This show is hilarious. Fucking gold.

Kzinti telepaths are supposed to look fucked up. It's in the novels.

>that one episode where the Enterprise is trapped in a cosmic void and can only escape buy convincing different enemy factions to work together. And then Voyager did the exact same plot and thought we wouldn't notice

>Fools their complex almost sentient computer system by putting his photo on an ID card. This is a system that takes ten seconds to do the equivalent to a Google search. Don't oversell it.

>>That episode about a race of asparagus people who are led by a 100 foot tall genetically modified human who wants to kidnap Spock and create an army of 100 foot tall Spock clones for peacekeeping purposes He DID make one giant Spock, who I guess just hung out with that guy forever
Wonder what they did
Levi Robinson
Holy shit I forgot about the clone Damn that must have gotten uncomfortable really fast

Kevin Smith
Now that I think about it Giant Spock probably died in pon farr
Talk about uncomfortable
Alexander Lewis
Yeah it was fucking wild.
Sebastian Davis
Craziest thing is that episode was written by Walter Koenig. It was his only contribution to TAS. He must have been on the good stuff at the time.
Henry Butler
It seemed kinda weird that they cut Koenig from TAS since I thought Chekov was fairly popular by the time TOS ended? maybe they needed to keep Doohan to voice 90% of the extras in TAS
Ryder Cox
Written by a woman. Pretty fucking progressive for the time.
Kzin also have to earn names which is why none of them aside from "Chuft Captain" have real names. They even delved into the 4 Man-Kzin Wars and how Kzinti females are just fucktoy animals with no intelligence. Shit, they even referenced them in a difference episode and there was a Kzin present on that Council of Species from the episode with the space/time pocket in the "Not Bermuda Triangle". I wonder where things stand now. Clearly the entire Known Universe doesn't coincide with Star Trek's universe, but are the Kzin still an accepted part of Star Trek lore? Or did they change them into the "Xindi" at some point in order to keep a semblance of continuity?
Ethan Rogers
They rename the kzin, because they Didn't want to have to pay royalties to Niven. Same reason they got rid of ensign Ro.
