Some Violence?


Although Star Trek The Animated Series had no violence what would of Star Trek The Animated Series be like just with a little violence.

Could of NBC prevented Gene Roddenberry from approving scripts that would be a live action show with just a little violence in it?

reply

The animated series did have some violence, although since the show was aired in 1973-74, the violence was tame by today's standards. In "Yesteryear," there was an animal fight that resulted in the death of a pet. In "The Slaver Weapon," some aliens were blown to smithereens by a bomb (the explosion was shown, then a big crater where the aliens had been standing).

With Star Trek The Animated series be a mourning Saturday cartoon do you think that a they could shoot off their stun guns which will be set to stun or kill and have the enterprise shoot off phasers and fire torpodeos to explode ships?

In "More Tribbles, More Troubles" there was a spaceship battle between the Enterprise and a Klingon ship, and in "Beyond the Farthest Star" the Enterprise (while under alien control) used its phasers to destroy an alien ship. The ship didn't explode, but was disintegrated the way a person would be disintegrated when hit by a hand phaser set on kill.
