Plus, read the penultimate chapter of the tie-in comic!

Here’s the direct YouTube link, though the latest issue of the accompanying comic can only be found on the official website.

    I hesitated to watch this one.

    The humour is very 90s colonic irrigation level and sensibility.

    This one did make me smile at one point though.

    To see Riker, who would bravely take on fresh gagh to show openness to other cultural expectations, find the limit of his tolerances, is amusing.

    I just wish the humour got beyond school age.

      I’m not enjoying the “series” much, but Frakes was very good in this.

      Which is ironic because TAS, while a bit whacky, was extremely mature for a cartoon of that era.

        Aren’t the TAS episodes literally the TOS scripts they didn’t get to do?
        Notably “the soft weapon”…
        (Are those Caitians? No, Kzinti!)

        Anyway, given that it’s the original cast doing the voice acting, I like to think of TAS as “the rest” of TOS.
        Star Trek TOS: 3 seasons
        Star Trek TAS: 2 seasons
        Star Trek TNG: 7 seasons
        Star Trek DS9: 7 seasons
        Star Trek Voy: 7 seasons
        Star Trek Ent: 4 seasons
        Star Trek Dis: 4 seasons
        Star Trek ST: 2 seasons
        Star Trek Pic: 3 seasons
        Star Trek LD: ≥4 seasons
        Star Trek Pro: ≥1 season
        Star Trek SNW: ≥2 seasons

        Hmm, what’s next? A DS9+Ent crossover show, to round out the “peak Trek nostalgia” lineup?

        Personally, my pick would be to see a crew of scrappy Terrans find their way to the good lucky universe, rather than “Starfleet Academy” kids… We have Prodigy for that?
