So, I have a story about Star Trek the Animated Series.

My friends and I used to watch it in college, but it was a drinking game. We watched it in Spanish, with no subtitles (and none of us speak Spanish). And there were certain things they said every episode, and everybody drinks when they say it.

"No es logico, capitan"

Let's see, I don't remember episode titles but from memory:

• The one where Harry Kim is having visions of a planet full of hot desperate women who want him for a mate

• The one where they're on a prison colony and Chakotay has to fight The Rock. And this was before Dwayne Johnson's film career really took off.

• The one where they go Warp 10 and devolve into lizard creatures. The lizard versions of Tom Paris and Janeway have lizard babies.

• The one where Janeway falls in love with a holodeck character

• The one where Kes comes back and she's evil

It's a real mixed bag. Sometimes you swing and you miss, and I respect them for even giving these stories a chance. Also I rather like Tuvix.

Aside from that, it just makes for a better story. They wouldn't want to hamstring their ability to write action scenes because of some line from the first season.

Such a shame with Kes too. Fantastic actress, badly designed character, poor planning. Wasn't her fault.
