Star Trek The Animated Series
 

Who remembers this cool animated spin-off of the original series? i do, it use to air in reruns in the 80's on Nickelodeon and watched it 25 years ago when i was 4, it introduced me to Star Trek along with the first 3 movies on video.

It introduced two cool new members of the crew like the weird camel-faced 3 armed Arrex and the sexy feline Caitlain M'ress, i had a crush on her when i was 4 as it was her with Cleo from Heathcliff and Cheetara that started my fascination for catgirls.

I would love to see both members in the next Star Trek movie

Bought it on DVD, because it was the only Trek series not aired on TV in reruns. Liked it because animation lends to some weird aliens.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see those two characters on the next ST movie?

Who else thought M'ress was cute? i do, catgirls are sexy creatures like Mermaids and Elf girls especially in myths.

I wonder who would play Arrex and M'resse's voices?

Who loves that the OC (Original crew) starred on this show?

Is this a thread for the appreciation of a cartoon, or a place for you to confess that you're a furry?

Appreciation of a cartoon.

And wondering if M'ress and Arrex would fit in the new movie universe? if they can work on film.

I really like the Animated Series. In my opinion, the last good Trek TV show. The animation was definitely limited (this was Filmation, after all), but the writing was on par with the the original series.

I just like to say that altho I liked a couple eps of the Animated series....it's not canon. Except for the Spock time travel episode. That's the only ep that's canon. :P

I do however have an encyclopedia of Star Trek aliens that features a page on the Caitians....

Oh I see, one of those ubobjective "Kirk or bust" types huh?

DS9>all

TNG and Voyager for me...

Actually I'm pretty sure the Animated Series is cannon. It's the series that names Amanda Grayson as Spock's Mom and first gave us James Tiberious Kirk. The original series gave Kirk a different middle name and Amanda never got a last name. Then again I'm just going fro the insert in the DVD.

The animted series was pretty interesting of what I have seen from Youtube.

Next Generation and The Original Series for me.:D

No, I just found that from Next Gen on Trek started to get too wrapped up in Roddenberry's philosophy and less on telling interesting stories.

Next Gen and onward:

No money
No religion
No war
No disease

Pre-Next Gen

All of the above exist and allow for more interesting characters

Its Star Trek...

I liked it. would be nice to see an updated Star Trek in cartoon form. Like updated to the TNG-esque era.
That being said...

I like cartoons, and I liked M'ress.

Its all good.
