I’ve been pent up creatively for months now. I did, however, recently finally obtain the entirety of TAS. I’m hoping to make you all regret the day that I sailed.
Chekov, unless he’s the one taking the picture…
Poor Walter Koenig didn’t get to be on TAS, for some reason.
TAS was already the most expensive animated series at the time due to all the big names reprising their roles. They had to draw the line somewhere.
A ton of the other voices were done by James Doohan because he had a real talent for that. I wish he was more well-known for it.

As someone who has done a lot of character VO, that just blows me away. That’s Dawes Butler-level talent.
Edit: I was thinking about it just now. I never did a full season of a TV show or anything but the most characters I ever did for one project was six. Most of them were pirates. People think pirates mostly sound like Robert Newton in Treasure Island, or at least did before Johnny Depp, so coming up with five distinct pirate voices (plus a Chinese cook) was not easy. Also, I don’t think the game ever actually got released.
Can he fly it all by himself? Why the hell are all the others even on the bridge?!
There’s enough automation that the ship probably flies itself from A to B for the most part; you only need a pilot/navigator to start, end, and change course.
The rest of them are there for insurance purposes.
