Does anyone have the "vital stats" on the Animated Star Trek series?
Titles, writers, episode precis, dates on the air, star-dates, et al.

The "New" StarTrek Novels (Timescape) 1..21 : Anyone care to rate these
best to worst or discuss some of the extensions to the StarTrek 
Universe?

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of many of these novels as
well as the sheer number of them.

"Extensions" I particularly like are:

	*   The role of Recreation and the Recreation Officer aboard
		the Enterprise

	*   The strong, ever-developing mental link between Kirk and Spock

	*   The idea of "Special Agent" of the Federation

	*   An expansive look into Vulcan Culture

	*   An expansive look into Romulan Culture

	*   An expansive look into Klingon Culture

	*   Highlights of Sulu's "unique" abilities on the Helm, especially
		during battle

	*   Expansion of Uhura's character, career, and talents


StarTrek came on the scene when I was in my early twenties. I have been
a "FAN" ever since, from TV series, to Animation, to the Movies, to
the Novels. I sure hope it never stops !!
