Trekkie Anime

Anyone who knows me really well knows I’m a pretty big fan of Star Trek, although not the type to go to conventions. (Or at least, I’ve never gone out of my way to visit one.) I even submitted a story to the Strange New Worlds VIII contest, although it was rejected – and thankfully, not for technical reasons. (For those who wonder, the title was “Peanuts, Popcorn, Hasperat!”. I’ll give my fellow fans one guess what it referred to.)

When I was growing up, I remember watching the Nickelodeon channel, in particular for episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series. As with the other Star Trek series, I’d never seen all the episodes in the series, nor had I had the opportunity to do so. Thank goodness for DVD’s, even if they do come twenty years late!

Today, I wandered into the local comics shop (where I’ve been picking up issues of Battlestar Galactica comics – thank you, Ron Moore, for endorsing that). I’d seen the Animated Series on the shelf before, but I didn’t buy it then

. I bought it today, and I’m finally getting to see episodes of this classic, semi-canon series for the first time since I was a young teenager.

Personally, I’ve always felt that the animated series completed the Enterprise‘s original five-year mission. The original series ran for three seasons, which translates to about three years (something which later series have confirmed, as we watched Wil Wheaton and then Cirroc Lofton grow up on screen). Today, I discovered ST:TAS lasted two seasons. Three plus two equals five. A nice coincidence (even if that very last season only had six episodes in it). Of course, I’m not counting the books, of which I have dozens.

Sadly, I don’t get to feel like a kid again. I’m watching the new episodes, and while I enjoy them, my ears and other senses are picking up on little things that I didn’t notice two decades ago.

Now this is just a thought from a fan, but I’d like to hear Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock, John Billingsley, etc., etc. (and yes, Jeffrey Combs) get together and do a few seasons of Enterprise as an animated series. Putting aside the rather excellent book, “The Good That Men Do” by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin, there seemed to be no shortage of ideas when Enterprise ended.

Judith? Garfield? Please?

  1. Yes, even animated Enterprise would be good… But, how about a Virtal Seasons Enterprise?
    I’ve joined a ENT RPG, Season 5. Taking up after the series ended and the beginnings of the Romulan War. No telling how many RPG’s exist, but this one is going well.
