Story: The Pirates of Orion
Written By: Howard Weinstein
Series: Star Trek: The Animated Series
Year: 1974
This episode is cool because it kind of shows that Orions could have been a good villain rather than a once in a while a sexy green lady is in the show. I think I like the idea of the Orions. They have pirates and slave girls…they are like this accepted bad egg race in the Trek universe. Surprisingly, the only other show that actually tried something with them and did it well was…Enterprise…that is bad news for the Orions.
I liked this though; we got to see a male Orion for the first time. We also get a bit of a race against time, which I’m always game for. Decent episode for sure.
