User Reviews

Cool Show; One episode is based entirely on Star Trek

This is a cool series that takes old characters and uses them to spoof Alien, TNG/VOY, and countless other sci-fi shows. The animation is well done, and the voices are true to the characters.

I think that it is great for older kids and adults because of some of the inside jokes that may confuse. However, if you know a bit about popular culture, you will see lots of cool gags and references to modern TV and film. I especially like the design of ships, as the earth ships are very classically styled and the Martian ships are kind of like Akira class vessels from Star Trek.

The episode "The Fudd" is based on the concept of the Borg from Star Trek in every way. It was cool to see Trek being used in such a funny way.
