Here’s the direct YouTube link, though the latest issue of the accompanying comic can only be found on the official website.

      I hesitated to watch this one.

      The humour is very 90s colonic irrigation level and sensibility.

      This one did make me smile at one point though.

      To see Riker, who would bravely take on fresh gagh to show openness to other cultural expectations, find the limit of his tolerances, is amusing.

      I just wish the humour got beyond school age.

          Aren’t the TAS episodes literally the TOS scripts they didn’t get to do?
          Notably “the soft weapon”…
          (Are those Caitians? No, Kzinti!)

          Anyway, given that it’s the original cast doing the voice acting, I like to think of TAS as “the rest” of TOS.
          Star Trek TOS: 3 seasons
          Star Trek TAS: 2 seasons
          Star Trek TNG: 7 seasons
          Star Trek DS9: 7 seasons
          Star Trek Voy: 7 seasons
          Star Trek Ent: 4 seasons
          Star Trek Dis: 4 seasons
          Star Trek ST: 2 seasons
          Star Trek Pic: 3 seasons
          Star Trek LD: ≥4 seasons
          Star Trek Pro: ≥1 season
          Star Trek SNW: ≥2 seasons

          Hmm, what’s next? A DS9+Ent crossover show, to round out the “peak Trek nostalgia” lineup?

          Personally, my pick would be to see a crew of scrappy Terrans find their way to the good lucky universe, rather than “Starfleet Academy” kids… We have Prodigy for that?

    This one had a couple of turns of phrase that smacked of an inexperienced Trek writer: Riker introduced himself as “Commanding officer William Riker” (rather than “Commander” or “First Officer”), and Crusher called him “Bill” rather than “Will”.

    On the bright side, I can rationalise these as evidence that this is far from a canon story. 🤣

      The Bill thing at least is a joke about TNG season 1 - they had Troi call him Bill and it was in the early series bible that Picard would call him William and he would be called Bill by “close female friends.” I hate these shorts (although I’m glad they exist for the animation, at least), but that was a pretty funny callback.

      Yes indeed - it’s basically a Star Trek version of “Duck Amuck.” Very lightweight, but I’m enjoying it more than the actual shorts. The first one is linked here.
