Dolphins?? I think maybe they learned a lesson or two from Seaquest DSV.

That is crazy lax star trek know-how.

I am not really a huge fan of TNG, or anything after it, although I have been known to tune into DS9 from time to time, and most of the TNG movies were pretty alright. Honestly, the less dated the series looks, the less I am interested, as a general rule of thumb. Also, the more times the crew of a series visits a vastly improbable planet drastically altered in a way that resembles some kind of 1900's Earth Culture, the better.
Actually any episode with Q in it rules as well, so there is the only hole in my theory.

I am pretty sure this isn't the case. I can't exactly remember why, but I'm sure it gets brought up in one of the TOS commentaries. I'm sure Spocks mother talks about his pet in Journey to Babel though.
The Animated Series came out on DVD here a few weeks ago, at exactly the same time I swore I was not going to buy any more DVD's for a while, which annoyed the crap out of me.

My ultimate all-encompassing opinion of Trek:
The Original Series: Groundbreaking for its time, with several great episodes, but now incredibly dated and nearly unwatchable except for a laugh. More on this later.
TNG: Brilliant. Usually not crap, everything was top notch about this series. The plots were great, the acting was almost always at leats tolerable, and it's still not aging. I still watch this at least once a week. Because I am a nerd.
DS9: Even better. Amazing acting. Great characters. And the most impressive plot of all Trek. It was an achievement that no other Trek has been able to match and I don't think they ever will. I wish this was on as often as TNG.
Voyager: Arse. It had a good premise, ruined by bad acting, bad plots, and the miserable pitiful destruction of all the good plots that TNG started: Q, the Borg, the Maquis. It's depressing.
Enterprise: It began as more of the same as Voyager, only this time they were ruining the plots Voyager started, which is fine, because it doesn't matter. Then Berman and Braga, the fuckers who got control after DS9, started losing control. By the fourth season, Manny Coto, a relative newcomer, had reigns of Trek.
And he rocked. Enterprise makes me terrible sad, because the fourth season was really good and no one watched it.
Which leads me back around to TOS. The last season of Enterprise was pretty much the Original Series, redone with a different crew and with modern sci-fi TV standards. I want a real remake to occur, exactly like that, with Coto at the helm. It would be amazing.

I'm a geek.
Orbert:
Hmm, I was sure I read somewhere that TAS was considered canon, by virtue of Gene Roddenberry's name in the credits and TOS actors doing the voices. Amanda may have mentioned it during Journey to Babel, but the detail regarding Spock going back in time and visiting his family (including his younger self) is definitely from TAS. I used to know the name he used, too, but I've forgotten.
KharBevNor:
The animated series is not normally considered canon. At least, not in the official star trek publications. Like the star trek encyclopedia. Which I own.
Only current up to first contact though. I came to trekkydom young.
