    The very Short Treks will feature previously announced fan-favorite characters voiced by cast members from across the Star Trek universe, including icons Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Doug Jones as Saru and Armin Shimerman as Quark, and a new line-up of exciting voices, including Ethan Peck as Spock, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Connor Trinneer as Trip Tucker, Bruce Horak as Hemmer, Noël Wells as Tendi and the legendary George Takei as Sulu.

    There are a couple of nice surprises on that list.

      Trip Tucker is definitely the one that shocked me the most. It’s nice to see Enterprise getting more love lately with the Archer Spacedock in Discovery and the references in Strange New Worlds. Bring back the crew. I wanna know what happened to Porthos. They found a way to make him live forever, right?

      Right?

        I actually liked Enterprise, sloppy Temporal Cold War part aside. Even the Xindi arc redeemed itself eventually and the show was taking off after that.

        I even liked the opening song. Fight me. picard-direct-action

    So apparently this is from the guy who did the “Too Many Cooks” special, which is kinda awesomely weird. It will be interesting to watch!

    Neat!

    I am a bit disappointed that these are going to be explicitly non-canon, though.

      I refuse to accept that, and will only ever refer to the very Short Treks when debating the finer points of Star Trek.

        I’m tempted to go back to Reddit just to make a nitpicky Redditor’s head explode with this:

      I expect that the Very Short Treks won’t be entirely non-canon. For instance, some episode might introduce an event, place, or technology that is actually canon even if the events of the episode itself are not canon.

      Alternatively, they could be loosely canon in the same way as the Lego Star Wars shows/games, with the rough events and plots being canon even if exact details are not.

      I mean someone will create one anyway I think so why not have a pinned one?

        Yeah, I came to the same conclusion pretty quickly - hence the deletion!
