* ShoutOut: The Lactrans, the highly advanced race of aliens in the episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeriesS1E15TheEyeOfTheBeholder Eye of the Beholder]], appear to be somewhat based on the Krell from ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet.'' The Krell doorways, a clue to that race's body shape, would fit fine for the Lactrans.

* TroubledProduction: The series had troubles mostly in the pre-production phase, as the producers initially only intended to bring back Creator/WilliamShatner, Creator/LeonardNimoy, Creator/DeForestKelley, Creator/JamesDoohan and Creator/MajelBarrett, creating {{Suspiciously Similar Substitute}}s Arex and M'Ress for Sulu and Uhura respectively. However, the lead cast members put their foot down and refused to do the series unless Creator/GeorgeTakei, Creator/NichelleNichols and Creator/WalterKoenig were brought back. There wasn't the budget to bring back all three, however, resulting in them having to agree to a compromise measure whereby Takei and Nichols would return as regular cast members, and Koenig would be allowed to write an episode of the series (Arex and M'Ress were retained, albeit with the former replacing Chekov rather than Sulu). However...
** The episode that Koenig wrote, "The Infinite Vulcan," was completely rewritten from top to bottom by Creator/GeneRoddenberry, ending up with nothing in common with Koenig's original script other than that it involved a giant clone of Spock, and plant people (the latter of which wasn't actually Koenig's idea in the first place, but rather Roddenberry's). Koenig fumed, but consoled himself with the thought that he'd at least be allowed to come back and voice the story's BigBad -- only to find out, at a ''Star Trek'' convention of all places, that he wasn't even going to be allowed to do ''that''.
** Another episode that suffered from heavy meddling by Roddenberry was the second season story "Bem". David Gerrold had first pitched it for the third season of TOS, but then-producer Fred Freiberger didn't like the story, and also didn't think it could be produced on a diminished third season budget. Gerrold instead submitted it for TAS, and Roddenberry bought it, but then told Gerrold he couldn't have two of his scripts put into production since it would create the appearance of favoritism. Gerrold understandably decided to have "More Tribbles, More Troubles" produced instead, as it was a sequel to a highly popular TOS episode... only for Roddenberry to then have two scripts by ''another'' former TOS writer, Margaret Armen, put into production. It was eventually made for the second season, but not until after Roddenberry had demanded the inclusion of a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien antagonist, though Gerrold did at least turn this requirement to his advantage by demanding that Nichelle Nichols voice the resulting character, as she almost never got to voice anyone except for Uhura.
