New Appreciation for TAS

The only one I can think of is McCoy in his short sleeved shirt shot in sick-bay while he was in the transporter room with Spock in Mudd's Women to be honest!

That's a good one.

Kyle's shirt color changed from red to gold while he was at the helm in "The Immunity Syndrome," a pretty classic TAS sort of error.

Footage of Nomad leaving the bridge turbolift was used for it coming out of sickbay.

If only @GSchnitzer were still alive, I'm sure he could come up with more.
 
Kyle's red shirt appearance could be sort of explained as a temporary promotion! Starting off as red and then yellow later on?

But it wasn't John Winston that did the voice! I'll bet he wouldn't have been that expensive either! :wah:

By Filmation standards, any guest star would've been expensive. And Kyle was too small a role to bother with getting the actor. Heck, they had James Doohan play Kor, Koloth, and Bob Wesley, and Majel Barrett played Amanda. The only TOS guest actors they brought back were Mark Lenard, Stanley Adams, and Roger C. Carmel. They did bring in Ed Bishop for "Megas-tu" and Ted Knight for "The Survivor," but both were established voice actors, and Knight had worked for Filmation before. (Initially they planned to have Doohan and Barrett play Sulu and Uhura too, but Leonard Nimoy convinced them to hire Takei and Nichols, partly on the grounds of how bad it would look to exclude both nonwhite cast members.)
 
Franz Joseph's blueprints showed a second entrance to the bridge. This entrance was depicted in a TAS episode.
 
Gonna have to look out for all these glitches and hiccups next time I watch through TAS; all adds to the texture and colour. :-)

I must confess to a paticular affection for it, and colour of a kind has a lot to do with that. It's one of my absolute favourite shows, transported into a medium I've loved all my life, and given extra visual and world-building dimensions as a result. I would honestly be delighted to see new Trek animation, as the freedom of the form suits the show well, for me. Unlikely, though, I know. Still, I can dream.
 
Going by the composition of background elements, it appears that in TAS the secondary bridge exit is to a second turbolift.
 
Personally I find the flashiness of STD to be very distracting and separated me from what I was meant to be focusing on.


I know you mean that as a bad thing, but that would be a crossover I would've loved to have seen! Kirk hitting on Daphne, Velma swooning over Spock, Shaggy and Scooby draining the food dispensers dry, all before discovering that the Ghosts of Starbase 10 were actually Orion smugglers trying to scare Starfleet out of the system to sneak contraband through it :lol:

The Animation series is watchable but the threshold to press the play button must happen. Heh eh, yea.
 
I've seen some episodes on Saturday mornings as a kid, but I barely remember any of them...probably be (re)watching some of em in the near future though since I picked up a used/inexpensive copy of the blu set recently.
 
I still think that "Time Trap" would have been a great live-action episode or a live-action motion picture. If only J.J. Abrams would have done this as one of his ST films.
