- We came across this classic 1970's "Star Trek: The Animated Series" public service announcement (PSA), but it was in pretty bad shape. The colors were faded and the audio sounded like it had been recorded on a defective tricorder. Not cool! The Topic is Trek team gave it some love, restoring a bit of the magic, so you can enjoy this oddity a little bit more.

What this PSA needs is Spock with a solitary tear at the end.
Obligatory 💀💀💀
So, not so much Iron Eyes Cody as Pointy Ears Nimoy?
Yes like the 70s PSA with the Native American who turned out to be Italian. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@saint-g7449 Yeah, the only way they could get Iron Eyes Cody to cry for the PSA was to put pineapple on a pizza in front of him. 🍍🍕
Now that's Italian.
"The people that made the pollution were so profitable at doing it that they bought news media to say pollution isn't a big deal. Then they bought politicians to allow themselves to pollute as much as they wanted."
"They sure created alot of shareholder value, didn't they?"
Yes Mister Spock, people finally rolled over and showed their bellies.
Sounds like the Ferengi version.
We tried to find the original through the “Keep America Beautiful“ nonprofit but we never managed to get anybody to respond. I think this is as good as we’re going to get it!
Agreed. The one they have on their CZcams Channel is pretty rough.
@@thetopicistrek Wait... so you're saying that the radical left Democrats used the necromancy at CERN to alter the timeline of the past so that our beloved _Star Trek_ was made... I can barely bring myself to say it... WOKE??!?!?!?!!!!!!!!
It was the damn Empire from that other galaxy, always leaving their garbage behind when they go into light speed.
Harry Mudd flying around the galaxy tossing his styrofoam coffee cups out of the window.
I think a coffee cup would be the tamest thing ol Harry would throw out his window.
ERM ACTUALLY THE OPEN WINDOW WOULD MEAN HE WOULD GET SUCKED OUT INTO SPACE AND FREEZE AND DIE 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
And it's moving at WARP 6???
"...the pollution stopped." Hmm. I call no way.
Because you know the 23rd century so well.
Get it!?! Points,... huh...get it...get it...Spock's ears, get it...get the point!
People make fun of PSA's but they worked for us.
Did they though?
@@Reggie1408 WE didnt eat the equivalent of tide pods or jump through peoples fences like the fools that watch tik tok are doing. We didnt stand on the edges of cliffs for selfies and fall off or start fight with people and call it "pranks" so yeah, they worked for us. .
@@Reggie1408 I doubt I would have completely avoided drugs in my youth without that frying pan egg.
Anti-Drunk driving and pro-seat belt PSAs certainly worked, but litter and trash still rule.
"Pollution " in space is called, salvage.
Well done - now hit the theme boys!
Kids, instead of nagging your parents about sugar cereals or toys, nag them about pollution!
Me: Hey look everyone.......pollution.......stop it.. Government and industry:........OK. Also interesting theres a whole area of space pollution in the Alpha Quadrant before the discovery of the Malon by Voyager.
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.
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 !
Omg, great find!!!
Beautiful! These should have been included on the DVD set.
Space Garbage travels at warp 6? Who needs Dilithium crystals when you could harness the power of garbage
This strikes a memory cord with me
It was the logical thing to do.
That pollution was moving at Warp 6?
This has got to be the most optimistic thing I've ever seen in my life.
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.
How does pollution move at Warp 6?
In an advertisement everything is possible. :-) Writers of this ad obviously didn't read the Star Trek Writer's guide.
Arex had three arms to pick up the trash.
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.
HA!!!
OMG I remember this! Thanks for the memory!
No Jim, they did not.
Thank you!
I've been pointing out pollution for 40 years, and they _still_ keep pouring liquid asbestos into my swimming pool.
I had forgotten how superb the quality of animation on that Saturday morning show was. Such lifelike facial features!
Most impressive.
"....I never met her I never knew her she was killed by SPACE JUNK!...." - DeVo.
Damn that faster than light pollution. Warp 6 garbage?
Thankyou!!
Hopefully they’ll save a whale from the pacific garbage patch
Now, if they can only find the girl scout one.
What about that Native American man with the tear going down his face too?
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...
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. 🙃
✌🖖
Beautiful! 👏
Yeah, beautiful that they stopped adding to the pollution, but took NO effort to clean it up even after CENTURIES.
Very enlightened.
@@Voodoomaria I meant the quality of the restoration 😭
@@ExtraCheeseProject Oh yes, It's great, goes without saying.
But PSA'a out of this era always had trouble making their point without raising far more issues than they addressed.
It just showed how detached from the problems the people making them were.
A high quality of cringe is still cringe.
@@Voodoomaria Well the whole 'Keep America Beautiful' organization is a crock anyway. You can clean up the river all you want, but if the big corporation insists* on dumping upstream, something something Sisyphus.
@@ExtraCheeseProject True, but the PSA's always presented an simplistic and frankly childish view of the issues, like you solved the problem by picking up a few discarded newspapers.
Newspapers, you can see them, even if they ARE biodegradable [although the toxins in the inks were not] The REAL problems were the lead in fossil fuels in the atmosphere, and the mercury ending up in the marine food chain.
Never mind the litter on the highways, the First Nations man's eyes were watering from the car exhausts.
(50 years later) Noooooooot so much.
I remember seeing this ad on TV.
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.
🖖
Makes me wonder how they might have addressed warming.
Oh, if ONLY that were true!
But why is the pollution traveling at warp 6?
Because it tried to travel at warp 10 and momentarily turned into salamander pollution. Nobody wants that!
If only. 😥
One of the best anime ever. The remake when? Looooooooooooooollllll 😂😂😂
Warp 6 capable garbage patch? WTF? just because you blew up the "Rombian" fleet doesnt mean it will ever stop moving? wow
Newton's first law.
@@davidwuhrer6704 Actually, according to Newton's first law, if you destroy a ship moving at warp speed, then the debris immediately stops. That's because Warp speed is not a movement in Newtonian sense. Warp speed is about bending space around a ship and shifting that space across the universe. So there is no ordinary movement. The only inertia of that debris would be from the explosion itself. But that would be way below the speed of light.
So, yes, that sentence about garbage moving at warp 6 was really a nonsense.
@@Lukas-Trnka To the best of my knowledge, _Star Trek_ never defined how warp speed works. The interpretation that the warp engine is a kind of Alcubierre drive is as recent as Alcubierre's hypothesis, which was not around yet when TAS was made.
Another interpretation is that the warp factor is the inverse of the Lorentz transformation.
@@Lukas-Trnka
They talk about sub-space, which like hyper space, I assume is some alternate dimension of travel. So no idea if Newtonian physics even applies there.
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.
Yeah, like science n stuff…
except no they didnt stop because like the malon, it was all about shot turn profits
dint work
our future is more zager and evans than roddenberry imo
No, people never got the point. :(
Yeah, unfortunately they didn’t get the point.
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!"
🤦♂️
It's actually a belief of Marx's. Change the environment and human nature will change. It is a central tenet of communism. The Soviets called the theory the "New Soviet Man". As people starved in China, the govt. painted murals of children dancing together under rocketships and space stations. The Federation no longer uses money either they use credits...social credits?
Roddenberry's opposition to racism is laudable, but he was an absolute woman hater and, judging from Grace Lee Whitney's writings, he was a sex abuser.
*spoilers no one here got the point.
Prefer ‘Keep America Beautiful’ instead of the joke of other acronym
Unless you're pointing out China or India. Then pointing out pollution is racist.
Still better than all Nu Trek
I haven't seen the latest season yet, but so far I like 'Lower Decks'.
@@stephenroot1012 I'm glad. It's not for me but I'm not as offended by it as the rest of the new stuff.
@@stephenroot1012 Yeah, I'm really enjoying Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. Both seem to be run by people who appreciate Classic Trek.
Wow... what a completely unique and fresh take. Thank you for your nuanced comment that constructively adds to the discussion.
@@BillBinder is that to me, Stephen, Aimee or all? 🤔
JUNK
No. No they did not.
More like public disservice. The corporations that made polluting power rather than clean power had much greater influence than any number of individuals.
Yes, “pointing out.” That’s right up there with “thoughts and prayers” as an effective response.
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.
Tell me again how "Nu Trek" is soooo political.
Old enough to remember! I became a left wing socialist and environmentalist!
What a damn joke. 2023 and everyone reading this has enough microplastics in their body to shorten their lifespans dramatically, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've ruined this world.
