Rob's Room: Star Trek: Very Short Treks | Worst Contact

Yeah... I'm gonna keep posting these... yikes... (though, I admit, the microwave moment did make me laugh... only because it was so stupid). Overall, these just seem like a waste of a potentially fun idea (ie. Trek in the style of ST:TAS)...

Oh my god, I didn't even get halfway through this. I agree it's a great idea, and also agree it's squandered. It's your typical Adult Swim humor... gross them out when you can't be funny. I can only imagine the suits at CBS looking at this in puzzlement, and relying on the young marketing guy to lie to them and assure them that it's funny.

Tonebone, I agree. These are painful. I love the idea of doing aretro-animated style, but this is not what it should be. The funniest short that has been done to date was the Tribble episode for Star Trek Discovery, "The Trouble with Edward".
