[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] Jason, have you actually watched most of it, or is "The Infinite Vulcan" all you've seen? What about "Beyond The Farthest Star," "Yesteryear," "The Survivor," "The Ambergris Element," "The Time Trap," "The Jihad," "Bem," "Albatross"...? -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/qb][/QUOTE]Truthfully, it seems as if TAS was made in the "campiness era" of not offending anyone via comics or cartoons. I've only seen about half of the episode with the giant Spock (because it really wasnt worth watching the whole thing and the episode with the Kzin (another terrible episode, frankly). I wouldnt mind watching "Yesteryear" or "Beyond the Farthest star" (because the ship design is cool) but as far as making the whole series canon, I'd say it's not worthwhile: There's enough to try to ignore in TOS and Voyager already. After readinf the episode reviews at EAS, the series as a whole doesnt seem worth buying and no one airs it (kinda strange in itself). The tech bits (like O'Brien mentioning an unmanned cargo ship) that are mentioned onscreen can be safely considered canon (as they dont require the inclusion of the actual stories of TAS) I'm a big fan of non-human crewmembers but a talking cat is hardly creative. The orange male crewman with the extra appendeges was cool though....and not too disimilar to the Species 8472 design. [/QB][/QUOTE]
