We bid a fond if not entirely unwelcome farewell to The Animated Series this week, the show that proved that The Original Series was not just a flash in the pan. “How Sharper Than a Serpent’s Tooth” is basically a retread of “Who Mourns for Adonais?” but with 100% less sexual harassment and 100% more flying snake dragons. “The Counter-Clock Incident” closes out the series, and it’s a fine episode that possibly points the way forward for Kirk and crew. Also! Richard is way more into scientific inaccuracies in Star Trek than Eric. Who’s the Trekkie here again?

-Hooray! Made it through the Animated Series! I liked it! I had been avoiding it and probably would not have watched it if you guys didn’t cover it. I have now seen everything up through the second season of Voyager, so I can speed through your podcast at will! I look forward to it! On to the movies!
