I watched the first DVD of the animated Star Trek last night. I don't care for the changed theme music. Although William Shatner gets top billing as the voice of Captain Kirk, its James Doohan who is heared the most as he not only voices Scotty but most of the other male guest characters. Other than Uhura the women are voiced by Roddenberry's widow. In the episode in which Spock has to travel back in time to save himself, the creature that attacks young Spock sounds like Godzilla, doesn't look anything like the daikaiju just has his roar. So far the only episode I remembered at all was that one.

i loved the show as a kid. i was ST starved, and new adventures were just what the doctor ordered.
when watching the first DVD as well, i was surprised at how many of the images i remembered, if not the stories that much. the Tribbles sequel is a lot of fun as well. i have three of the books they put out with written adaptations of the episodes, which considerably flesh out the short episodes.

I'll admit to laughing at the silly tribbles/troubles puns.
Was there a book on the one when their male members of the crew are controled by a signal from an alien probe? I thought that story would have been better if it ran longer.

It's hard to tell if I am just being nostalgic, but I love these animated episodes...they hit the spot. I like the music, the animation is fine, and the atmosphere works for me.
