Although I consider myself a fan, I've only seen two or three of the
animated episodes. I've started watching them (actually taping them) on
USA Network, so my reactions are fresh.
I saw "The Lorelei Effect" this weekend and was kind of surprised by the
ending. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty had aged rapidly, a la "The
Deadly Years" and they couldn't find a way to reverse it. They ended up
using the transporter to reconstruct themselves according to their old
patterns, which were stored in the transporter.
I know that this can of worms is one that we don't want to open again,
but I think that it's interesting that they actually did what we
discussed they could do.

That is interesting. I seem to recall that our discussion concluded that it would be unlikely that the transporter could do that. Moving on... Did the animated episodes have the same writers as the regular TV show?
