12 Fascinating facts about Star Trek the animated series
- Thread starter Trekfan12
- Start date
So it seems yesterday you started three threads with little or nothing more than a link.
I've talked to you about this before. If you're going to start a thread, it should be a discussion thread, not just a list or a link. What about these twelve fascinating facts? Do you agree? Disagree? Did they miss one?
In the future, put some thought into the discussion you want to start. Flesh out the link with ideas and/or questions. Otherwise, it's going to be considered spamming.
-No Spamming. You can't post the same thing multiple times on the board, or post the same thing over and over in a certain thread or forum, or continuously make posts that have no real content or relevance to what is being discussed. Spamming can even just be posting too much--as a general rule, don't post more than two or three threads in a forum within a reasonable length of time. Just posting stuff like "Okay, " or "I agree!" could be spamming. Contribute to a discussion; don't just build post count
Thanks

Oh I am SO glad they did not do #2. Even as a kid I was offended by cartoons that just HAD to include the stupid kid sidekick or the stupid anthropomorphic animal sidekick. I have so much more respect for the show that they played it straight and respected my intelligence (even as a kid) rather than insulting it.
I think 1001001 was QUITE clear. Perhaps you ought to re-read his post.
I might suggest including some of your own opinions about the stories you're linking to in your OP.
I would suggest that...well...you follow my previous suggestion.
It's not that hard to add a little content. The goal is to create a discussion. I gave several examples of how you could do that.
And please stick to PM's when you have a question/concern.
Thanks. Carry on.
I never used to regard it as canon to be honest but these days I'm not too sure!

Canon needs to be shot from a cannon, into the sun.
Wonder why it wasn't considered canon for those eight years?
Filmation as an animation studio closed in the latter 1980s and was sold to the French division of Loreal (yes, the makeup company). So there was a question as to who exactly owned the animated material. To make things easier during that period of legal limbo, Paramount requested anything specific to the animated series (M'Ress, Arex, the Phylosians, etc.) not the referenced in the various licensed material (like the comics DC published at that time). Years later, when the matter was settled, "nods" to the 1973 cartoon started to slip into the filmed material (sehlats in "Enterprise", Spock's home town in a matte painting for the "remastered" version of 'Amok Time", the original plan for the "twins" in "Into Darkness" to be Caitians).
Turnabout is fair play. The Animated Series never mentions the Encyclopedia either.
Memory Alpha is the superior reference, anyway.
True, but if so, how could Paramount Home Video release TAS in 1989 on video (with the box title: "The Animate Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek" no less)? Just wondering...

I don't have the link available (as I'm at work), but there exists a story on-line article in which the two actresses (rolling around in bed with Chris Pine) were interviewed. They stated they were meant to be Caitians and the earlier makeup designs were supposedly much more feline. But in the end they were given Vortis styled ear appliances and nothing in the way of kitty noses or upper lips. the only thing catlike left were the tails (which I discovered were puppeteered on set and not CG animation as I first thought).
