Great video. I would have added a line at the bridge scene: This is mutiny, people. And... bless you for it!' Maybe at the end, have the captain say, 'Why do I get the feeling we just passed a test we didn't even know we were taking?'

[@hahsydxhy7gh908]

This really plays to Victoria Avalon's strengths as Captain Sian Gabriel, she's terrific. In fact, the whole cast is solid in this one. 5/5 stars, great episode!

[@mkendallpk4321]

It is though the original writer(s) of the "The Menagerie" have again created an outstanding script. And the actors have executed it with all the love and respect it deserves. Kudos to all involved in the making of this latest adventure of the Demos. Looking forward to more of them!

[@JoeCannon1]

Wow! this was another grand slam episode! Great writing and acting. Thanks to everyone for their time efforts and love of Trek 🖖🙂

[@edwardsteiner8086]

Excellent Story and production. Everyone does a great job with these episodes. Thank you!

[@01grhornet]

Glad to see this one released. Wonderful work by all involved. These Starship Deimos episodes are a labor of love. Glad to work with such a talented crew

[@jeffreyfloyd7806]

My compliments to everyone associated with this production. As always ta great pleasure to watch.

[@andytay5507]

16:06: Great but understated, subtle Talosian reveal!

[@DanielVance]

Loved the 2010 The Year We Made Contact speech at the end. Great easter egg!

[@markjohnson188]

That was amazing. Pure Star Trek. Thankyou ALL.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

What a beautiful, wonderful episode!! Totally in the vein of TOS!!! I’m impressed with everything

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Wow, what an idea -- for one of the Talosians to leave their planet! This was a great story. I look forward to more from the Deimos crew, as always.

[@FPjr-filkferretproductions]

Once again, out of the ball park my friend :) Keep swinging.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

Great writing by Victoria Avalon, as usual, and the acting was first rate, as usual. The scene with Sean and the bridge crew was very emotional. I love the way extended Star Trek lore. The power of the Talosians is beyond anything we could imagine. They could have ruled the universe yet chose to isolate themselves to protect everyone else. It's unfortunate those in our world all too often misuse their power for their good rather than that of the world - A story millennia long.

[@brendaf3132]

I am thrilled to see someone continuing to produce Trek episodes.

[@CavemanCBB]

Nice visual affect when he beamed down !!!!!! Good Story. Great job.

[@dirkschannel5817]

Excellent great job guys

[@MetaTrek]

Great episode, I especially the subtle Talosian reveal as Professor Laurence beamed down at the end.

[@Potemkin1711]

Thanks, I didn't want it said we didn't show full Talosian.

[@cwtnc]

Another cool story. Well done!

[@richardbailey3343]

[@ourparanormalworld]

VICTORIA, YOU PORTRAY A CAPTAIN LIKE JANEWAY, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE FULL LENGTH VERSION

[@Jeng4280]

Wow. So happy this is still going!! Thank you for posting this.😁 it helps me to feel better after getting my booster shot yesterday. I’m feeling the after effects of it today

[@dogwalker666]

Oh get well soon.

[@ryanc5572]

Incredible work as always guys. Deimos is my favourite crew. The story was fantastic and I loved the prosthetics.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

My favorite crew as well.

[@helenofirvine]

I love it! Just like the first amateur productions of Trek before they became "professionalized" by folks in the entertainment business. Good story but your special effects are a bit jerky and could use some smoothing out. Otherwise, I really love it. You made this old Trekkie smile.

[@PatrickLink]

Looks like fun.

[@StarSong936]

I love what you guys are doing. Keep up the good work. Edit: if there was anybody, I had to bet my life on, it would be the Tatosians.

[@andytay5507]

Nope. Capt. Pike. (more obviously).

[@garageguy879]

Enjoyable episode,,,but I do miss the cranky Grey Wolf

[@allenlovell1604]

Is this the same "Talos IV "from the Menangerie ? I like the scenario in this segment ! Hope you're continuing with this one ?

[@andytay5507]

1120: A TALOSIAN says he's OVER HIS HEAD! Now that's BIG trouble! 😉

[@andytay5507]

my thoughts exactly, I'm surprised everyone could keep a straight face during that scene. 😉

[@starfleetquartermaster6802]

VERY GOOD

[@robertwheeler5125]

excellent

[@jackieanderson9408]

Sweet 👍

[@PhilDrury]

May you find your way as pleasant.

[@JB-ym4up]

[@andytay5507]

'How would they know, how COULD they know' (Duh, Talosians).

[@bryangarton2313]

💞 it very nice🤩

[@Knife_Collector]

What was the music this was set to?

[@Potemkin1711]

The incidental music is an original score by Alvaro Ardila. The Deimos theme music is by Chris Kroznuski. There are some TOS hints in both.

[@MetaTrek]

@@Potemkin1711 The music is excellent!

[@Potemkin1711]

@@MetaTrek Thanks! Alvaro is doing a great job for us!

[@dougchase5376]

love to get this show on amazon or Netflix :) still love this show what kind of ship Deimos class name i dont recall the name class

[@Potemkin1711]

Thanks! But for now, we can be found on KZbin and V i m e o. :) The Deimos is a Phobos-class torpedo cruiser (frigate) in service since the 2280s.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

Prefer you on KZbin.
