He's a good captain, pays for his coffee and then invites the server to join him. Yea, my kind of leader. Good job! Captures a part of the Star Trek essence.
Having watched this episode and all previous I am sad to say that only time will bring this amazing work to a greater audience. I am so grateful and impressed with the show. Thanks!
Excellent story and presentation. I'd like Commander Mooney as a shipmate, I understand him. 6 ex-wives? It's no wonder he ran away to sea … er, the stars. ;-)
Thanks for posting. Woods just nails it every time...T'Noshi is in my opinion the breakout character of the Potemkin-verse. I hope the new guidlines (thanks Alec) don't bring these productions to an end. Especially since I'm awaiting Leslie Lewis's debut in her new character on Tristan.When's that coming down the pipe?
Yes! Glad to see you're still uploading even with Paramount's new "guidelines". Truth be told, Romulan Law would have been more lenient, lol ;) keep up the good work.
The only thing we really had to change was how we title the productions, and we had to add a sentence to our legal notice (we were using the one given to us years ago). And we had to remove the copyright notice. Nothing much at all.
+Potemkin1711 Yeah I know. I'm just miffed cause they kind of killed my production. (It was going to be a 2 hour long war drama set during the Earth/Romulan war, from the Romulans' point of view.) But I've found some less limited ideas to work with, so I'm getting over it. :)
Ha, just lacks the ridiculous mustache on Harry Mudd's face... Hope to see our dear T'Noshi more, though. Something I don't understand, she seemed to have some problems with Starfleet court of law recently so how did she end up promoted? Or was it more captain Grigory who was facing prosecution?
Well, if you looked it up, you'd seen that rhe USS Potemkin (NCC-1657) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship operated by Starfleet. In 2268, the Potemkin was part of a small task force that participated in a series of war games problems to field test the experimental M-5 multitronic unit, which had been designed by Doctor Richard Daystrom. The M-5 was installed aboard the Potemkin's sister ship, the USS Enterprise. When the M-5 unit suffered a disastrous malfunction during simulated combat, it caused the Enterprise to attack the other Starfleet ships with full phasers rather than minimum-strength beams that were standard for such situations. At least five hundred people aboard the USS Lexington and the USS Excalibur were killed in the initial attack. The Potemkin and the USS Hood attempted to retreat, but were nonetheless hit numerous times by full phasers from the Enterprise. This resulted in an unspecified number of casualties. Following the crippling of the Excalibur, the Potemkin and the other two remaining ships were ordered to destroy the Enterprise to end the threat. Fortunately, the Enterprise was able to deactivate the M-5 computer before the three-ship battle force attacked. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer") In 2269, the Potemkin was scheduled to rendezvous with the Enterprise at the Beta Aurigae binary system. The two ships were assigned to conduct gravitational studies of that binary system. The Enterprise, however, was diverted by a distress call from Camus II, causing the mission with the Potemkin to be delayed. (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder") In 2270, the Potemkin was ordered to transfer a shipment of the life-saving medicine, strobolin, from Beta Canopus to the freighter USS Huron. The Huron was then to transfer the drug to the Enterprise so that it would be received within the three-day time frame needed to cure Spock's choriocytosis infection. (TAS: "The Pirates of Orion") In the next twenty-three years, like her sister ship the Enterprise, the Potemkin was refitted. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) In 2293, the Potemkin was assigned a scientific survey mission. The ship was named on a Starship Mission Assignments chart on the USS Enterprise-A bridge. Later that year, in the "Operation Retrieve" command briefing, the Potemkin was depicted as being in the theater of operations. Furthermore, the starship would have been the command ship for the rescue mission, in which it would make an attempt at rescuing James Kirk and Leonard McCoy from the prison planet Rura Penthe. This starship would have been escorted by both the USS Eagle and the USS Excelsior. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). So why Potemkin? Because the name was not previously taken by other productions, and it's got decades of service (and appearances in Star Trek).
I love how they added Special Effects
To The Star Trek Series
Now that's a Starfleet captain 👏
WONDERFUL EPISODE, OF COURSE ANY EPISODE WITH T'NOSHI IS WONDERFUL!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS
A most fun episode
John Wallace as Mooney gives off a Sam Elliott vibe. Very cool!
Wow. Fun day on the rec deck!
"As serious as a Tellarite in heat." LOL!
He's a good captain, pays for his coffee and then invites the server to join him. Yea, my kind of leader. Good job! Captures a part of the Star Trek essence.
A nice combination of humour and drama - much like life itself!
Interesting 🤔 Moody seemed like a rather rustic cowboy 🤠 type commander.
I just discovered this and it's the most awesome thing ever.
Having watched this episode and all previous I am sad to say that only time will bring this amazing work to a greater audience. I am so grateful and impressed with the show. Thanks!
Thanks! Share the word!
Mooney reminds me of a woman I'd met who was married six times. "I just like weddings!"
I just love how Mooney says "Lieutenant" after being corrected!
I gotta say, my favorite part of the series has to be the theme song. I don't know why.
Tony Lunn and Steve Gallant have done a wide variety of approaches to it as well.
Starfleet2360 yes the theme music is amazing and what really drew me to Potemkin in the first place!
Excellent story and presentation. I'd like Commander Mooney as a shipmate, I understand him. 6 ex-wives? It's no wonder he ran away to sea … er, the stars. ;-)

The Potemkin finale is approaching completion. The production's post-script episode will be released shortly after it along with the Tristan premiere.
Nice enjoyable episode. Glad you added a window to the Captain's quarters. It gives the film a more "in space" feel to it.
We wanted it all along.
+Potemkin1711 We make use of it in NIGHT and SECOND CONTACT.
A non-starfleet coffee mug? Shouldn't that make the coffee service at least 10 credits? 😉
Federation price controls. :D
@@Potemkin1711 haha XD or as we would call that in Star Trek online Energy Credits LOL
I'm loving this series. And am hoping for more T'Noshi centered episode whether big or small.
JenG593 be sure and watch The Night the Stars Fell from the Sky.
Oh I have. And it was my favorite. :)
Yes! Glad to see you're still uploading even with Paramount's new "guidelines". Truth be told, Romulan Law would have been more lenient, lol ;) keep up the good work.

LUCKY!
Always worth watching.

Thanks!
Should have asked the Lotian's for McCoy's communicator lol
That would've been a good touch!
@@kadindarklord It is. It's just Dutch's memory that's wrong. :)
@ Commander Moody, What is a cosmic Biker doing on a Star Ship ? ; )
Chief Engineer Dutch Mooney :)
@@Potemkin1711 I could easily see Mooney a barfight: "I woulda clotheslined him but his species doesn't have necks!"
"Not hardly" is a double negative. That seems like an illogical thing for a Vulcan to say.
It is, isn't it? T'Noshi is full of contradictions.
@@Potemkin1711 To me, it's just Spock's smiling in some first season TOS episodes. He was trying things out.
I like this captain! The mix of TOS-ish uniforms with a refit Constitution class is a little odd though. What's the setting (year) of these stories?
2270's, just AFTER ST:TMP and before ST2:TRoK!
The year is 2299, a few years after the Undiscovered Country. The crew usually doesnt wear the jackets.
+Potemkin1711 Thanks for the date. I like the idea about the more relaxed approach to the TWOK uniforms, they are quite formal for everyday use!
And hot and expensive as heck!
Potemkin1711
I stand corrected! I thought it was set earlier than that! I was about 25 years out!
I thought this was a post monetary society?
Not quite. TNG is post-monetary. TOS is not. This production is in between those two financial systems.
Ha, just lacks the ridiculous mustache on Harry Mudd's face...
Hope to see our dear T'Noshi more, though.
Something I don't understand, she seemed to have some problems with Starfleet court of law recently so how did she end up promoted? Or was it more captain Grigory who was facing prosecution?
Captain Grigory ' s intervention , no doubt.
+Potemkin1711 and the Vulcans found Grigory ' s actions and decisions most illogical .
SO that is even more illogical to give T'Noshi a promotion !
+Quo Niam yep - did it out of spite, I'm sure.
Sort of like a couple of Enterprise Captains (NX-01 and the original enterprise not the renamed Yorktown)
I looked up the meaning of the word "Potemkin" I am curious, and I am still curious as to why that name was used.
