I don't think McCoy & Spock were looking for a short and amusing story ("anecdote") to cure the particular plague they were facing.

[@fjccommish]

Antidote.

[@trappedkitty5335]

Now they have an antidote anecdote. Honestly, the anecdotal evidence of the cure from before was the farthest I've seen Spock grasp for a straw, but what do I know about 23rd century medicine?

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Obviously, laughter would save Kirk's life. ''Quickly, give this man a joke!"

[@ResidentBob79]

They say laughter is the best medicine, but ANECDOTE?? 😆

[@fjccommish]

Antidote.

[@ZeroOskul]

10 years later... The Plague is loose aboard "The Enterprise"! I need a short, amusing, personal story! Stat!

[@fjccommish]

Antidote, not anecdote.

[@kirk1701]

I think it's an antidote....not an anecdote. I actually thought, based on the thumbnail, that Spock was going to give the crew an anecdote about his childhood.

[@jtkirkfan2002]

Really CBS? No one there knows the difference between "anecdote" and "antidote"? Or do you just not know how to edit the description? This is embarrassing for a network's official channel.

[@billkasperdotcom]

Fucking fascinating.

[@martinhughes2549]

Yes there's definitely a story to tell there....

If you think that's an embarassment, you should see the shit Trek they're putting out now.

[@johnmanning4097]

This takes me back to when I was a kid watching this on Saturdays great memories

[@MrMarkerickson]

I have more than anecdotal evidence that you should've used the word "antidote!'

[@MichaelSHartman]

I remember liking the animated series years ago when it aired.

[@kingbeauregard]

cool antidote

[@ChrisWell]

The word is "antidote."

Bruh! *Anecdote* _a short interesting story about a real person or event_

[@steelers6titles]

The characters' eyeballs are the same color as their skins.

[@MichaelSHartman]

Like people with brown eyes?

[@steelers6titles]

@@MichaelSHartman Actually, I stand corrected. The conjunctiva of the character's eyeballs matches the skin; it should be white, of course, for humanoids (including Spock). Maybe the cheap Filmation animation overlooked this. The money went for the scriptwriters, and original actors for the characters (except for Walter Koenig as Chekov; the budget couldn't afford him, although he did write, or co-write, an episode).

[@agalgonzalez]

A wonderful episode! Showing humanity is not limited to humans.

[@brennonguilbeau569]

Looks like a subspecies of Ferengi.

[@RedCygnes14]

LOL!!!

[@nctpti2073]

Spock feeds things into the computer by clicking pretty colored buttons. And why would they need McCoy when McCoy's 'doctoring' is 100% Spock looking things up then telling McCoy the answer....

[@majkus]

This was CBS, the major corporation owning the property, and in ten years they STILL couldn't professionalize this posting by substituting the correct word?

[@mobilein5to10minutes6]

McCoy is a Dr, not a spell checker...Anecdote?!?!?!

[@DuderinoDeux]

Your treachery is transparent Vulcan.

[@brettcooper3893]

That's a seriously bad case of food poisoning for the crew.

[@williamhaynes4800]

The actual title this episode is "Albatross".

[@marksoquet2618]

It was Spock who saved the day

[@marktaylor6553]

I noticed something watching all of these clips - ONLY Kirk is allowed to do everything. Everyone else gets sidelined. I mean, this one was more blatant then most - he's feverish and dying, and he still solves MEDICAL things that confuse Spock and McKoy?

[@puntabachata]

McCoy: No. But Scotty has a fifth of Sorian Brandy.

[@michaelclentworth1283]

Why is the animated series still not regarded as canon?

[@leovalverde1508]

TAS is getting more and more respect. In fact a lot of it is getting made cannon by new Trek, especially Lower Decks.

[@icollectstories5702]

I don't think there is a consistent canon to Star Trek. Each series seems to have its own peculiarities and internal inconsistencies, too. I am reminded of a Douglas Adams comment that story-telling depends on the medium: a book, a radio show, and a film CAN'T be the same as they must entertain the audience in different ways. Star Trek has been and will be re-told differently each time because the culture around it changes. I like canon because I like consistency and hate surprises. But Star Trek will sacrifice consistency if it gets in the way of the script, seemingly out of either ignorance or boredom. And that's kinda okay for a fictional universe. The real reason why no one wants to revisit TAS: Lt. Arex's third arm.😜

[@icollectstories5702]

"Captain! There's the ol' Bonaventure, the first ship to have warp drive installed! She vanished without a trace on her third voyage." Scotty in "The Time Trap," momentarily(?) forgetting Zef Cochrane. The episode also has "centuries old" Klingons with smooth brows in the council of aliens.

[@ottopenquist5545]

Because Roddenbury did not like it.

​@ottopenquist5545 There was one episode of the animated series that he liked.
