That was indeed a rare privilege. I could honestly say I loved my job at the Official Fan Club. Like a kid in the candy store. Didn't know it would earn me a promotion later on in other areas. |

I will send you the bill. BTW it's a terrific series. There were a lot of familiar storylines within the episodes. Several of them resurface in TNG, VOY and DS9. I think the reference to Robert April was suppose to be the start of a new spin off. McCoy mentioned having a daughter in "The Survivor." Maybe it was an aborted start toward revealing more of Scotty's Uhura's and Sulu's family backgrounds?

^^^ And we see a prototype of the holodeck concept in TAS.

Digi, thanks for mentioning some of those things. I think there is a lot in TAS that should somehow be shoehorned into canon. McCoy's daughter being one. Although I am not certain about whether including April was in hopes of a spin-off (I always thought he dated back to one of Roddenberry's earliest versions of the Trek story before it made it to the camera stage... :shrug:) |

Sir Swidden, TAS is already canon. I have forseen it.

Broke down and bought myself another Christmas present or as so I like to justify my puchases lately. I got TAS at Target. I'll start watching it tonight. |

^^^ I don't know if you've watched it before, but I'm sure you'll like it. It was sent from heaven during those dark days after the cancellation of the show. |

How soon after the cancellation did the animated series air and was it on Saturday mornings like all cartoons used to be back then? I noticed all the original actors lent their voice to the animated series. It was a little eerie watching ST in animation but I got used to it after a while. |

^^^ TAS began airing in 1972, and yes it was on Saturday mornings. To me it remains one the last really intelligently written cartoons. |
