This week, we’re continuing our “Back-Trekking Retrospective” series by diving into TAS once again! Joining Fatheree and Taylor is Aaron Harvey, co-author of The Official Guide to Star Trek: The Animated Series. Together, the trio explore the episode “The Practical Joker,” a surprisingly influential entry that may contain the very first appearance of holodeck technology in Star Trek. With STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3 on the horizon—and trailers teasing a 23rd-century version of the holodeck—this TAS classic might be more relevant than ever. Come for the rogue computer hijinks, stay for the deep Trek connections!
As always, available in both video and audio-only formats.
