Star Trek: The Animated Series - Serve a Greater Cause

[@zorkmid1083]

It's a pretty advanced concept for a children's cartoon here, where a visitor's normal bacteria became a plague for an alien race. I also liked the questions McCoy and Spock asked.

[@jtkirkfan2002]

Gene Roddenberry only agreed to do the animated series if the stories weren't dumbed down and they could tell the same type they told in the series. Many of TOS's original writers like Samuel A. Peeples, David Gerrold and Dorothy Fontana returned.

Aha this was the animated episode where Kirk says "Beam us up, Scotty."

[@josephmassaro]

This episode was written by Walter Koenig.

Retlaw is Walter backwards

4:49 Oh, he said it!

2:46: Never mind the bad animation - some of those stills are stunning. Reminds me of something from a Miyazaki film.

[@zorkmid1083]

Epi Endless I had the same impression when I saw part of "Beyond the Farthest Star", when Scotty pointed out the arches in the spaceship! That can't be a coincidence!

The voice of the plant creature resembles that of James Doohan..

[@josephmassaro]

It is James Doohan. He did a number of extra voices in this show and TOS.

[@jeffw1267]

@@josephmassaro The producers were always looking to save money so it made sense to use Doohan for a lot of voices.
