What an interesting story, and the twist was well done. The heroics of the Perrys, and knowing the Captain would have done it themselves, had the initial attempt failed, great ‘moral of the story’ Trek.
Fans celebrating the trek they loved their entire lives. No notes needed.
Good job Potemkin crew!
This brought tears to my eyes. The brevity. Very good.
I Wish I knew people who did fan films!! I'd be soooo into it!!!!!!
Same!
If you have a green screen and a uniform, you can do your own. Fan Film Factor just posted a very good short by a newer production. Where there is a will there is a way.
Half expected Dr. Perry to say "Well, bless your heart." to that guy. 1:36
😂
What a wonderful story. Such bravery by the Perrys, especially the boy who was so young.
Great job! As a lifelong Trekkie, these fan productions are truly a labor of love.
I will still add my voice, even though others have said it. This was a great and very sad story.
So fun!
Nice work! And a great story. Glad to see Donna get more roles. She's a wonderful person and Star Trek fan. She deserves it, and did a wonderful job here! congratulations!
The ending was tragic, but the moral was clear and very poignant. It's always great to see another journey of the Deimos.
Amen to that
Great episode! Congratulations Randy-- to you and your whole group. Excellent trek indeed! The writing on this one was particularly good! Great visual effects as well. Awesome job!
Thank you, George!
You guys did an excellent job on this episode. Great cast, crew and story. This is why Star Trek is in good hands with fans rather than with Paramount that doesn't understand Star Trek at all.
Interesting premise
Great job! Very impressed!!! :)
Great video!!!
Nicely done.
Gotta say, with all respect to everyone else on the cast and crew, Duffy's probably my favorite. A well ordered mind, logical, fiercely intelligent, but comes off as your experienced grandpa or uncle, trying to guide you to make the right choices. You're ALL amazing, though! Thank you for everything you do.
He’s the Spock to my Shatner for sure. I think he’s excellent as well!
@@tuckstevens1111 Well, "Captain," you DO have the Rizz Jacket!
Seriously, though, ALL of you are phenomenal.
THANK YOU!
@@tuckstevens1111 The things I've done to poor Tom over the years, like a pro he pulls them off and makes it work. Honestly he has that rare versatility you might find in those other great actors named Tom.
EXCELLENT!!!! I share this!!
DAVID MacKENZIE great script with an awesome story theme 😃👍 Great job all of you in making it happen 😁👍
Blessings 🙏😇🍿
In a way saving the galaxy is the family business and that blue stream that hit ship as it got closer that was very well done and the line the die is fast kind of felt like a reference to the Deep Space Nine episode the die is cast and as for the title of this fanfilm is just perfect,,,, sleeping dragon indeed 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊.
A story well written and well played all.
🖖
Super story, great acting by all, thank you all for your work on this film
Huge Thank you to Potemkin 1711 and awesome team.
"Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee."

True wise words
That was very powerful. Thanks to all involved!
This was sweet.
Awesome job and well done to all involved. All we can do in life is the best we can, with what we have 😎
Another brilliantly acted, scripted, and excellent story of the heroic actions of wonderful, brave, & beloved people. I’m crying a lot of tears because of their sacrifice…for the salvation of our entire galaxy. THIS is in the truest genre of what Gene Roddenberry fought for, & brought to each & every one of us. Brilliantly done!! Thank you all. In loving memory of the Perrys…
It moves me deeply as well. Thank you, Michael.
Thank you so much for the kind words. from Dr. Sarah Perry
This is pure fun. Well done everyone involved 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! We're editing our next one, and the thing that strikes me everytime I edit one is how much fun we have as a cast a crew making our Star Trek fan films!
It's really good. I look forward to watching more from this channel.
Wow. Didn't pull your punches. Made it real.
First, I want to say, I love your work. This was a very interesting story and I enjoyed it very much!
My only suggestion would be to have waited on the announcement until much better computers and many more scientist at a Starbase, had, taken the time to re-evaluate the data in more detail, It seems premature to make such a announcement to the crew before they could be sure.
After all, the same scientist were wrong just a few hours before.
They didn't have the time. The magnetar was on a collision course and due to hit Sagittarius A in a matter of hours.
Most of the theory surrounding the Sleeping Dragon originated in the Astrophysical Journal as did the basis of many great Roddenberry classics, in one way or the other.
Some day we will travel to the edge of the galaxy and discover the galactic barrier Gene spoke about, was way ahead of his time.
Black Hole theory has changed a lot from the 1990's Nothing escapes to Hawking radiation and James Web could promote the whole nebula theory getting spit out and seeding the universe with new planetary systems or great voids between galaxies (dark energy theory).
Either way we live in a fun age for fiction writers.
whether the magnetar broke up inside the event event horizon or not is probably a mute point but I think Randy used it masterfully to examine how us humans react to unfamiliar situations under extreme stress.
@iraferguson2648 Great input
Excellent fan-film ! Might we see more forthcoming soon 👀 🤔?
Most definitely! you can check out our 116 other fan films on CZcams: channel potemkin1711
@@Potemkin1711 I've watched quite a few but didn't realize there were that many!
The scripts and production values have sure come along over the years. I'm watching this and thinking, I just got transported back to 1966. Fits right in.
@Reziac high praise indeed! When the camera ops set up a shot, I ask, "Does it look like Star Trek?" And when they say "yes" then we roll cams.
@@Potemkin1711 Yep. It doesn't look modern, it looks like they did things back then. Camera angles and views, lighting, cuts, even how people were positioned and sets were all different than we see now.
And I think it's a good match to the story, as well as setting that TOS feel.
New fan here and am loving this. Is the Deimos based on the original concept of the USS Reliant where originally the nacelles were up and rollbar down, but the producer read the model upside down? If so i love it
The Deimos is a Phobos-class photon torpedo cruiser. The class was designed by Kevin Riley, and loosely based on the FASA Loknar class, IIRC. She's a beauty to be sure.
@@Potemkin1711 Okay, thank you for the explanation. She is definitely a beauty
Wow, Southern Star Trek. It occurs to me that we never did hear a southern accent on the Enterprise and now here's a ship with ONLY southern accents. (Does the Andorian have a southern accent too?)
Dr. McCoy of TOS, Dr. Kate Pulaski of TNG, Chief Engineer Trip Tucker from ENT, Dr. Boyce from "The Cage," no, Star Trek has plenty of folks with Southern accents.
Fan Films reflect their makers. There are Czech, Polish, German, Aussie, Scot, French, and Italian fan films with equally charming accents as ours.
IDIC, you know.
@@Potemkin1711 Right. I meant TOS. The others don't count. LOL. Anyway, McCoy's accent was unreliable. I think it's wonderful! I shall have to look for more of those other fan films. :D
Did somebody #FanFilms this production? Because it's the first time ever I've seen a #Potemkin1711 production show up twice on my opening page.
