Star Trek: The Animated Series

Beyond the Farthest Star - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While explosions occur aboard the alien ship, when the landing party is ready to beam back, the tricorders worn by McCoy and Spock are missing, though when all are beamed back aboard the Enterprise, McCoy and Spock are wearing their tricorders as they should be. (00:12:45)

Trivia: When the animated series was being voice-cast, the only original actors chosen were William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, James Doohan and Majel Barrett (Gene Roddenberry's wife). James Doohan was going to double as Chief Engineer Scott and as Lieutenant Sulu, as well as any needed additional male voices; Majel Barrett was going to perform several female voices including the Ship's Computer and Communications Officer Uhura. When Leonard Nimoy (Spock) learned about the casting choices, he threatened to quit the animated series unless original series actors George Takei and Nichelle Nichols were hired to play Sulu and Uhura. Nimoy's opinion carried a lot of weight, so Takei and Nichols were immediately hired.
