Looks like the same idea as the movie "Final Countdown", only with Planet Archanis, instead of Pearl Harbor. Nice Job.

[@stevenmanchester2104]

That was the 1st thing I thought when the enterprise d got sucked back to the future just as they were to go after the klingons.

[@joshfletcher6870]

Exactly!!!!

[@TrekCadet1701]

Wonderful animation, but Picard would not have done anything to alter the timeline.

[@cristianruiz1095]

Unless it's in the Abrams universe or Abramsverse.

[@htownjesse]

Exactly, Picard would never have entered that rift to begin with.

[@TrekCadet1701]

Sounds right. After all, JJ had Spock throw Kirk off the ship and maroon him. How very starfleet of Spock.@@cristianruiz1095

[@stephenfischer7885]

Apparently you’ve never seen The Final Countown, where the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier travels back through time just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. This little clip was a takeoff on that. Picard didn’t take the Enterprise into the rift. He tried to avoid it but it followed him and swallowed up his ship.

[@TrekCadet1701]

I have seen the final countdown, thank you. I also get that the E-D was trying to avoid being sucked in. That still doesn't change that Starfleet and Picard would not have fired on the patrol. They could have easily absorbed Klingon fire and out run them as well. @@stephenfischer7885

[@nemocorvus1991]

Picard would never alter the timeline unless he had no other choice. For example if the klingons had 2x the amount of ships attacking Archanis and some of those ships were from the 24th century then picard would intervene

[@cristianruiz1095]

In the Andromeda series, the ship goes to the past, arriving hours before the invasion of the Nietzschean empire and discovers that there are twice as many ships and is forced to eliminate half of them.

[@danielseelye6005]

​@@cristianruiz1095 1. It was 3 times the number (1500 Nietzschian ships when history recorded 500) 2. Dylan was trying to destroy them all, only for it to result with 500 surviving. 3. This was one of the really good episodes from season 1. Still enjoy it

[@cristianruiz1095]

@@danielseelye6005 Thanks!

[@timonsolus]

Agreed. At the most, Picard would have disabled the Klingon ships' weapon systems, rather than destroy them outright.

[@TheOneTrueDragonKing]

Impressive work, Mr. McConnell. All it was missing was the narration. This felt like it could have been straight out of TNG.

[@scottbraun2457]

AGREED...QUITE RIGHT.

[@that_dave_show]

This is almost similar to the movie, The Final Countdown, where the U.S.S. Nimitz encounters a Temporal vortex and brings it back to December 7th, 1941, just before the attack on Pearl Harbor, then yanked back to 1984.

[@JackSparrow-df4nk]

Very intriguing I would love to see more please 🙏I like the idea of a NEXT GENERATION FINAL COUNTDOWN what if

[@survivingbehindliberallines]

To quote Independence Day: Not Bad. Not too bad at all. 😉 I was waiting to see the Tardis in that time tunnel. hehe Would have been interesting if the shuttlecraft were able to lure a couple of the ships back to the Enterprise. Would it have been as bad or would the attack have been slightly less brutal with a few ships less. 😉

[@Rick79LUFC]

Wow amazing like some I had issues with Picard doing any thing that would of ultered the time line but the Enterprise being sucked back in to the worm hole before engaging Klingon fleet is a clever save but lol The Enterprise destroying 2 KDF ships and we presume interacting with the other FED ships crew sending a shuttle to the FED starbase one to the planet and to Nebula to scan KDF fleet and probably the KDF fleet scanning the FED shuttle is most definitely going to change time line , my guess is Picard would assess situation gather they were in the past and the means to how they travelled here not wanting to change the tme line not wanting to change the past he would of regrettably left the FED ship to its fate moving away on Low power low warp to a place to lay low once the solution or as it did worm hole reapered set course home lol ...Picard is by the book in that regard, but great animation 👍

[@davidslaughterii1401]

I thought that whole scenario seemed familiar. I first watched The Final Countdown back in 1980. I think you did a great job in reenacting it, Star Trek style of course. But, as I recall, when the storm reappeared, the Nimitz turned herself into the storm path instead of being pulled in backwards. Lastly, does this mean that Dr. Laura Brahms had a stake in this, much as CMDR Richard Owens did with both the designing and building of the Nimitz class and the event that would lead to his creating Tideman Enterprises?

[@KITT10K]

[@sharonec5419]

The Enterprise D looks great except for one detail. The impulse engines on the saucer section are not lite up so not working. That's a lot of work for the third impulse engine on the Strardrive secondary hull to be doing.

[@eddieschwab864]

You're forgetting that's the main impulse engine for the ship. The ones up on the saucer are secondary for operation when it separated I suppose they could be also used in conjunction when warp is not possible but their primary purpose is solely in separated operations

[@danieldb631]

I don't think Picard would risk altering the timeline by destroying the Klingon Battle cruisers. I don't think he'd even try to scare 'em off with the sheer size of the Enterprise especially, if it meant his tactical officer could potentially disappear...or worse.
