What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?
I feel like:
Everything about that show is great, including the theme. I sincerely hope we get a M’Ress cameo on SNW or at least someone from her planet.
If you haven’t seen the “TNG animated series“ homage someone put together, I highly recommend looking for it on YouTube or elsewhere. It’s lovingly done and spot on.
Have you seen the VOY one they did as well of the salamander Tom Paris episode?
TAS really is (besides maybe that weird stuff with the inflatable Enterprise, giant Spock, or that iffy bit of chauvinism in "The Slaver Weapon") a great TOS continuation. I loved The Lorelei Signal for giving Uhura and Chapel the opportunity to be girl bosses.
On a bit of a tangential note, I hope we get some excuse to see young April. It kind of makes me sad that STA is going to be set in the 32nd century and not the peaceful yet mysterious 2290s-2330s period. I feel like you could have just depicted academy life without all the "save the universe drama" (okay, maybe just a little, but not every episode) while following the late careers of a few officers like April or Sulu.
