My first vote is for "ONCE UPON A PLANET".

It's a fun episode. I like it slightly more than the others.

"Once Upon A Planet" is an interesting take on the rogue computer with Kirk, once again, reasoning the computer out of its dangerous behaviour. The difference here is that Kirk, rather than defeating the computer, persuades it of the benefits of behaving "well". Revisiting the "Shore Leave" planet gives us some background to that episode - the kind of retcon that works properly. Also a nice Uhura scene - she did better in the animated series than the live action ones.

"Once Upon A Planet" has some good bits for Uhura, and both Arex & M'Ress get to speak. That makes it a TAS winner in my book.

A 2 for 1 vote here. My first vote saves Once Upon a Planet off the list, as despite it being a tame imitation of Shore Leave, it still has some nice fun moments.

For the next round, I vhoose Bem. I really enjoyerd how alien he was.

Voting "BEM" this round.

He was annoying, but he was truly alien.

"Mudd's Passion" has become totally fascinating to rewatch given what SNW has developed about Spock & Chapel.

Mudd's Passion was not exactly a great episode, but it was wonderful to get to hear Roger Carmel again. Any recurrence of a true TOS guest star makes a TAS episode worthwhile, I think, so MP earns my vote because I'm grateful that Harry didn't sound like Jimmy Doohan.
