description: When the beloved and now iconic original Star Trek show was cancelled in 1969, and went into syndication, nobody was expecting how much fan support was out there for the Enterprise and its crew. As it became clear to CBS that there was a great appetite for further adventures, they debuted a Saturday morning cartoon that continued that epic five-year mission, with a number of episodes penned by science fiction notables. The Star Trek Animated Show was produced by Gene Roddenburry and featured the voices of virtually every named star, including William Shatner Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, and the rest of the crew in 22 animated episodes that are considered canon by Trekkies the world around. This book is the first to document the animated series, each episode lovingly and authoritatively described by authors who had astonishing access to behind-the-scenes tales, original scripts, and the talent who made it all happen.CONTENTS BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR Page 14; Episode Opener - Episode Title, Juan Ortiz Art, Cast Names, Captain’s Log, Memory Bank Pages 15-16; Episode Notes Page 17; Episode Trivia, Canon, Literary Trek Pages 18-19; Episode images/Encyclopedia Pages 20-25 Yesteryear Pages 26-31 One of Our Planets is Missing Pages 32-37 The Lorelei Signal Pages 38-43 More Tribbles, More Troubles Pages 44-49 The Survivor Pages 50-51 Returning Cast Behind the Scenes Pages 52-57 The Infinite Vulcan Pages 58-63 The Magicks of Megas-Tu Pages 64-69 Once Upon a Planet Pages 70-75 Mudd’s Passion Pages 76-81 The Terratin Incident Pages 82-83 Music Behind the Scenes Pages 84-89 The Time Trap Pages 90-95 The Ambergris Element Pages 96-101 The Slaver Weapon Pages 102-107 The Eye of the Beholder Pages 108-113 The Jihad Pages 114-119 Animation Behind the Scenes Pages 120-125 The Pirates of Orion Pages 126-131 BEM Pages 132-137 The Practical Joker Pages 138-143 Albatross Pages 144-149 How Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth Pages 150-155 The Counter Clock Incident Pages 156-157 Series LegacyKept Fandom Alive; Include How Episodes Mentioned in Canon - During Hiatus Between TNG S1-2, Fafsa license was not renewed; Rights to TV Shows Backstock in Flux; canon 1989 = onscreen desilu and Paramount; Officially returned …; soft return in Unification TNG episode.; Con Photos - woman who dresses up as Empress &gt; still relevant, meant enough that fans still love these characters and treat it as part of tos legacy Include TAS character panel for Star Trek/Transformers IDW comic Hallmark Ornaments, CD-Roms, Trading Cards (with actor signatures) Series should be considered canon as writers have included moments from TAS episodes in episodes of DS9 and Discovery - what is officially out there saying NOT CANNON - Dorothy had left TNG before it had unofficially become an issue, and has never been a part of any conversation stating the show was not canon.
