The original series was supposed to be “a five year
mission”. The show was cancelled after three seasons. The animated series picks
up where the live action series left off and gives us the last two years of
that five year mission. What is great about this series is that it was cheaper
to produce a cartoon then a sophisticated scifi show. As a result, the
animators were really allowed to let their imagination shine. A very cool piece of trivia of this show is
that originally only Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley were slated to return to their
roles. Nimoy refused to voice Spock unless the studio also brought back Nichols
and Takei. I love this series and think
it is a great addition to the Star Trek canon.
