Edit also how could I forget what seems an inspiration of this episode MAS*H
Yes, definitely had a MASH vibe.

2x07: Wacky crossover with the comedy cartoon!
2x08: WAR IS HELL, NOBODY IS INNOCENT, MORALITY IS GREY, FORGIVENESS IS QUESTIONABLE, AND THE FRIENDLY DOCTOR MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DELIBERATELY KILLED A GUY IN COLD BLOOD
2x09: Musical!
Find you a show that can do both.
"We must personally attack Burrito Truck and his sanity." -The people behind SNW
I can only presume that you are currently doing "Those Old Scientists" but may die in the process.
Yep, they confirm it in Ready Room. Apparently Frakes' wife was dying from laughter watching the episode when that happened.
Let's face it: this isn't even in the top five strangest things to happen to a Starfleet vessel. Arguable if it's even in the top 10.
Still kind of hoping that one year they do a "Trials and Tribble-Ations" tribute episode where they go back to the Enterprise during TAS and splice in the LD guys in in the TAS style.
They could call it "Those Animated Scientists"
Thoughts and observations as I watched over at the "other place", special Saturday night/early Sunday morning edition:
- AHHHHH, WE'RE DOING THIS ON A SATURDAY!
- AHHHHH, WE'RE GETTING THE CROSSOVER!
- AHHHHH, A CROSSOVER BETWEEN A CARTOON COMEDY AND A LIVE ACTION DRAMA!
- AHHHHH, IN GENERAL!
- First off, that they have "Those Old Scientists" as the title is (chef's kiss).
- Previously: Nyota had a really bad day, La'An got a bad case of Kirk hotness, and Chapel/Spock had a bad case of hotness for each other
- OH GOD WE'RE STARTING ANIMATED
- "Numero Una"
- Tendi would like to remind you all that the Orions have a rich and varied history.
- "You guys look... very realistic."
- AHHHH, ANIMATED OPENING CREDITS!
- Hahaha, the thing that eats the Ceritos Nacelle!
- AHHHH, THE KOALA AT THE END OF THE CREDITS! WHY IS IT SMILING, WHAT DOES IT KNOW!?!?
- "But flipping it open is the best part"
- "Computer, end program."
- "Worf's honor." DANGIT!
- I wonder if Frakes showed Quaid how to properly do a Riker maneuver
- "You just... laughed."
- Ah, we're tying in with what Tendi said.
- Boimler is a toddler knocking over furniture.
- "We have jetpacks now"
- Pike's birthday is a holiday... CRAP!
- Boimler freaking out over the fact he made Spock laugh is such a Boimler thing.
- Hey, a reference to his sehlat!
- I like how they are using this episode to also move the other plotlines forward.
- HE MENTIONED PIKE'S REALLY GREAT HAIR
- Triticale, as opposed to Quadritriticale.
- I totally saw Mariner coming.
- Dystopian San Francisco!
- "Have you noticed their references are weirdly specific?"
- "Hot Spock agrees with me"
- "It's a poster that is pinned up"
- I feel like Tawny herself probably demanded a scene with Uhura
- Ah, there's the Boimler scream!
- "Holy Q!"
- "They had a Trelane thing going on."
- "He had to contour the hell out of the jawline"
- "Oh, I already know." Hahaha, they finally got out-future knowledged.
- Oh god, are they going to steal a piece of an NX?
- Oh, just a piece of it in the Enterprise.
- The "Mistress of the Winter Constellations" strikes again!
- Of course Ransom calls Una the hottest first officer in starfleet history.
- Hahaha, 2D animation Enterprise crew because they are drunk!
- All-time classic.
They also tied in to Tendi's story on LD (her constant reminding to people that Orions have a culture far beyond pirating), even though we didn't see her in Live Action.
I would not be opposed if episode five of every season of SNW involves Vulcan Hijinks.
Yes, I noticed that in your annotations over at... the other place. Interestingly enough, Roddenberry spoke at a memorial for Serling in 1975
My personal philosophy is DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION.
