In a wondeful animated homage to the iconic Star Trek universe, “Skin of a Cat” marks the inaugural episode of “Very Short Treks,” a new series paying tribute to Star Trek: The Animated Series on its 50th anniversary.

On the USS Enterprise, Captain Kirk’s use of old Earth idioms completely derails their defense plan during an attack. The diverse bridge crew, a hallmark of Starfleet’s future, is offended by Kirk’s words, more than he realizes.

This episode was created by Casper Kelly of “Too Many Cooks” fame. We’ll make sure to post the new episodes when they come out, so stay tuned for more nostalgia and fun!
