Another fun episode.. I haven't seen any of the animated episodes so it's fun when you do a full episode commentary of these shows.

Speaking of Tribbles that was my first star trek episode.

Man, every time I hear the theme song for the animated series I am transported by to when I was a boy. There weren't a lot of cartoons I loved during that period, but I never missed the Trek cartoon. I recently bought the boxed set after you mention it was coming out last fall/winter Rico. It hasn't disappointed, in fact I got my daughter watching them with me.

Another great podcast Rico!

Excellent show Rico. I walked to work this morning and listened to it. I liked the book review, the news about Kirk and your commentary was right on!

Thanks for the great entertainment!

:D

I'm glad you're looking at the animated episodes. There's so little discussion of them (compared with all the other Trek series).
There was actually a fictional "Star Trek" novel published before "Spock Must Die". It was called "Mission to Horatius". It was aimed at more of a younger audience perhaps, but does predate "Spock Must Die".

Didn't think that "Mission to Horatius" was a regular novel. I thought it was one of those short kids book you order through school. Have to do some digging.

Well, as I mentioned it was aimed more at kids. It was not a comic book and was a couple of hundred pages long. Our local library as a copy, although I've never read it. In my book, I consider it the first "Trek" novel, although yes, it was aimed at maybe a different audience than "Spock Must Die". You can read a little about it and some of the other early Trek novels here:

I figured someone would point that out, and that is correct, it was published before any of the Bantam Books. Sorry if I mislead anyone, but to be honest I always thought of the Horatius book to be in a different classification then the early Bantam Books.
