It’s been years since I’ve seen the animated series, but watching these clips makes me believe that these episodes were well thought out. And if they (makers of the show) brought back characters from the original series, I would say the animated series is canon
In many cases, they even brought back the original actors. Cyrano Jones, Harry Mudd, even Sarek -- all voiced by the same actors who played them in TOS.
Actually, back in 1989, the animated series was canon. There's a book called 'Star Trek: Worlds of the Federation' that's essentially a guide to the planets visited and species encountered up to that time. I bought a copy around 1990 and found all the species and worlds that I'd missed out on because no TV station in my area ever aired the animated series and I never knew it existed.
0:44 *TNG* took Uhura’s line and used it in the episode “Contagion.” Riker: “If it should become necessary to fight, could you arrange to find me some rocks to throw at them?”
This series needs to be remastered honestly Good stories but imagine you port the SFX to nowadays animation you'd have a literal better watchable TOS continuation
One of the flaws with the Star Trek series was always maintaining continuity. New writers are brought on board who know nothing about the canon. Star Wars has the same problem.
Meanwhile, aboard the Klingon ship: ""Our power cells are nearly depleted, but we can still disable the Enterprise ... wait - they beamed a bunch of tribbles on board!" "Helmsman, let's ... just leave."
Filmation produced Star Trek, the animated series for NBC, (not CBS) during the 1973-74 Saturday morning season. If I remember right, this was Filmation's first series for the network, which also aired the classic original '60s TV series.
This animated episode had Jones's tribbles grow to gargantuan size! Even the Klingon predator brought aboard couldn't cope with such huge, furry (and cooing!) tribbles! It would be awesome to have two-ton tribbles roaming around Earth!
Saturday mornings, from Sept. 1973 to Spring / Summer 1975. Filmation Associates. 22 episodes. This is episode # 5: More Tribbles, More Troubles, written by the original author of ST: TOS episode The Trouble with Tribbles, David Gerold.
I think I read online that writer David Gerold, wanted to use this episode in the original show’s third season but the producer of the third season rejected it because he didn’t like the original Tribble episode.
It's a mixture of dampening field and tractor beam. Meant to make ships easier targets. The Star Trek Online version of the device allows you to push enemies away.
It's too bad that William Campbell did not do voic over for Koloth for this episode like he did the live action role in The Trouble with Tribbles. I know a lot of Hardcore trekkies don't consider the Animated Series to be Canon, and while I would contend it is at worst deuterocanonical, obviously most of the main characters properly voiced-over for the Animated Series, but after all for the episode Blood Oath of Deep Space Nine obviously William Campbell John Colicos and Michael Ansara all appeared. As well as the episode of Voyager where Kang was depicted going up against Sulu on the Excelsior around the same time of the events of the Undiscovered Country...
"We could always throw rocks."
Uhura in TAS is the absolute best
Uhura in The Undiscovered Country! The thing's gotta have a tailpipe.
"It WILL work...or else he'd still be gloating!" Kirk knows Klingons better than they know themselves.
Yep
Captain Kirk: "Fire phasers."
Spock (eyebrow raises): "Are you F'ing stupid Captain? I said we're paralyzed."
Loss of engines does not necessarily mean phasers are also gone
Nice in the beginning having Dr. Spock cut off in mid count on that 4 seconds.
That’s *Mr.* Spock.
They're brothers.
🤭 Dr. Spock is a human from an earlier time.
@@MichaelSHartman No. The Star Trek character is Dr. Spock.
@@fjccommish you're thinking of Dr. Benjamin Spock.

@@MundaneGray This was made before any of the movies and they were all still getting TV series pay at the time so they were still affordable.

Loved this cartoon series, just saw it for the first time last year.

So this is the battle Koloth regretted never having with Kirk. ;)
No Klingon will admit that he was defeated by tribbles, not even Worf...

@@Venezolano410 It isn't a flaw, it's a good feature. Who wants some show that doesn't know what they did last week, like the Simpsons?
@@acmenipponair
How is not maintaining canon a good thing? I'm sorry but what you wrote doesn't make sense to me. I don't watch the Simpsons.
Scotty! Reverse the transport! Send him back!

It was almost five years prior that Filmation showed The adventures of Batman and Robin on NBC starting Sept. 1968
I remember this in its second or third rerun back in the late 80s early 90s.
Every star trek needs more tribbles
(0:44) "It also made my scope disappear. Fascinating 🤨"
I like Scotty's teleporting mustache.
Animated Kyle (transporter chief) had a mustache. So when they cut in stock footage of the hand on the transporter lever, they used him.
FAN NA STATKU!
sunday nights 7pm to7:30 on heroes&icons network welcome back to saturday morning cartoons on nbc
This animated episode had Jones's tribbles grow to gargantuan size! Even the Klingon predator brought aboard couldn't cope with such huge, furry (and cooing!) tribbles! It would be awesome to have two-ton tribbles roaming around Earth!
Assuming it doesn't eat too much and become godzilla size 😂
If Captain Kolog would said we want Cyrno Jones back. Captain Kirk might of said. Oh ok !!
Along with the tribbles? Maybe not.
What the hell? They had an animated series?
Saturday mornings, from Sept. 1973 to Spring / Summer 1975. Filmation Associates. 22 episodes. This is episode # 5: More Tribbles, More Troubles, written by the original author of ST: TOS episode The Trouble with Tribbles, David Gerold.
Yes, with original cast members and writers, such as Dorothy Fontana. Good stories. It was the second Star Trek series.
I love how people suddenly began replying to a ten year old comment as if it had been made last week.
@@qwertyuio404
Well, if you just saw it last week . . . .
Uh, yes. Quite some time ago. Excellent stories, horrible animation.
Harry Mudd also showed up in the animated series.
Ceranau Jones "The Tribble trader" 👍
Cyrano
00:36 He starts talking before his mouth starts moving!
Lol and the klingon accent sounds asian lol
I think I read online that writer David Gerold, wanted to use this episode in the original show’s third season but the producer of the third season rejected it because he didn’t like the original Tribble episode.
i think... .> that man.
@renecrod3 That's what i heard. It had to be between 66 and the early 70s. The series started in 66 i believe.
Ahh More Tibbles More Troubles...
it was nice to see a failing Star Trek series revived through animation. then the actors were back on screen in the movie "The motion picture".
@mattkearneyfan180 Yeah back in the 70's i think.
3:14 - I guess momentum is no longer a thing in the future.

any chance of a full episode of st tas I have only found clips
I think it's on Netflix.
I dunno if you still care but it is on amazon prime. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.
Paramount+
Scotty channeling Yosemite Sam there.
The Klingons discovered the ion canon.
Koloth was portrayed by William Campbell in the original series, but not here.
Most likely James Doohan which he handled nearly half of the male voices.
@@SnowDaulphin Correct James Doohan was very talented with his voiceovers!
@@chake46 he really was the go to guy for the OSTS. Was he M-5?
@@SnowDaulphin I believe he was the M-5 as well.
Funny thing a week ago I saw the first year season finale Jason of Star Command episode including James Doohan as Capt. Canarvin it is here on YT.

0:23 Looks like part of the console is missing.
Sulu: “oh myyyy....”
1:01 did Scotty grow a mustache?
4:05 Call back the Klingons.
“Trib-bles!....”
"The first Klingon to step aboard this ship will be the last Klingon..." 👍🏿💯
I guess the Imperial Klingon Ship Klothos was switched back to the
IKS Gr 'otH for "tribble decontamination."
Not the same ship. IKS Klothos was commanded by Kor in "The Time Trap." This is IKS Gr'oth, commanded by Koloth.
star trek only lasted 1 season (cartoon show) on nbc 72-73
actually those few episodes were produced in 2 seasons
They couldn’t maintain the stasis field.
Somehow Shatner's voice always sounds odd to me in TAS. Not his usual inflection or cadence. Hard to put my finger on it.
Like To Hanna Barbera Surprise To Scooby Doo
ok 73-74 my bad
LOL
Kuuurwa spock
Mudd.
