Watching #StarTrek: #TheAnimatedSeries (#STTAS) for the first time. Feels a bit like Christmas, watching all these “new” episodes I've never seen before, starring Nichelle Nichols, DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Majel Barrett, James Doohan, Leonard Nimoy, and William Shatner! 😻

(The only regular from #TheOriginalSeries missing is Walter Koenig as Chekov. Turns out they were short on money so they didn't hire him except as a script writer for one episode.)

Fun story. #TheAnimatedSeries was made during a #writersstrike; the show runner #DCFontana being a longtime writer herself knew the Union rules backwards and forwards. She knew any Union writer could write one episode of an animated series under the strike rules. So she went to every great writer she knew who needed work during the strike and offered them one episode. (wha) #StarTrek #STTAS #TAS
