Editing Star Trek: The Animated Series (section)

=== References in other ''Star Trek'' series ===
Since Roddenberry's death in 1991, and the subsequent exit of Richard H. Arnold (who vetted the licensed tie-ins for Roddenberry's ''Star Trek'' office at Paramount during its later years), there have been several references to the animated series in the various other Trek series. In the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "[[Once More Unto the Breach (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|Once More Unto the Breach]]", Kor referred to his ship, the ''Klothos'', which was first named in the ''TAS'' episode "[[The Time Trap (ST:TAS)|The Time Trap]]". Other ''DS9'' episodes to make reference to the animated series include "[[Broken Link (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|Broken Link]]", where [[Elim Garak]] mentions Edosian orchids (Arex is an Edosian) and "[[Tears of the Prophets]]" where a ''Miranda''-class starship is called the USS ''ShirKahr'' (sic) after ShiKahr, the city from "Yesteryear". In the episode "[[Prophet Motive]]" the title of healer is resurrected from "Yesteryear" as well. Vulcan's Forge is also mentioned in "[[Change of Heart (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|Change of Heart]]", in which [[Worf]] wants to honeymoon there with [[Jadzia Dax]], as well as in episodes "[[The Forge (Star Trek: Enterprise)|The Forge]]", "[[Awakening (Star Trek: Enterprise)|Awakening]]" and "[[Kir'Shara]]" from ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]''.

The ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' episodes "[[The Catwalk]]" and "[[The Forge (Star Trek: Enterprise)|The Forge]]" included references to "[[Yesteryear (Star Trek: The Animated Series)|Yesteryear]]", the latter featuring a [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] rendition of a wild sehlat. The remastered Original Series episode "[[Amok Time]]" featured ShiKahr in the background as Spock beams up at the episode's ending,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/amoktime/new_spock_beamout.jpg|title=ShiKahr (background image)|work=TrekMovie.com|access-date=May 5, 2013|archive-date=April 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130415203245/http://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/amoktime/new_spock_beamout.jpg|url-status=live}}</ref> and the remastered version of "[[The Ultimate Computer]]" replaced the ''Botany Bay''-style ''Woden'' with an automated grain carrier from "[[More Tribbles, More Troubles]]".

The 2009 film ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'' also references "Yesteryear", featuring a nearly identical scene in which a young Spock is confronted by several other Vulcan children, who bully and provoke him for being part human.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Britt |first=Ryan |date=2019-03-08 |title=How Star Trek: The Animated Series Influences Discovery |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/how-star-trek-the-animated-series-influences-discovery/ |access-date=2023-04-12 |website=Den of Geek |language=en-US}}</ref>

The 2017 series ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'' episode "[[Context Is for Kings]]" has Spock's foster sister Michael Burnham state that their mother Amanda read ''Alice in Wonderland'' to them as children, as in the episode "[[Once Upon a Planet]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://comicbook.com/startrek/2017/10/03/star-trek-discovery-spock-animated-series-easter-egg/|title='Star Trek: Discovery' References Spock And 'The Animated Series'|work=comicbook.com|access-date=March 8, 2019|archive-date=October 4, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171004040118/http://comicbook.com/startrek/2017/10/03/star-trek-discovery-spock-animated-series-easter-egg/|url-status=live}}</ref> The second season episode "Light and Shadows" expands on Amanda's reasons for doing so.

The 2021 series Season 2 of ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'' episode 2 ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2#Episodes|Kayshon, His Eyes Open]]'' features the skeleton of Giant Spock from TAS season 1 episode 7 "[[The Infinite Vulcan]]". Also in Season 2 of ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'' episode 8 "[[Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2#Episodes|I, Excretus]]" features a Pandronian drill administrator named Shari yn Yem, the first Pandronian in the history of Trek to appear outside of TAS.  The race was introduced in TAS episode [[Bem (Star Trek: The Animated Series)|"Bem"]].

Carter Winston, from "[[The Survivor (Star Trek: The Animated Series)|The Survivor]]", has a small but important role late in the 1984 tie-in novel ''[[The Final Reflection]]'' by [[John M. Ford]]. In recent years, references to ''The Animated Series'' have also cropped up again in the licensed books and comics. 

[[M'Ress]] and [[Arex (Star Trek)|Arex]], characters from the animated series, appear in the ''[[Star Trek: New Frontier]]'' novels by [[Peter David]], in which M'Ress and Arex are transported through time to the 24th Century, and are made officers on board the USS ''Trident''. (David's previous use of these characters, in TOS movie-era comics published by [[DC Comics]], had been ended by Gene Roddenberry's office.)<ref>''Star Trek'', Series II issue #1 lettercol, DC Comics, September 1989</ref>

A race introduced in the episode "[[The Jihad]]", represented by a character named EM/3/GREEN, is named the Nasat in the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] [[e-book]] novellas. These stories feature a regular Nasat character, [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers|P8 Blue]]. The Vulcan city of ShiKahr also appears in many books. Paula Block, then of [[CBS Consumer Products]], was responsible for approving proposals and all completed manuscripts for the licensed media tie-ins and granted many such uses of ''TAS'' material since Roddenberry's death.

[[Amarillo Design Bureau]] has—as part of its license for the [[Star Fleet Universe]] series of games—incorporated many aspects of ''The Animated Series'' into its works, not least being the inclusion of the [[Kzin]]ti, although in a modified form. In addition [[FASA]] used elements from ''The Animated Series'' in its sourcebooks and modules for its [[Star Trek: The Role Playing Game|''Star Trek'' role-playing game]].

''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' producer [[Manny Coto]] has commented that had the show been renewed for a fifth season, the [[Kzin]]ti would have been introduced.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek:_Enterprise#The_Would-Be_Season_5|title=Star Trek: Enterprise|work=Memory Alpha|access-date=December 29, 2007|archive-date=January 1, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080101082432/http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek:_Enterprise#The_Would-Be_Season_5|url-status=live}}</ref> Starship designs were produced which closely resemble the Kzinti/[[Kzin|Mirak]] ships from the ''[[Star Fleet Universe]]'', a gaming universe that includes the boardgame ''[[Star Fleet Battles]]'' and its [[Personal computer|PC]] analogue ''[[Star Trek: Starfleet Command|Star Fleet Command]]''. The Kzinti were referenced in dialog in the ''[[Star Trek: Picard]]'' episode "Nepenthe", which marked their first canonical on-screen mention since ''The Animated Series''.

On June 27, 2007, ''Star Trek''{{'}}s official site incorporated information from ''The Animated Series'' into its library section,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://intl.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/specials/article/66895.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703224730/http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/features/specials/article/66895.html|archive-date=July 3, 2010|access-date=May 16, 2020|title=''The Animated Series'' Gets Real|work=StarTrek.com|url-status=live}}</ref> with many pointing to this as evidence that the animated series is canonical, though this has not been officially confirmed. Both David Gerrold and D. C. Fontana have stated that the animated series is essentially the fourth season that fans wanted originally.<ref>Silverman, D. S. (2015).
