“Now we know!” “And knowing is half the battle.”

I wish I can find all the TAS PSAs. This show had great morals. Lower Decks can never hold a candle to this wonderful family aimed show.

"Once enough people started pointing out pollution, the pollution stopped." 😂 Oh, Spock. Bless your naive halfbreed heart.

Thankyou!!

Beautiful! These should have been included on the DVD set.

Yeah, unfortunately they didn’t get the point.

If you wan to skip the pre-show, content begins at 3:58 mark

Prefer ‘Keep America Beautiful’ instead of the joke of other acronym

The flyby of the Enterprise bridge at the beginning mimics the F/X shot in the original episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" when they are flying into the energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy. It's one of my favorite shots of the Enterprise. - Recently watched that episode and the modern digital effects version took that show out completely and used a very crappy and boring flyby. I was incensed - I hate that many of the old ship movements were not replicated with new CGI, but instead replaced with dumb views of the ship that don't help tell the story at all.

This has got to be the most optimistic thing I've ever seen in my life.

One of the best anime ever. The remake when? Looooooooooooooollllll 😂😂😂

Nice memories. Thanks. Once upon a time, being the IP holder gave absolute power over a franchise. That day is done. If the IP holder insists on not bringing out new content or bringing out garbage content, we can now make our own. I invite all my fellow Trekkers to enjoy another unauthorized novel completely free. Just google Star Trek Lost Destiny Race.

You have not restored this, you have absolutely destroyed it, why the hell have you De noised the audio?? Can you not hear how goddamn watery and bad it sounds?? . It was never clear to begin with, and always had a fuzzy sound to it, that’s how optical film audio is.

🖖

I like how the start to focus in on Spock's ear when Kirk said "People finally got the point." LOL. Hey it *was* just after First Contact with the Vukcans that we started to...um...*clean up*...our act. What I want to know why there is a big ring of garbage flying around the galaxy - and at warp 6 to boot!? And who made it!? Did the Federation have a poluting past!? And if the polution went away, or it just magically stopped - why the trash ring!? Can't they organize a Spacewayside clean up!? Get the Space Scouts or Spsce Kiwanis to help...

Makes me wonder how they might have addressed warming.

No, people never got the point. :(

Wow. That's fantastic. I'm sure I may have seen this but, that's like half a century ago. So, I'm a little fuzzy. 🙃 ✌🖖

I love these animated episodes. When I was a teen I wasn't allowed to watch TV (my parents are nuts) but I risked watching 1 show, TOS.

But why is the pollution traveling at warp 6?

Tell me again how "Nu Trek" is soooo political.

Old enough to remember! I became a left wing socialist and environmentalist!

If only. 😥

That wasn't just garbage moving at warp 6, that was a "pollution belt" -- like the asteroid belt but moving independently thru space at warp 6, over 200 times the speed of light. And even so the chances of Enterprise encountering it are infinitesimal, not to mention its completely negligible impact on the universe. Of course, it would also likely be on the charts, like our big plastic patch in the Pacific.

Arex had three arms to pick up the trash.

No. No they did not.

Unless you're pointing out China or India. Then pointing out pollution is racist.

Yes, “pointing out.” That’s right up there with “thoughts and prayers” as an effective response.

I had forgotten how superb the quality of animation on that Saturday morning show was. Such lifelike facial features!

OMG I remember this! Thanks for the memory!

Oh, if ONLY that were true!

dint work our future is more zager and evans than roddenberry imo

except no they didnt stop because like the malon, it was all about shot turn profits

*spoilers no one here got the point.

(50 years later) Noooooooot so much.

I remember seeing this ad on TV.

Still better than all Nu Trek

I've been pointing out pollution for 40 years, and they _still_ keep pouring liquid asbestos into my swimming pool.

I forget the episode title off-hand but the footage seems to be from the episode where they find a starship "sargasso sea" debris group. It's a form of recycling.

To be fair, this goes right along with Roddenberry's polly-anna optimism. It reminds me of the time on Enterprise when a member of the crew is patronizingly explaining to a member of an alien species that they just met how humans used to be stupid racists like they were, but then they finally realized it was bad and then just...stopped being racist. Basically, "Gee, you dumb alien! You should stop being prejudiced like we did." Because, apparently, human nature isn't a thing. Also, I think some non-humanoid species in and around the Federation might beg to differ regarding humanity's supposed complete success in evolving past prejudice and discrimination. And even among more "humanoid" species, there were obviously never any Starfleet officers who developed an innate dislike and distrust of Klingons...right? "People were morons until someone told them that filling the world around them with garbage was bad...then we got better!" 🤦‍♂️

Space Garbage travels at warp 6? Who needs Dilithium crystals when you could harness the power of garbage

Damn that faster than light pollution. Warp 6 garbage?

This strikes a memory cord with me

That pollution was moving at Warp 6?

Now if I had seen this as a kid I would not have thrown trash out of my car window while I was driving in the 80's as a teenager !

"....I never met her I never knew her she was killed by SPACE JUNK!...." - DeVo.

More like public disservice. The corporations that made polluting power rather than clean power had much greater influence than any number of individuals.

No Jim, they did not.

Hopefully they’ll save a whale from the pacific garbage patch

Thank you!
