Star Trek The Animated Series

While Star Trek: The Original Series was unceremoniously cancelled after its third season, the show would go on to become a phenomenon in syndication. The first hint that Star Trek would outlive its somewhat humble beginnings was Star Trek: The Animated Series, an Emmy winning cartoon that aimed for a family friendly vibe without sacrificing what made The Original Series work.   It's been debated for years whether or not The Animated Series is a proper part of Star Trek canon - franchise creator Gene Roddenberry tended to vacillate on the issue, but current Star Trek head honcho Alex Kurtzman says it is. It even got a couple of brief references in Star Trek: Picard - so we're including it here.   STA Season 1+2
