Star Trek: Very Short Treks
{1.5/5} Star Trek: Very Short Treks, aired in 2023
This is a series of 5 short animated videos that were made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Animated Series. Three of them will make you frown and two will make you smile. The 1st 3 videos are all distasteful in different ways.
Since they’re very short, they’re all jokes or surprises. They are not canon, though — they’re not stories that could actually take place.
“Holograms, All the Way Down” and “Walk, Don’t Run” are the ones that are watchable — they are silly but at least they remind you of the real Star Trek shows. Whatever you do, please do not watch “Worst Contact” — it is disgusting.
When you do something different you’re not going to please everyone — this did not please me. Although 2 of 5 videos are watchable, a better idea would have been to make more Short Treks — with real Star Trek stories.
If you’re going to do something that’s funny that’s fine, but it should be in the spirit of Star Trek — on the whole, this missed that mark.
A bunch of actors reprised their roles including George Takei, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, and Armin Shimerman.
