When this episode of "Star Trek: The Animated Series" begins, I had high hopes. Sure, the animation was a steaming pile of crap (as usual) but I was happy to see this show visiting one from the original (and GOOD) series. In the original episode "Shore Leave", the crew lands on a planet not realizing it's a pleasure planet where the crew can live out their fantasies in complete safety--sort of like a nice version of "West World". However, inexplicably, instead of it being a fun time, Uhura is kidnapped and McCoy attacked by the computer running the planet. To stop it, it takes Kirk, Spock and Uhuru to talk sense into the computer and butter up it's ego. In the end, the computer says it's sorry for acting like a butt-head and everyone is happy.
Apart from the crappy animation, this show suffers from a sub-par script that was very disappointing. Now completely horrible but it sure should have been better.
