My favorite. Mature storytelling for a children's show. With a bit of expansion, this could have been an all time episode. Too bad the Gorn was not identified as the same Kirk battled in the Arena. That would have made a real statement on the ideals of this series.

I actually quite like the music of TAS. It is a bit repetitive but it's still quite new to me

You might remember Stephen Kandel as the co-writer for Mudd's Women; I, Mudd; and Mudd's Passion. This was his only non-Harry Mudd piece of work that he did for Star Trek. The reason there is no physical violence in TAS is because this was a Saturday morning cartoon, and children's programming became the target of parents who did not approve of violence on television for kids. Around 1968-1969, you start to see Saturday morning programming going totally nonviolent and moving over to more educational or just plain entertainment shows. Hence, all super-hero cartoons became either nonexistent or changed to more nonviolent/message-oriented storytelling (ala, the Super Friends vs the Justice League or Space Ghost).

A classic heist trope episode. Get a group of disparate experts together and make them work as a team. The lock pick, the strong guy, the brainy guy, the natural born leader... I doubt that T'Char was the Skorr who was in Yesteryear. it was most likely just a member of the same race. This guy was a prince, the one in Yesteryear was most likely a member of Starfleet. Sord was reptilian but I do not believe he was meant to be a Gorn. He was built quite differently. Plus, he could actually run. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Em/3/Green was another alien created strictly for TAS. [Fun Fact: Em/3/Green was voiced by Trouble With Tribbles writer David Gerrold] They all had interesting personalities and I kind of wish we could have gotten a bit more out of them. The scene around the 16 minute mark where they are all together after the lava flow was actually reproduced as a jigsaw puzzle. One of five. I had them all LOL This was an okay episode but with some minor tweaks it could have been much, much better.

This one was my least favorite so far... quite boring and pointless somehow but oh well

MntrTodd

Possibly inspired by MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE.

Kandel did write for that show after all.

The thing with the score and sound effects is that so much of it was used across a whole load of filiation cartoons so it got a bit much back in the day.

Aleek-Om from Yesteryear was not a Skorr at all, but a similar species called an Aurelian.

Now that you say that...yes. Wow.. That is from the Alan Dean Foster Log book version, correct? It has been literally DECADES since I read those. LOL. Now I want to again.

Filmation revamped it's stock music when they got the Star Trek series. The stock music they used before on previous shows were pretty much avoided on TAS. I believe getting TAS gave them the excuse to get new music by Ray Ellis (but it's credited to Yvette Blais and Jeff Michael). The music on the show (except for the main theme) went on to be used in several mid to late 70's Filmation shows. I love the music.

Gary Leyh

Not a great episode but I did love the design of the flying species. I've always loved the score of this show and the animated Flash Gordon series. So good.

Yes, it is. Between this channel and the Enterprise Incidents podcast, I’ve been wanting to reread them too!

Watching these I now see the wisdom in their JLA and Teen Titans cartoons being something like 8 mins long.

Have you seen the tv movie pilot to the FG cartoon? It starts during WWII. It's on youtube.

Timothy Nikiforovs

I actually thought this was one of the better TAS episodes, because it felt like everything was there to make it a full length episode. Certain elements like the skorr or the zero G fight or the lava flow would have been near impossible to pull off in TOS, at least without a massive budget. Maybe by the mid 90s. But the point is we have a whole team of new and distinct characters, a plot to incite a war, and a heist style story to get this artifact back. Bottom line, there are enough interesting characters and story elements here to make a much longer episode, so I'd rate it higher than a lot of the others. Not sure what happened at the end with only 2 minutes passing on the enterprise though. Also got a laugh out of the vedala just randomly roaring both times.
