With today being Star Trek Day and the theme being a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the classic animated series, it seemed like a "perfect storm" kind of day for the first animated spot from Star Trek: very Short Treks. The all-new series of promotional spots is done in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series, with the spots showing fan-favorite characters voiced by cast members from across the Star Trek universe. And that impressive voice cast includes Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Doug Jones as Saru, and Armin Shimerman as Quark. In addition, viewers can also look forward to hearing Ethan Peck as Spock, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Connor Trinneer as Trip Tucker, Bruce Horak as Hemmer, Noël Wells as Tendi, and the legendary George Takei as Sulu. And here's a look at the lineup: September 13 – "Holiday Party," September 20 – "Worst Contact," September 27 – "Holograms, All the Way Down," and October 4 – "Walk, Don't Run." But it all kicked off today with the release of "Skin a Cat" – with Peck (Spock), Pete Holmes (Captain), Cristina Milizia (Knickersonian, Dream Woman, M'Ress), Bonnie Gordon (Computer), and Eric Bauza (Antedian, Ass Face, Screwhead) offering a twistedly funny lesson in the importance of watching what you say. And then taking that lesson and going off in a direction we did not see coming…
