Star Trek - Project: Potemkin "The Talinar Incident" P31

[@henryseldon6077]

Short but sweet! Thanks.

[@rtpoe]

Little incidents like this certainly happen all the time in Starfleet. I loved how Commander Mooney didn't panic, and just came up with the ruse as if it were no big deal.

[@Potemkin1711]

Dutch is pretty laid back. :)

[@davekisor1486]

In a very odd coincidence, onboard CV-43 (USS Coral Sea) for the 1977 WestPac deployment, there was a Commander Mooney assigned to the Dental Department. The first thing he said when you sat in his chair was, "you know they call me the butcher!" No relation I hope.

[@littledikkins2]

Well, that is some Dilithium the Klingons won't be mining!

[@Potemkin1711]

Indeed!

[@wu3705]

I can just see good ol' Dutch kicked back right now with a cold brew laughin' with the cap'n...celebrat'n a laid back way to take care of some greedy Klingons! Well play'd guys!

[@megalictis9002]

Tribbles: Klingon repellent. Don't visit the Neutral Zone without one!

[@kellyrayburn4093]

Sector 46A. I caught that reference. About the no uncoded signals when potential hostiles are in the area. The tribble ruse could have backfired. They could have laid waste to the planet. According to DS9, the Klingons wiped them out in "The Great Tribble Hunt".

[@Potemkin1711]

I never knew when the Great Tribble Hunt took place, but for our purposes posited that it took place after this incident. :) Great catch on 46A; not sure everyone caught that! Congrats!

[@kellyrayburn4093]

It was mentioned in Trials and Tribbleations in the bar on space station K-7. Worf declared tribbles pests and that his people had wiped them out. Odo then said in a derisive tone, "Do they still sing songs about the great tribble hunt?" I'm sure the Klingons don't call it that. That was Odo's name for it.

[@Potemkin1711]

Yes, but when in the timeline did that Great Hunt take place? I never have seen that on an episode.

[@kellyrayburn4093]

That's not specified in the episode. Sometime in the 70 or so years between "The Trouble With Tribbles" and the Next Generation Era. I have found no other on-screen references in either the prime timeline or in the JJ timeline. I would have to say sometime between this and "Trials and Tribbleations." I know. That's a lot of time, but they haven't released anything that would narrow it further.

[@ChristinaMoore79]

I don't think tribbles actually were wiped out. They're mentioned in numerous novels (non-canon, I know), and one of the kids being evacuated to the saucer on the Ent-D was carrying one (don't feel bad if you missed it, took me 20 years to notice).

[@booyah4373]

lol. Love the Tribble angle. Well done!!

[@thomasholte1828]

Very cool Ep.

[@Martin98Baumann]

Another great video but the Klingon commander says he is speaking from a Bird of Prey when the Klingon ships seen are not this type of ship.

[@DelcoRanz93]

Who says there's never a tribble around when you need one.

[@Potemkin1711]

+Starfleet2360 Exactly!

[@DMSProduktions]

+Starfleet2360 They're NO Tribble at all!

[@Lurker1954]

"infested with tribbles", HAHAHA!!!!

[@Potemkin1711]

Good plan, eh?

[@DMSProduktions]

Good 1! Klingons ARE soooo stoopid! 1 mentions of tribbles and they RUN like scaredy cats!

[@Potemkin1711]

well, this particular commander isn't the brightesr

[@DMSProduktions]

Potemkin1711 TRUE! He didn't even know WHAT class of ship he was 'commanding'! He was probably a usurper!

[@randallwatson8760]

It's about time Dutch got featured in an episode. I am an engineering nerd anyhow, well played, well written, and acted.

[@Potemkin1711]

Glad you like it!

[@jamesa.7604]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[@Potemkin1711]

thanks!

[@ARandomCogboi]

Love it! Can't wait for more!

[@Potemkin1711]

+Epic Romulan LOL Won't be long. Can you hold out until next week? :)

[@ARandomCogboi]

+Potemkin1711 I Hope I can! In the meantime, Live Long and Prosper.

Sweet!!!!

[@andytay5507]

Very well done. I especially like the realistic depiction of the Andorian shop burning. How did you do that?

[@Potemkin1711]

We are blessed with a number of highly talented VFX artists. Mark Berge, for example, did the VFX for "The Talinar Incident." I'll pass along your comments to him.

[@andytay5507]

@@Potemkin1711 it looks as if it were real, not VFX.

[@Potemkin1711]

@@andytay5507 Hopefully he'll tell us how he did it. I think it's an awesome effect too.

[@talinarissa5397]

Saw this just because my name's Talinar and it's really weird

[@Potemkin1711]

Talinar Issa I hope you enjoyed it!

[@eldergroan]

HHAHAHAHA! another good tale well executed! 8D

[@Potemkin1711]

+eldergroan Thanks for the feedback! This was a fun episode!
