Had to look that one up. A rare TAS reference from s2e1 The Pirates of Orion. Once I do a full TOS rewatch, I need to follow through with the animated series.
It’s popular to rag on The Animated Series, but the only thing really wrong with it is the Hanna-Barbara-tier animation. Once you get over that, it’s actually a really good time. And if it isn’t, it’s easy to make fun of it.
You mean the Potemkin? She was seen in the TOS episode The Ultimate Computer and listed on the plans for Operation: Retrieve in The Undiscovered Country.
I don’t know how else that TAS episode relates to the quotes I just pulled out of my ass to make a quick joke.
Also, by the time of Voyager, a USS Potemkin would no longer be a Constitution-class starship.
Captain’s log, Supplemental. We have arranged to get the strobolin needed to save Mr. Spock’s life. The starship Potemkin has already picked up the drug and will transfer it to a freighter, the SS Huron for delivery to the Enterprise.
The episode is literally about the Potemkin making a transfer of drugs to the Enterprise. Lucked into a solid reference, my friend.
Young Ensign: “This is literally the worst part of serving in Starfleet.”
Old Lieutenant: “All we do is sit down and wait for a scan, this is nothing. On the Potemkin we still had to pee in a little cup.”

It’s always a good time to do a watch through of TAS.
From what I’ve heard, it’s pretty much a straightforward continuation, but more flexible… and I should probably be some sort of intoxicated.
The colours are unrepentantly psychedelic 70s fashionable and so are a few of the plots.

Ah, now I get it.
I love everyone here, but sometimes I can’t follow your line of thinking. (:
No worries.
