    The DS9 episode is just the TOS episode from another perspective. Yes, it’s fun and technically brilliant in its own right. But apart from the outbreak on the station meant as a gag, there’s nothing new regarding tribbles.

      Totally fair, not to mention, I’ve yet to put myself through TAS. Keep hearing “It’s worth it, but…” So, I gotta set aside some vacation time, call my connect, get some beer/Scotch, and tackle this thing.

        It’s worth it. Full stop.

        The original cast voices, stories written by science fiction giants of the time. You will quickly learn to accept and laugh at the stilted animation and just enjoy the Original Series-levels of absurdity.

        I’m pretty sure you’re going to see it as a net positive.

            Point taken, but don’t mistaken TAS for a parody, or even something like Lower Decks. It’s further episodes of The Original Series that they weren’t allowed the money to do in live action.

            (I gotta finally sit down and watch all of Harvey Birdman.)

              I expected as much, which is fine, 'cause TOS is brilliant. It’s just that I associate the style with that block in time when I also smoked like a chimney.
