Dosvidonya Captain Grigory. Fair winds and following seas.

Awe...I hate it that it was the end of the Potemkin series. This episode is brilliantly done! Love the music and battle sequences.

[@Potemkin1711]

We hated to end it as well, but my wife took a job here in Birmingham, so we had to leave our studio and cast behind and start anew with several new productions! Be sure and check them out!

[@robertf3479]

@@Potemkin1711 Since the end of this series I have watched quite a number of your other productions including the new one built around USS Webster, all well done. I'm something of a SCI FI fan including Star Trek, also dabble in writing though nothing for ST. If I ever do I'll keep you good folks in mind. As some of our favorite Vulcans would say ... "Peace and Long Life."

[@Potemkin1711]

@@robertf3479 Please keep us in mind. We've been working hard in post-production and have at least two more films nearing completion. We are always looking for scripts!

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Captain Grigory, you were a true hero! You, the crew, & the ship will be greatly missed!! I’m hoping this isn’t the last we see of the crew; perhaps getting a newer Constitution Class Refit, the Potemkin 1710-A

[@Potemkin1711]

Stay tuned...

[@aml5321]

Excellent. Just a touch of pathos, as seems to be the signature of quite a bit in Potemkin-lore. Intriguingly open ended at the end. RIP USS Potemkin. Live long and prosper, Capt. Grigory.

[@garyk3478]

Short, to the point, and bittersweet. I'll miss this show. Edit: Glad to know no tribbles were harmed. :)

[@scififan90]

It was a great send off - I will really miss this show! Bravo to Randy and his entire cast and crew!

[@chryslerman]

Glad to have been a part! Thanks Randy for the opportunity! (Jerry Stanford aka Edward Stanfield- USS Valkyrie)

[@Potemkin1711]

Gerri Always glad to have the Valkyrie involved !

[@markgardner4426]

So ends the long, enjoyable ride of the USS Potemkin. Long will she remain in our hearts.

[@Potemkin1711]

Well, Not really. Check out "The Castaway" which was released Wednesday night. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIKtlpWijJ6FlbM

Captain Grigory: "Computer, NEVER end program!".

[@silvereagle2061]

OK I just re-watched this. Very sad. USS Paegan NCC - 1755 dims her lights for USS Potemkin 1711.

[@808scott]

I just found these treasures earlier today, and to watch this already got to me. You were able to get an emotional investment from a person in just a few episodes. Farewell Comrade Captain!

[@rcabletn]

So much awesome in under 8 minutes !!! Hot damn !!!

[@PDXParalegal]

Excellent as usual. I hope you can continue ahead and still stay in compliance with all the rules!!!

[@Potemkin1711]

We're good!

[@rtpoe]

This shows what a good team can do even WITH the rules!

[@Potemkin1711]

rtpoe Yep. We generally play within the rules (even before they were released!). Our newest release is 30 mins long, but was shot 7 months before the guidelines were released.

[@carlo1831]

Going down with his ship? I know he's the captain, but such is frowned upon even in the U.S. navy. And in Starfleet, I would think it would be drilled into a cadet's head from day one of Command College that they need captains. Going down with a ship deprives Starfleet a valuable resource. Good episode though. Thanks for sharing.

[@quoniam426]

Alex Grigory is from an old breed, that is what I like about him !

[@ActorPoetSwordsmanRogue]

So it seems to you that Grigory is dead?

[@Potemkin1711]

You might want to watch that ending again, Carl.

[@quoniam426]

Potemkin1711 I wanted to say that he is from the old school, ready to go down with his ship. After what you said however, it seems unlikely that he is really dead., but how did he change clothes, unless this the doing fo your "Calypso" girl? Will Grigory eventually return to the Federation Space?

[@carlo1831]

Potemkin1711 I saw it. I figured it was some kind of afterlife. I don't see how anyone could survive the explosion of a Constitution Class warp core breach (actually any warp core breach). If he actually survived, I'll be glad, but he was expecting to die. That would fly in the face of all Starfleet training. Starfleet considers its personnel to be expendable only as a last resort. If he were able to get to the escape pods but chose to die with his ship, I would consider that dereliction of duty. No matter how they felt about it, it's just a ship. And I'm sure another ship in need of a captain could benefit from his command experience.

I HOPE DEARLY THAT IS THE OUTCOME FOR CAPTAIN GRIGORY, HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST CAPTAINS OUT THERE, AND A PERSONAL FAVORITE!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS

[@ussarng4649]

Interesting that many people imagen an afterlife as being in a garden like place, similiar to earth's beautiful places.

[@munderpool]

Na Zdorovie, Captain Grigory!

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Okay, no way you just kill off one of the best captains in the fleet, even if he is saving the lives of his crew. I know this ending was written because y'all moved primary locations, but it was sad to see the Potemkin go. I have now watched all but one episode (watching the very last, "Room Service", next), and feel rather bereft that there is no more Potemkin universe left for me. At least for now. I wish I lived in Kentucky so I could join the crew of one of your other fine productions. And Alec -- you have a wife! Eyes front, mister!

[@Potemkin1711]

Without giving too much away, I would say "Stay tuned."

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Ooh, so there may be more Potemkin Universe coming? Perhaps the return of Captain Grigory and the Potemkin herself? I also find myself curious if you guys will ever do a "modern" Trek series set in the later 24th century (2370s+)?

[@Potemkin1711]

@@ChristinaMoore79 We're currently in 2304. I doubt we'll make it to the modern Trek age. But to address the other question: all of our films are in the same Potemkin or Orion Universe. The other two answers are maybe and maybe.

[@quoniam426]

Good thing T'Noshi was not on board, or was she and got rescued? RIP capt Grigory. I think the last part is from a NDE, right? No chance he could have been saved by an alien entity or perhaps it is the same as in Voyager, the guy pretending to be Janeway's father in Coda.

[@Potemkin1711]

I refer you to the Odyssey

[@quoniam426]

Potemkin1711 You mean Greek Mythology? Calypso?

[@Potemkin1711]

yes

[@deborahcapuano1223]

What did Grigori say at 2:55 (where he's watching the life pods flying away)?

[@Potemkin1711]

do svidanya

[@Potemkin1711]

He's not watching the pods. He's ramming the Potemkin down the throats of the Romulan attack force.

[@deborahcapuano1223]

I know he's ramming the Potemkin, that's his end goal. But right at 2:55 it does look at least to me like he's watching the pods, he wanted to make sure they got away to a safe distance before he took Potemkin into the Romulan ship. The safety of his crew :)

[@PhilDrury]

How did I... When did I miss this one?
