All five stars, Trek, which are classified from worse to the best

As of the writing of these lines, there were five animations in the “Star Trek” year. The first was also named as “Star Trek” (although it is now known as “Star Trek: The Animated Series”), and most of the 1966 original show team (Walter Koenig) was excluded, as it continued where the original series stopped. It was operated for two seasons in 1973 and 1974. Some Trekkies is only partially old, and films and subsequent shows are contradictory to what you have presented. However, this was the first time that Trekkies learned that “T” in “James T. Kirk” stood up to “Tiberius”.

The second animated series “Star Trek” was not launched until 2020, after the concession moved to Paramount+. “Star Trek: Lower Decks” was a 30 -minute comic play “Star Trek”, shortly after the “Star Trek: Voyager” events. This show lasted five successful seasons before approaching the end of 2024. While the “lower floors” were in production, Paramount also launched “Star Trek: Prodigy”, a series of CGI-THEMATED produced by Nickelodeon. This offer was supposed to be more suitable for children than other “Star Trek” shows, and was distinguished by a group of adolescent characters. This offer lasted two seasons, spread over 2021 and 2024.

As for the other “Star Trek” shows, there may be some debate about their classification. The series of “Short Treks” gap continued for two seasons from 2018 to 2020, and as the title suggests, short and independent stories were built within the world of the trip. Two short pants were moved in the second season of the exhibition, so that the animation chain itself may be considered itself. “Short trips”, in turn, gave birth to the comprehensive series “Very Short Flights”, a new chain of anthology of short, non -short, non -ecclesiastical cartoons. This series ran for five episodes in 2023.

How do you arrange these mobile offers? Let’s slide into the judge’s Erd and make some difficult calls.

“Very Short Flights” series It was created by Casper Kelly, the mastermind behind “Stroker and Hoop”, “A lot of chefs”, and the Goblin Goblin sequence from “Mandy”. Kelly clearly has a feeling of twisted humor, and his delivery of “Star Trek” is similar to delivering a handkerchief to the suffering of hay fever and then asked them not to get any mucus. Of course, Kelly created one of the most mysterious “Star Trek” projects, and has mocked the franchise unabated, and did so with the participation of many members of the different work team in the exhibition.

The idea behind “Treks Short Treks” was the honor of “Star Trek: The Animated Series”, which reached 50 in 2023. Kelly moved all its shower in the style of “Sirophatuated Series”, which was produced by the famous Lou Scheimer Film Studio per day. However, it is clear that Kelly was not interested in the traditional “Star Trek” stories about exploration and diplomacy, and was not interested in conducting small personal studies of well -known Starfleet characters. Instead, foreigners invented the underwear heads. He made a type he considered polite to wipe Bogers on visiting union officers. He invented a figure called the donkey.

Certainly, “Star Trek” can stand some disgrace, as her main characters tend to be Khanaqin diplomats, super, wearing uniform clothes. Good knows that I love a good Boger joke or a donkey’s face. But I don’t know what this is. He knows enough “Star Trek” to make internal jokes, but it seems that he hates the series as well. One may say that “very short trips” everywhere is fun, but this will only be true if it is fun.

When “short trips” appeared in October 2018, it appears to have a mercenary job. At that time, the first season of “Star Trek: Discovery” just ended, and his second season planned until January the next. CBS All Access (not yet named Paramount+) clearly wanted to keep subscribers on the hook until then, so the network apparently rushed “short trips” to production, and a short now every few weeks, completely far away enough to keep the monthly subscription fees renew. It is clear that the short pants were very low, most of which were often photographed on empty “discovery” groups, usually with a few actors on hand.

Few short pants are the most prominent, and they haven’t really become creative until later in the show race. In the second season, “short trips” played her first animation, called “Ephraim and Dot”, directed by the famous composer Michael Jiakino. Al -Qusayr follows the adventures of Ephraim, which is a spatial spatial Tardadias, as it infiltrated the small tunnels in the body of the USS. It was followed by a reform drone, which is aimed at removing it. Thanks to some glimpses through the gates, Ephraim was inside the institution during the events of “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and “Star Trek III: The Search to Spock”.

The second official episode of “Short Flights” was called “The Girl, which made the stars”, and was directed by Trek Olatunde Osunsanmi. This was about a young Michael Bornham (the main character of “Discovery”) listening to an ancient African popular story narrated by her father. It has nothing to do with “Star Trek” and it is only fine.

In fact, most “short trips” are just well. Despite the appropriate moments of ambition, she always felt a little mercenaries, and was done for financial reasons instead of those creative. He had nothing like “Liquid TV”, and did not add importance to Trek Canon. You can skip it.

The besieged “Star Trek” It was badly canceled while its second season was under production, and it decreased inactive from Paramount+ completely. The offer was eventually chosen by Netflix, which broadcast its second season, but many Trekkies asked about the cause of “Prodigy” this harsh treatment. Was the animation CGI? Was that because it was broadcast by the friend Nickelodeon for children? Were the lengthy story arches? It is difficult to say.

It could have been because “Prodigy” began in a very non -“Star Trek” place. At the beginning of the series, the main characters – a group of fugitive teenage slaves – have not heard of Starfleet before, and Starfleet did not come across. In the first few episodes, they find an abandoned ship called USS Protostar, and its disease, and is directed on how to use it by Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) from USS Voyageer. Despite the “Star Trek” icons, the bad guys and movement made “Prodigy” similar to “Star Wars”.

Over the course of this series, the teenage fugitives – which work at the request of Holgram Janeway – began to think about themselves as a group that had to work together and employ their personal experience in creative ways. By the end of the first season, they were all in Starfleet on the ground, happy that they had overcome their dark past. “Star Trek”, arguing the exhibition, is better than “Star Wars”.

The second season was a more detailed story about traveling through time, recovery of the protestar from the wicked, and the unification of many familiar old faces. The show looks fragile at first, but soon it becomes very cool. It does not deserve its fate.

If one of them dares in particular, one can rank “Star Trek: The Animated Series” is higher than the original “Star Trek” series. Jin Roddinbury Ashraf Ashraf, and many of the original showers returned, this time inappropriate for the boundaries of the living special effects. The moving average of the exhibition suddenly allowed “Star Trek” to become a truly stranger, characterized by impossible copies, foreigners with multiple ends, underwater rings, and visiting to the planet where Satan lives (yes, truly). Also, since the series was only 30 minutes (unlike the annoying of the original time for one hour), the book had to be more efficient in telling stories, allowing conspiracies to reveal naturally and informed. Some may find the next statement heretical, but there were less strange personal things.

The biggest problems in the “Animation Series” are that they cut the corners as possible, leaving a lot of steady and boring animation. There are many extremist close to the faces of characters, as their mouths move only. The backgrounds are remarkably reused, and the same three sermon can be heard over and over again. The “Animation Series” can become creative with foreigners and pictures, but it really didn’t move much.

However, writing was sharp, and many episodes dealt with cheerful topics and strange science fiction ideas just like the original “Star Trek”. In the last two years, the two seasons on the US Enterprise mission for five years-which took only eight years to complete it.

Before its release in 2020, “Star Trek: Lower Decks” started on the wrong foot. She sold herself as a comedy version of “Star Trek”, which was not what Trekkies wanted at that time. You cannot undermine the seriousness of your concession from the inside, Paramount. This was the mission of the satirical. Indeed, the first episode of the “lower floors” was not very good, as they stressed “Family Guy”, similar to humor in the world of “Star Trek”. Things did not herald a good.

But then, the “lower floors” reached their feet and set out in the enemy’s race. Its hypothesis was new, as it was a series of officers who appreciated its value with less than its value on a championship, who have all the functions of nonsense. In addition, this happened on the unimportant Starfleet, USS Cerritos, which has never been interested in terribly important tasks. “Star Trek” is a vast world that is subject to a complex bureaucracy and a fleet of necrosis workers, all of whom are required to ensure Utopia’s achievement. For the fourth, he does not always feel that he is Utopia. Sometimes you seem to have a *** TY job.

The brilliance of the “lower floors” came, although its main characters began to grow. The flag Bikit Mariner (Tawny Newsome) liked people to think about it as a super -rules owner, but in the end she was interrogated about her behavior, and she reveals some dangerous insecurity at work. The series develops naturally, with remembering that these people have terrible functions and run the “next generation” characters. It is one of the best trips of all of them.
