[ID: Five gifs of Star Trek: The Animated Series. The first three gifs show Jim Kirk pushing an increasingly bigger pink Tribble out of his captain's chair on the bridge, with increasing difficulty. The fourth gif shows Spock asking him: "Aren't you going to sit down, sir?" The fifth gif shows Kirk standing next to his chair, with a huge Tribble in it- too big to move. Kirk answers: "I think I'll stand." The Tribble makes a sound as if it's laughing. End ID]

More Tribbles, More Troubles

Paul Wesley gets a lot of shit for not looking much like Shatner’s Kirk (even though he’s got the mannerisms down perfectly), which seems unfair considering he looks exactly like TAS Kirk

This man is a gift who should be cherished

What is wrong with him? (affectionate)

[crystal-mouse]

Hey, don't cry. 900 star trek episodes, many good, okay?

I can’t trust those who don’t like TAS

“Lower Decks was made by people who hate Star Trek”

No, lower decks was made by people who love Star Trek enough to make an entire show about everything Star Trek is, to put in references to episodes that barely anyone knows about, to watch all of Star Trek enough to know every stereotype and running gag in the fandom, and to still make the show able to stand on its own 2 feet.

They put in a reference to the animated series episode “the infinite Vulcan” where Spock is cloned to be a massive Vulcan, they put in a reference in the comics about “The way to Eden” in their first edition, these are people who care about Star Trek enough to find every nook and cranny of it, and create a likeable show about it.

I am also a firm believer that if you truly like a show, you are able to point out that it does have flaws, and to accept that, and I feel that lower decks does that perfectly. It shows that your little perfect Star Trek show has flaws and inconsistencies, but shows that you can still enjoy watching the show, as well as you can fix those mistakes or just have it be funny.

I really like lower decks. 🫠

and they were two bros under the influence of a love potion roommates

[dogearedfriends]

love putting that guy in a square

[jumbledbee]

Hey guys, um. Can we talk abt the TAS episode where everyone gets a dose of love potion and Kirk and Spock are suddenly really affectionate??? And Kirk is implied to be jealous of Christine??

Animated Trek will always rank higher in terms of confidence compared to the recent live action shows because of how it fully embraces all the silly quirks of this long running franchise.

For bonus points share one thing you wish would have happened in that extra season

Edit: So many comments about Prodigy not being on here! Well, I am a Prodigy fan too. But I left it off because last I heard Netflix picked it up. Now I don’t have faith it will happen, but nonetheless there is at least one more season planned and maybe more.

On the other hand, even though the last seasons of discovery & lower decks haven’t finished airing, they both have planned end dates.

Oh the banter…

Watching the season 4 finale of Lower Decks, and realized that the Orion ship that D'Erika sends to pick up D'Vana...

Is a fully 3D realized version of the Orion pirate ship seen in TAS
