have promise and and i be even begin to like some of the character . but that 40 episode on and so i be not sure this say that much about character development at all . but what can you say and it free . ps represent out of 28 vote and 19 people rat this show a a 9 or 10. hmmmm . be we watch the same show . or be you 19 all three year old .
