    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Some of the shots of Earth, shown to Spock on a computer screen as he is melding with the cloud intelligence, were taken from stock footage of Lassie's Rescue Rangers (1973), a Filmation TV show simultaneous in production. The scenes that came from the Lassie show feature children running with a dog.

      When Commodore Wesley appears on the computer monitor in Kirk's quarters, Wesley's shoulder is visible on another, separate view screen right next to him.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Spock: Captain, I have completed the analysis of the target area. Unfortunately, the brain is so vast, our entire offensive armament will not assure its destruction; however, the brain could be completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy aimed at the brain's cortex and expend the energy in one mortal strike.

      Doctor McCoy: That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship.

      Mr. Spock: I believe that is what I just said, Doctor.

    5/10
    Rather familiar but with a totally silly ending.
    This episode of the animated "Star Trek" is very reminiscent of several other Trek episodes--particularly "The Doomsday Machine" and especially "The Immunity Syndrome". Because of its familiarity, Trekkies will probably like it since it seems much more like a real Trek show than the previous episodes. On the other hand, it's not exactly original and the ending is pretty stupid.

    There's a planet-eating cloud in space. It's going to eat Mantilles and kill millions unless the Enterprise can stop it. But there is a problem--the Prime Directive doesn't want Federation craft killing other life--and the cloud is alive! So what will they do? Yup-- call on Spock to do a mild meld with this thingie and ask it to leave, of course! You just have to see this part of the show--it's unintentionally funny.

    I gave this one a 5 because like all these cartoons, the animation totally sucks and the story idea not exactly original.
