Star Trek: The Animated Series introduced a number of far-out alien designs, beyond what could be done at the time in live action. Upon closer examination, how do they compare to our expectations about aliens in real life?

I really like that the creators of TAS knew the assignment and jumped in and thought up aliens that couldn't really be done in the live action series. That kind of stuff really fleshes out a universe often mocked so much for being populated by "humans with bumps on their heads" they threw the Progenitors into TNG to give a lore reason for it.

@@marhawkman303 In terms of emoting and the more subtle nuances in acting, definitely live action. When it comes to the fantastic or massive scale, animation lets us make it come to life in ways that would either look silly or be so technically complex as to be impractical.

@@francescozenocchini4428 Well, that's obviously quite subjective. I'd argue that some genres are better with live action, such as body horror, since it relies on the ability for our brain to identify with what we're seeing, and have a visceral reaction to it. An animated version of say, The Thing (1982), just wouldn't have hit nearly as hard as the live action version did (and still does).

I agree with everyone else who said it's great how TAS was able to create so many more non-humanoid alien species than the live action series were able to. I wish there was a new animated Trek series that focused on an unexplored area of space that was filled with non-humanoid aliens that had never been encountered before.

In Prodigy, there's an Aurelian named Adreek-Hu who served as Chakotay's first officer aboard the Protostar, and it's shown he doesn't have wings. According to Executive Producer Aaron Waltke, there might be some subspecies of flightless Aurelians, just as there are flightless birds.

I would hazard to guess that some may choose to have their wings removed, or perhaps they are individuals who were born without them (mutants), or ones that lost their wings in some sort of accident, because serving aboard a normal, human-designed UFP starship with a giant pair of wings would be problematic. Also, thanks to ST medical sciences AND transporter tech, they could likely just add/remove the wings on the fly (pun intended).

@@marktaylor6553 For Star Trek Adventures (consulting with Aaron Waltke) we had this: "The Novolare, a flightless subspecies of Aurelians, are well suited for Starfleet, suffering claustrophobia far less than their winged counterparts. In the 2270s, only a few winged Aurelians had joined Starfleet, with most preferring postings on planets or starbases with open spaces." The thought was there was a continent which kind of like an Australia, developed it's own unique ecosystem and unlike Australia there were very few natural predators. The rest of the planet was full of them! So while the majority of the Aurelian's evolved to have wings to escape those predators, this sub-species did not.

@@GeekFilter I'm not a big fan of grossly divergent intelligent species evolving on the same world (It just wouldn't happen). I realize what you propose makes more sense in that the two would have a common ancestor, but I'm not even a fan of the Andorian sub-species. I prefer Occam's razor - the simplest solution works best (when i write - I also develop game products). If Picard can turn himself into an alien 'Devil' using the transporter, anyone can basically look any way they want, without surgery (making several episodes of ST where they had to be 'medically altered' nonsensical).

"A giant earthquake isn't going to plunge California into the ocean." You say that, but uh...it has happened in the past 😅. There's ruins underwater in the UK and Greece of coastal towns that sank into the sea due to heavy stormy weather, massive landslides, and earthquakes. And at least one of the ice ages is believed to have been caused by an glacial ice shelf being shifted loose by an earthquake before making its way over North America.

Although your videos are always great this one had been really fun. The animated series doesn't really fit into canon but, by its very nature, it had to be a out there and attention grabbing. I also love the fact that Lower Decks references all other Treks, including this. I really love Lower Decks and can only see it as a compliment. Lastly, I love how you reference real-world physics or biology. It gives so much depth to things that could simply be taken at face value.

The unseen bug people could easily be from a world of higher atmospheric density. It's like jumping in the water, the water supports your weight, a thicker atmosphere means they could be larger without taking other things into consideration, slightly lower gravity, or simply evolving a way to support the weight not found on earth, being a lower density with a larger volume thus not needing to support as much weight. Like birds on earth having lighter bones and generally lighter frames. They could also have a combination of an exo and endo skeleton , there's no reason to assume an alien life form would automatically have to fall into either category exclusively. There are several "realistic" scenarios that could explain giant bug aliens. If they came from Titan they could probably be 50 feet tall just made of the same stuff earth bugs are, you have both a low gravity compared to earth and a higher atmospheric pressure.

15:30 : Its kind of funny, because some people who believe in the 'Biblical Flood' have said that it was a worldwide earthquake that broke the crust of the Earth, releasing hidden stores of water to the surface, thus Noah's Flood 😅 Also, on the 'Vendorians': I remember reading the novel that was based on the episode where one first appeared (yes, I'm THAT old 😏) As I recall, in the episode he said that he transformed himself into the shields for the Enterprise, when he had disabled them earlier. In the novel, it was stated that he actually transformed himself into the vital circuitry/wiring/whatever to replaced what he had torn out/destroyed, which makes more sense then him turning into an actual 'energy' form to become shielding. On "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth': Although it did embrace the 'Ancient Aliens' concept that was big at the time (same as Marvel's "The Eternals"), it was co-written by a Native American, Russle Bates, and had I think the only appearance of a Native American crew member before Chaktoy, Ensign Walking Bear.

*Theory:* Insects in particular tend to vary greatly in size even within a specific species, and especially where gender is concerned. If applied to a space-born species like those 'ancients', they could have had several castes, with queens being extremely large, and thus their architecture would have to allow for the large queen to go wherever she wanted. A good example of this in Scify are the Xenomorphs.

So glad this made it as a video. As a He-Man/She-Ra and HannaBarberra fan, I actually love the shoestring look of the show. That and the reuse of animations over and over adds to the unintentional humour and delightfully sleazy look of the show. But if you look beyond that, a lot of TAS is excellent Star Trek and I credit it for keeping ST involved in pop culture during one of the times where Treks future was not looking great. Some of the voice acting and character designs are so bad you have to wonder what the creators were on while making it, but i consider it part of the charm. If you've enjoyed stuff like Space Ghost or Sealab, you will love this.

Controversial opinion, but I choose to believe that TAS isn't year 4 and 5 of the TOS 5 year mission, I like to think that TAS runs concurrently with TOS and that together they represent a decent cross section of the 5 year mission. The only supporting evidence for this is that I believe Yesteryear works better as a direct sequel to City on the edge of forever rather than assuming that the Enterprise came back years later for some casual timetravel shenanigans. I mean, she's suposed to be out there exploring, revisiting planets is a job for lesser crews. But my main interest is that it allows for characters like Arex and M'ress to have been on the ship during the TOS run, simply unseen serving at other stations. Like we have mostly assumed was the case for Checkov in Space Seed. This means that if in the future, writers want to tell stories set between the episodes of TOS/TAS they have the liberty to use these characters without having to write awkward dialog to soothe the more irritable parts of the Fandom.

They just let loose with TAS, so many one off aliens that sadly not seen after, like the Ursinoids from Mudd's passion, like 5 frames of screen time. Think they were going for even more when the Motion Picture came out, and then sadly with TNG and the ones after they really dialed back to just forehead/nose appliance aliens. Voyager started getting back there with the Voth and now Strange New Worlds revisited the Gorn, but definitely a dry spell for variety when they 'no masks' mandate was issued.

Grasshoppers have two sets of wings, but they are not modified limbs like in birds and bats. Insect wings are a very different structure and not really analogous to a limb.

TAS migh have not been the best or even good series, but it took full advantage of the fact that it was animated.

@MaskedMan66 People are free to join the discussion and reply to your original post, sure. It's just that, you have to admit, when the video is titled the way it's titled, and you phrased your comment the way you did, it came off as incredibly confusing and out-of-the-blue

@@OrangeRiver That sounds to easy. There has to be more to it than that! Also, Edward Jellico was the best captains in the fleet!!! People that are in charge should never let anyone have time off to eat or sleep! Being on a starship is not a vacation.

Do you really think Tendi is the best Star Trek character? Because somehow that just seems disrespectful to Trek.
