Okay so I watched the movie over at Vimeo and I really love it.

I was just confused on the scene where after Kara materialized back to Aurora and escaped the nebula and the Lone Star was 2 days out there in contrast with the vulcan girl said at first that they were 57 seconds out there and suddenly her instruments confirmed the Lone Star's claim....  that then Kara starts laughing...

Why did she laugh?

And how did they have been missing for 2 days while clearly they were just minutes in time from that explosion?

Sorry, can't help you.  I was all excited about a new Star Trek film, only to find out it was a fan fiction one, and an animated one at that.  I've never been into the whole fan fiction aspect of Star Trek, and I'm not a huge fan of animated movies.

Simple.

Outside of Aurora's warp field, time was progressing at the same real time she was experiencing in the alternate universe. Inside the warp bubble, time was slowed. From the outside of the event, Aurora would have been experiencing that 57 seconds over a two day period. The instruments self corrected when things like stellar drift and planetary positioning was measured against recorded time.

Which was likely the reason Kara got a laugh out of it. The two day time lapse kind of heavily suggested that her experiences were not the result of hallucinations; but that at least in one universe, her family was alive and well.....and she'd managed to kick herself in the ass for almost screwing up a good thing. Plus the fact that in breaking the link between the two Kara's, the only physical evidence that would -prove- what had really happened was gone.

Plus you could add the fact that her baby -survived- going to warp in a nebula, on the leading edge of a proto-matter explosion. Not bad for reconditioned gunship.....

And if you didn't watch Aurora, you might want to give it a whirl, Acadia. No MarySue whatsover. Just a story set in the Classic Trek universe, and Starfleet is quite secondary. And you never see the Enterprise, or any of the classic cast.

Sounds like a take off of Voyager episode Season 5, Episode 13 called Gravity.

Acadia, this is the most original Star Trek I've ever seen, although I admit I quit watching Voyager after 2 episodes. If you saw the latest Star Trek movie, the time anomalies are pretty familiar. Like you, I normally don't watch animation, but this is well worth it, both for the story and the characters. T'ling is now my favorite Vulcan, and that's saying a lot for someone who bawled their head off when Spock died (for a while).

I didn't get into any of the events leading up to what I described.....which are -not- taken from any pre-existing Trek series.  If anything, the root of some of it comes from 'Mirror, Mirror'.....only Kara doesn't go to =that= parallel universe. And this is about the civilians who travel the final frontier, not Starfleet's trained officers and crew.

Plus I was throwing treknobabble.....that can sound like any dozen episodes across Classic, NextGen, DS-9,Voyager, Enterprise you can name.  :P 

they snazzed up voyager when they added the borg girl IMVHO.  skin-tite suits, corsets and 4-inch heels and all that.

I watched until about 20 minutes in, and just couldn't watch anymore.  It has as much space feel as Deep Space Nine, which didn't keep my interest beyond a handful of shows.  Plus, I can't get beyond the animation.  The only animation that I enjoy is pretty much limited to The Flintstones and The Jetsons.

So far as the quality of the animation of this short, the quailty is good.  I'm seriously just not into watching animated movies. I prefer to see real people in movies/shows that I watch.

Ok, so maybe I've watched too much Through the Wormhole, and mentally drifted into black holes and quantum gravity too much. Or maybe it was all the Lexx and Quantum Leap, Dr. Who, Sliders, and Farscape. Time distortions and anomalies just seem 'normal'.

Acadia, T'ling is real. She's as real as Spock, or Kirk, and certainly as real as a Kardashian borg. You don't have to watch. But it is a good story.
