This is one of the best I've seen. Tough choices and absolutely no cop-outs. Brought a tear to my eye. Bravo, one and all.

A scene chewing Romulan and Captain Uncle Martin?

[@ronhanks4610]

One of things that I was taught in command training, was that sometimes you have to make the tough decisions and just accept what it is. Well done my friends 👍👍😎

Wow what an emotional episode. "Doomsday Machine" is my favorite episode and having to live it over again and leave those people to their fate, well it brought tears to my eyes.

An ethical tightrope handled very well, asking all the right questions. Especially when some of the people involved directly affected your own future self. There would be no way for someone's else's future not to be harmed if the Captain resolved her own personal heartbreaks. The universe demands balance - birth, death.

I like that warp effect at the beginning

Even though I wish it could have been longer, Two Thumbs WAY UP!

this is to cool for words great job people great job

[@patricklynch1962]

Excellent work by everyone involved! The storytelling was excellent, in the best Trek tradition. It reminds me in the best way of the dilemma faced by the captain of the U.S.S. Nimitz upon discovering his ship has arrived at December 6th, 1941 and the chance to save people who died in the attack on Pearl Harbour. (The Final Countdown, Kirk Douglas, 1980) Two captains, centuries apart, reach the same conclusion.

The quality of this episode and the intricate writing has me wondering one thing. Why hasn't CBS put you under contract for any of the various Star Trek's that are being produced today ? Well done Victoria and the entire cast

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

That sun looks gorgeous!

[@jwc00789]

[@Raggedymannn]

Super story, well done by all from writing to end results, thank you all so much for all your heart and creative sole, winners all every episode, thank you all for your expertise and bringing the story to life being the characters and the focal point clearly acted out superb Star Trek in perfection

[@donaldhiles_k9sgz428]

Excellent story, cast was superb, kudos to the Captain for her great performance. Good job all. 💕

[@robertf3479]

An excellent story, well produced and acted. The decision Captain Gabriel had to make, resisting the temptation to change history by aiding Commodore Decker and his crew would be wrenching no matter who had to take it. Personally I don't think I could have resisted the temptation to 'do something.' Even trying to beam Constellation survivors from the planet would pose risks.

One of my favorite star fleet captains.

[@williammitchell4417]

Fascinating. Repeating the events of Doomsday Machine in the same vane as the movie the Final Countdown. As well as Yesterday's Enterprise.

[@fernandoqueirozpopovic7024]

This is great i have no complaints about this

[@lorcis1]

this deserves more views

[@rahadyans199]

You all have created some powerful fan films, but this one was particularly resonant for me. There are many people I love whom I would gladly save if I could go back in time. Thank you for this. Blessings to all of you and your families and loved ones this holiday season and New Year.
