Yesteryear, Spock's time travel episode, was nominated for an Emmy award. Several stories were written by big sci-fi names like Niven and solid stories that could have been expanded to full hour stories for more depth. DC Fontana, Dave Gerrold and a number of other production people went over to Land of the Lost. Incredible sci-fi stories in those first couple seasons of that.
I own the complete series on DVD, and it has my fellow Canadians, James Doohan, and William Shatner. And even though Walter Koenig was replaced by Lt. Arex, he still wrote The Infinite Vulcan. Thank's for the great video. Take care, and all the best.
There was one similar to a classic TOS: The Menagerie (I think is the TOS title) The difference was the zoo was class cubes and the animals appeared to be sleeping, dreaming. It showed both perspectives of course, the dream narrative and what the zoo goers saw.
No deaths (except possibly the KZin), no kissy-face (except Chapel/Spock). Very simple and straight forward stories concentrating on the meat with little garnish.
I used to watch this every Saturday morning. It was great because I’d watched all of TOS in syndication and built the models… So glad Star Trek has kept Roddenberry’s vision over the years! LLAP! 🖖
Don't forget Keonig got a writing credit for The Infinite Vulcan tho I'D LIKE to forget the episode entirely!🤷🏼♂️. And "Yesteryear" which expanded the Vulcans in Canon. Yes I considered TAS Canon. 🤓😎🖖🏻
As a 5yr old in 1974 I LOVED the show for the action and the stories -though admittedly I can squeeze more nuance out of them now and regularly marathon them the past couple years while I'm working so as to learn them as well as I know the original episodes.
Alan Dean Foster, a science fiction writer of note, wrote the novelization of all these episodes too. I suspect I have the books somewhere in a box in my attic!
It was interesting, but a lot of perturbed fans wanted the live action show to return, not a cartoon version which was obviously made for younger audiences.
At the time of the Star Trek cartoon, there were other serious ones Like Johnny Quest, Sea Lab 2020 and a few others. Jimmy Douhan did a number of characters in the show. For Primetime, there was also the Jetsons and a few others. For a long time hard core Trekies didn't view the animated series as Canon. Then Rodenberry said that it was canon. There was also a female feline character. Imagine if they reshot the animated series in modern Pixar style.
Um , besides all of the obvious things we all can see through in the franchises , there is one point I would like you to consider . The REGISTRY NUMBER of the enterprise and where the name ENTERPRISE came from . IM not sure where the NCC part came from , but the number 1701 is not a model number . It is the approximate century our constitution was written and ratified . Hence , CONSTITUTION CLASS . Enterprise refers to being a business . And since we are in a business of sorts . There you are ! A history lesson . Tie in our revolutionary war , and why we are in odds with other cultures . ALIANS ! And how that ties into our culture discourse here . With miniskirts and high heal shoes for the women , and COMBAT for the men . Ya , Vietnam really had a bigger part than ya all think .
@@christophersnyder1532 um , really ? Airplane registration is different , but I never saw cc after the n . Um , if the franchise wasn’t FICTIONAL , then perhaps it would make sense to investigate through the FAA . But this IS nasa territory . And all I’ve ever seen was the USA logo on their space craft . Even space x doesn’t have registered space craft like the franchise . So I believe that while the space craft is in atmosphere , it needs I D but once it leaves the atmosphere , it doesn’t .
I use still shots to avoid being booted off UA-cam for copyright violations. Sometimes you can get away with posting full visuals, but it's not worth the stress.
How unique, a UA-cam video featuring someone reading something they know nothing about! Are you reading directly from Wikipedia? And you didn’t even cite a reference. 🚀

The guy with three arms ("Arex") was voiced by James Doohan. who played Scotty in the original series.
It introduced some good stuff. Larry Niven's writings were used as part of a show.
Johnny quest was a good serious animated show too.

No, ST now and in the past 10-15 years have been pure garbage.
@@Kingofallfunnelheads strange new worlds and lower decks are absolutely awesome!
I never knew about the animated series, and I am a fan...

Well, I'm Canadian, but sure.
@@revisitingtv um , hi 👋, NCC , what do you think it means ?
Hello, I can fill you in on how the NCC came in place, airplane codes on the tail.
Take care, and all the best.

@jamesbeemer7855 Um, the way you say "um" all the time is, um, really annoying.
Yee
Ummm...where's the animation?
Filmation was not a flashy animation studio, lot of repeat shots, lot of static shots... But the scripts were good for the most part.

You think I should know the details about Star Trek The Animated Series off the top of my head? What an interesting opinion.
