The acting was sometimes uneven, but the story still conveys the themes of friendship, duty and humanism that make for great Trek. Clearly a labor of love, thanks for posting this.

[@wernerlouderback6796]

Great story 😁👍 It had me wondering if their second crewman may have actually been changed and was making himself appear unchanged.

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍Very cool and nicely well done and executed in every detail way shape and form possibly provided indeed!,👌.

[@Potemkin1711]

Congratulations to the cast and crew of "Where They Have Gone, We Follow" -- This production has been named an OFFICIAL SELECTION of the James Bond III Web/New Media Film Festival - 2019. Way to go, team!

[@kellyrayburn4093]

No captain worth his/her salt can execute someone sight unseen. They must be certain even if obtaining that certainty costs them their life. Her actions here were totally correct and the Admiralty would be fools not to promote her. There is a reason General Order 24 exists and this type of situation is that reason. Kirk's threatened use of it in 'A Taste of Armageddon' is improper use of it. I feel sorry for Mr. Klawitter having to kill his captain, but he was totally correct. Allowing such a power free reign in The Federation would be catastrophic and would ensure the destruction of The Federation. And one man's life is not worth the destruction of The United Federation of Planets..

[@calvinlweir2795]

So there is no information about this. In the computers.

[@Potemkin1711]

The information was sketchy per Captain Kirk. Only Wolfe had knowledge about the event since he was there.

[@janetbailey3804]

WOW, SO THIS IS WHERE SHE BECAME CAPTAIN, GOOD FOR HER, MY OTHER FAVORITE BRITISH WOMEN IN AUTHORITY, CONGRATULATIONS, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, I WATCHED YOU RISE IN THE RANKS LIKE T'NOSHI, PRIVETTE AND NOW YOU MADE CAPTAIN, I WANT TO SAY HIP HIP HURRAH, BUT THAT SOUNDS CORNY, OH TO LATE!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS

[@ChristinaMoore79]

"If I'm going to murder a man, I'll see his face first." A great line. I love that Gabriel wanted to make absolutely sure the captain and XO couldn't be saved before she carried out the hardest order. I would do the same.

[@rons9946]

this shows great respect to the original source material while still having a great story line itself

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

Very good work all of you, especially kudos to Victoria Avalon!

[@silvereagle2061]

I thank you for pointing out just how difficult it was for Kirk to kill his longtime friend. In the trilogy "My Brother's Keeper", written by Michael Jan Friedman, The story of Kirk's friendship with Mitchell goes deep, long before the Enterprise, they met on the Republic. Both serving on the Constitution and the Enterprise. The book tells of a journey Kirk felt he had to take. To go to Gary's parents and not only tell them that their son had died but at whose hands held his fate. Gary Mitchell's death was very emotional to me after reading those books. Pointing out the hard task it was for Kirk in this episode makes me feel in a way, that you're giving tribute to the ultimate friendship, and the ultimate sacrifice.

[@kellysavage7073]

that was incredibly well made I love the emotion i conveyed to the audience it made me understand kirk's hesitation for not wanting to kill gary mitchell and the acting was very highly well done.

[@Potemkin1711]

Glad you enjoyed it. We're very proud of it, too.

[@Potemkin1711]

Congratulations to Potemkin Pictures' casts and crews of "Spirit in the Star" and "Where They Have Gone, We Follow" for winning the James Bond III Innovation Award this past weekend!

[@LoreReloaded]

It really feels like you guys are improving! Loved this one!

[@Potemkin1711]

Thanks! We keep trying!

[@timesthree5757]

So decisive a strong female leader that doesn't do a heroic pose every five minutes---luv it.

[@LS1MIATA1775]

Excellent point!

[@MaxxDoberman]

Low-budget and still better than the last 3 trek movies combined.👍👍

[@Raggedymannn]

Another great one, love Victoria's authoritative mannerism and all the crews acting as well, the story was great as was all else, another great short for Potemkin Pictures

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

This is how a true leader - male or female - should act. Kudos Ms. Avalon and the rest of the actors and behind the scenes people for a job well done. It was emotional and measured - life most go on.

[@timesthree5757]

I love the southern accent. Southerners want to be in space too.

[@timesthree5757]

@Daniel Vazquez the naa the werd yer looken fer is, "baccer".

[@RippingJack76]

I love the series where everyone has a Welsh accent......

[@andytay5507]

So VERY well done! Even better on 2nd viewing. Morality play done right, the Gene Roddenberry way.

[@FLAME4564]

indeed hell I say this in defense not just of Gene Rodenberry but of JJ Abrams. All of you may hate JJ Abrams but unlike Alex Kurtzman JJ Abrams took the hate like a sensible mature man and never buckled under the hate compared to Kurtzman he was a kind of Calm and mature producer and showrunner that im sure many show runners of classic trek and mabey even Gene Rodenbery himself would be if he were still with us. Thats what makes JJ Abrams a mature dignified Showrunner and producer is that hes able to stay calm under hate or anything that comes at him even compared to fan film producers

[@randallwatson8760]

Ms. Avalon, you made me cry in this one. I"ve not cried over a Star Trek film since Spock died in Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan. Well done to all especially Lee Drew and Tuck Stevens. I say tbis not just because they sre my friends, they helped tie the story together. First Officer Klawitter has become my new favorite XO. Ms. Avalon, your captain is a teacher, that is exactly what the Deimos needs, great work Potemkin Pictures Family!

[@markbishop9743]

Well written and performed by the entire cast. Victoria sure knows how to write a script. If you aren't careful you might lose her to the new Picard series that's coming out.

[@calvinlweir2795]

Thank you Potemkin 1711

[@johnminehan1148]

Not bad. The constrained sets made sense for a smaller exploratory vessel.

[@markbishop9743]

Another stellar performance. The storylines and the actors portraying the characters are continuing to evolve with each passing episode. You all should be very proud

[@Potemkin1711]

Thanks, Mark. I think this was the best Potemkin Pictures production from 2019.

[@markbishop9743]

The hierarchy at CBS could learn a lot from watching your productions. I just hope the new Picard series shows some of the same creativity that you folks seem to do so well

[@Potemkin1711]

@@markbishop9743 Give them a tight budget, and I'd bet they could do better.

[@aml5321]

IMO one of your best efforts in terms of story telling and acting. Suspense, pathos, a touch of moral lesson AND ambiguity... please keep up the good work!

[@Potemkin1711]

Thanks. We're all very proud of this one.

[@conmangamer]

I love your videos the best on KZbin

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

I was concerned that this was just going to be a retread of WNMHGB but it turned into a fantastic character piece for the first officer, I really felt for him!

[@Potemkin1711]

This is one of Jim's best performances! The entire cast did a great job, as did Chris Kroznuski with the music and VFX.

[@MaxxDoberman]

Low production value but ten times better than the three drek movies and STD.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

Their comrades reminds me so much of TOS.

[@StarSong936]

I'm retired. I was asked to take the "Center Seat" and I could not do it. It's nothing I ever wanted. My mom had to take it as the recovery room head nurse. When they asked me to take over for my shift in charge of nuclear missiles, I messed it up. After that day, I swore off ever supervising anybody ever again. I might take that position now, if I have to. That was back in 1985. Can't say I would enjoy it thought. I would much rather be a library aide or a low-level computer technician than that. Just a suggestion, perhaps you could build an episode around that idea.

[@balventray]

Thank nicely done keep up the good work

[@MLK-KAEFENTERPRISES]

Excellent one. Just caught it and really got wrapped up in the story. Loved it.

Keep it up

Truly a deep and well written story. Because of your work here these words remain true, "Trek Lives".

[@Potemkin1711]

Thank you! Victoria Avalon did a fantastic job on this story and script, and the cast were willing to do a lot more work on bringing it to fruition.
