Animated STAR TREK Short "The Element of Surprise"

[Ceaaa22]

Yeah, I'd trust an alien in a yellow turtleneck. 

[BrooklynChivalry]

Very Good, in both style and content!

I am impressed, You have successfully adapted the entire Filmation template in these productions, Lou Scheimer would be proud!

[DrejStinger1986]

What species is the gray character?

[CHDanhauser]

@DrejStinger1986 Ambassador Trelling, the purple-skinned woman, is a new species I created. She is a Pentaran precog from the planet Vix Pentari.

[DrejStinger1986]

@CHDanhauser Oh...my mistake; thought she was gray. Pip-pip, carry on.

[supressorgrid]

@DrejStinger1986 That would be an Earlgray from the planet Darjeeling.

[DrejStinger1986]

@supressorgrid LOL! Very humorous tea reference! Coincidentally, Jean-Luc Picard likes Earl Grey tea; hot, of course.

Old writer's addage: show, don't tell.  Too much telling, not enough showing.

[Steve17010]

The ambassador talks too much.

[Darkwintre]

Da*n! Sorry but that was jaw dropping!

Thanks for this upload, now I wonder if they could do a new animated series?

[DrejStinger1986]

@Darkwintre I'm starting a series of written stories based around a new animated series. Would you like to subscribe to my account so I can send them to you?

[jambec144]

Re-dubbed for some reason?

[CHDanhauser]

@jambec144 Not dubbed or re-dubbed. All new animation using the characters and backgrounds from the animated series speaking new lines telling a new story.

ambassador trilling: attention whore. she did like a 3:00 monologue.

[khentoumi]

Very faithful! Slow & stiff, just like the original cartoon--heheh.

[RADIXCHRISTUSMOLE]

What's with the voices? Scotty sounds like he has a soar throat. I know that the original cast did the voices for the animated series, but this doesn't sound like them.

[cmg4life2008]

AMAGASH sooo funny XD

[Elephantintheroom01]

Great, they stopped the course of democracy.

Not that democracy is anything to get wild about, 49/51 votes and first past the post, as well as the funds needed to form a party can only come from rich investors who put their own interests before that of liberty.

[CHDanhauser]

@Elephantintheroom01 Actually, they saved the ambassador's life by not falling into the ambush - so that he can live to usher in the reforms that include democracy.

[torchwoody58]

@Elephantintheroom01 ummm.....it's a cartoon. Go kick O'Reilly on the Fox news site.

[SpeaksTooSoon]

The lady's prediction sounds like a real good TOS episode.
