TAS-1) Beyond the Farthest Star
While exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy, the Enterprise encounters a derelict alien starship that's more than 300 million years old. It's completely lifeless, save for one alien entity that hijacks the Enterprise in an effort to take it back to a more populated sector of the galaxy. "Beyond the Farthest Star" earned its place in "Star Trek" history by being the first episode of "The Animated Series," which premiered on September 8, 1973 (seven years to the day after the original "Star Trek" series made its network TV debut). This new show may look different and be only half as long, but it was still very much a true "Star Trek" series that featured smart writing, a worthy new theme song and, of course, the voices of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and almost everyone else from "The Original Series."
