Loved it, loved it, loved it, a one of a kind original story that hooks you, well done friends, a terrific job by all

[@ChongcharoenSornkaewPok]

Lovely touch!

[@ryanc5572]

Love the crew of the Endeavor! The sense of humour is great, haha.

[@robertf3479]

And the Starship Endeavour comes away with one more soul aboard … or perhaps more than one … the collective souls of all those who worked to preserve the baby, the most precious one of all. Excellent story and performance.

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

Such a beautiful, wonderful, heartfelt episode

[@markbishop9743]

Well done 👍

[@LS1MIATA1775]

production: excellent; performances: really well done; story: trippy as hell and not in a bad way; overall: very enjoyable.

[@Lyraa357]

I believe in miracles. I'm happy to see I am not alone. Love the hopeful arch in so many of the stories you all tell.

[@AngelCatBaby]

Awesome story....thank you, enjoyed this very much.....will be looking for more ......HIGH 5 to all

[@Potemkin1711]

We have a few others online from the Starship Endeavour creative group: kzbin.info/aero/PLN2PsJbAILgn_tlerL3-202W-rzDMZcfR

Thanks, Hearing that is better than winning the Pushcart prize because Fans are awesome!

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

The head/face makeup on Navigator Ravusi is outstanding!

[@keithkramer219]

Loved it. I only wish that I had heard of this sooner.

[@Potemkin1711]

We have nearly a hundred fan films on line. Try them all! I think you'll be pleased.

[@keithkramer219]

@@Potemkin1711 Already doing that. Big plans have just been made for the weekend.

[@randallwatson8760]

Mr. Jack Zumwalt, I have to admit I am impressed. The work he did with Mr. William Searcy is a joy to watch. Once more Potemkin Pictures has proven that the best Star Trek is Fan Produced Star Trek. While I like the work Mr. Searcy did as director, I have to admit I want to see more of him as Dr Skep Anderson, the loveably cantankerous Chief Medical officer we all love, though his graduate studies will take him away from us for a while, I know he will always be around for us. Mr. Jack you are making me like Zachariah Houston as a Captain now becoming my secocnd favorite captain in Star trek, Alec Grigory will always be my favorite though another Potemkin Pictures Character. Thank you for the time you take to make these shows for us.

[@DennisMorrison1955]

I really like that you all used a gray alien on the bridge!!!!! Pretty cool!!!!!

[@janetbailey3804]

WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT INDEED!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS

[@jefferynelson]

High video & audio quality. Interesting ending, talk about a scenario a lot of ships wouldn't be prepared for. What if this was a mining vessel for example.

[@Potemkin1711]

Exactly. I'm not sure how some of the other ships in the Potemkin fleet would have handled this situation.

[@davemac2580]

There is always that one ship, that one group or crew which is drawn beyond the universe of accepted Astro physics.

[@PDXParalegal]

Very nice job people. The mysteries of the universe are not always explainable!

[@saintmoses252]

Thank you for posting and all the best to the cast. This was an incredible story to tell. I felt captivated and drawn in until the end of the story. Please tell another story. Please.

[@Potemkin1711]

A new production from the STARSHIP ENDEAVOUR Creative Group is in post-production at this time. Meanwhile, check out some of our other fan productions! kzbin.infovideos

[@frankmeiser8287]

Aww good one 😘

[@TheBlade1952]

Thank you for your devotion in making this story. Nicely done.

[@Potemkin1711]

Thank you. It was a labour of much love from many many people.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Nice job. Thanks for posting. Tell Mr Yellow shirt he has a great beard that all men can be jealous of.

[@Potemkin1711]

TimoKa I will tell Mark.

[@davemac2580]

I am very pleased with Anthony Lamort's musical score on this one, it's simply excellent.

[@Potemkin1711]

Please pass that along to him in the Endeavour group on Facebook if you will, Dave. I'd appreciate it!

[@dukedurell]

Very well done!

[@donzoller466]

great! as always!

[@hardcorexbl]

I got to meet some of your cast yesterday at a convention. I want to like this. I do. You've got a great concept, and the execution is good, to me, from a fan-created standpoint. The weak points I've seen from this so far are in sound production. Now granted, I don't know how you're produced really short of what one of your cast members told me. However, I got the distinct impression that the sound quality is recorded then thrown directly into the finished product. The music is solid, though, which I do appreciate. I intend on watching more and giving a more thorough review.

[@Reziac]

I didn't realise it was a cryo-tube til one of the crew mentioned it... until then I thought the baby had been preserved inside a replicator! These are always fun shows and get the ol' imagination going. And great job on the music.

[@calanon534]

This is Star Trek. Scotty kept himself alive for roughly a hundred years in a transporter - and he was no small fry, at the time. A baby in a replicator - which, itself, was mentioned to be based on Transporter technology - is certainly possible. The question is - did they have highly accurate food replicators in 2096?

[@colinedwards1090]

I liked that. Can we have some more?

[@Potemkin1711]

Certainly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprUaptsipKYpbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXavqGSKmdCnqpo And more to come!

[@davemac2580]

They are coming about once a month.

[@funzjag]

I always enjoy these productions!

[@AvaByNight]

Yay, a new one! :D

[@Artifactsofmars]

A Gray and a Gorn? That's different.

[@bryanttillman]

Nice story. Well the baby MIGHT be human, but I would give his blankie another scan if I were you

[@Talltrees84]

The Captain looks a lot like the Klingon Chancellor from the ST Movie "The Undiscovered Country" back in 1991 or 92. With a little bit of professional training and more advanced costumes and props this could be potentially on par with the ST TV shows and movies. Liked.

[@randylanders3741]

You should check him out in our Klingon productions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKqud4uubs2Kb80

[@desertranger]

That was weird. You guys are getting better. 4-stars. Now all you have to do is learn how to control and record your audio so you don't sound like you're in a bucket.

[@dennissneed2214]

I likw the Gorn weapons officer

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

Another intriguing story. Really appreciated the inclusion of the non-human characters. Is this crew our new regulars?

[@Potemkin1711]

The Starship Endeavour's primary bridge crew has three Humans, a Gorn, a Zeta Reticulan, a Trill, and a Vulcan. Its Chief Medical Officer is also a Trill. This particular creative team shoots once per year, although we had to reschedule their shoot in June for January 2018 due to family matters. It is my hope that most or all of the senior officers will be back for "The Monolith" in January.

[@davemac2580]

Welcome to the twilight trek.

[@Potemkin1711]

I was thinking more of the Outer Limits myself...

[@davemac2580]

I'd love to spend some time with Harlan Ellison.

[@pferreira1983]

Since when did General Chang command a StarFleet starship... Ahahaha! Anyway good effort.

[@davemac2580]

Everybody loves Captain Jack and his patch. I was honored he lent his talent and patch to this production. Check him out in a different, more ghostly production. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqu3imBtibmFpdk

[@WestRaz]

this is cute but maybe could use some more info on what going on, star trek is all about tec talk

[@Potemkin1711]

Oh, we really detest technobabble, and with a 15 min time limit these days, really have no time for it.

[@WestRaz]

@@Potemkin1711 lol form the KZbinr who made this not bad, I was just thinking something like "they programmed the computer to interface with the first mind it found" maybe something like that TNG ep with the probe going into captain Picard mind just that bit of info would have helped
