Trivia
The council of Elysia includes an Orion woman, a Romulan, a Klingon, a creature that has bat-wing ears and looks like the original version of the Kzinti as they appeared in illustrations in Larry Niven's "Known Space" book franchise, an Andorian, an unknown insectoid race (possibly the inspiration for the Xindi-Insectoids from Star Trek: Enterprise (2001)), a Phylosian from The Infinite Vulcan (1973), an unidentified humanoid female wearing an environmental helmet, a Vulcan, a Tellarite, a human, and a Gorn.

Goofs
Sulu falls out of his chair, but at the very next change of camera angle (an overhead shot of the entire bridge) he is seen still sitting in his chair.

Quotes
Captain James T. Kirk: Are we in an alternate universe?
Devna: It is more aptly described as a pocket in the garment of time.

About average

Enterprise is fighting it out with a Klingon ship when they both pass into a Bermuda Triangle-like part of space--littered with stricken space ships and apparently none of them can escape. The beings from these ships comprise 123 races and rule over each other- -enforcing the niceness clause. However, instead of just accepting their fate, Kirk wants to try to escape but he needs the cooperation of Captain Klothos of the Klingon ship---but Klothos is a lying jerk-face.

The animation is as it always is in these "Star Trek" cartoons-- total crap with embarrassingly low cell-counts which make the terrible looking characters movie like robots! To make it worse, one of the female aliens has the highest pitch and most annoying voice acting I can recall ever having heard.

As for the story, it fair--about average for the series. The only exception is Spock, who, at times, appears very gay. I don't mean that in a homophobic way--I truly means that he acts like he really, really likes guys...a lot! You have to see it to believe it and, believe it or not, this is the best thing about this particular cartoon.
