Star Trek: Voyager's Most Infamous Episode Recreated in Animated Style
A new video reimagines Star Trek: Voyager's most infamous episode in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series. Voyager was the fifth television series in the Star Trek franchise, and it ran from 1995 to 2001. As the series introduced Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) as the first female lead in the franchise, Voyager made its mark as one of science fiction's most gender-balanced television programs. The show also has been repeatedly ranked highly among Star Trek live-action series.
Still, while Star Trek: Voyager remains beloved, fans will remember that not every episode from the series was well-received. Perhaps the most infamous episode from Voyager was «Threshold». The episode, which took place in Star Trek: Voyager season 2, attempted to explore the consequences of breaking the transwarp barrier and reaching Warp 10. Instead, it led Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) to evolve into amphibious creatures. The Voyager episode caused an overwhelming number of fans to complain about the bizarre story, and it remains a notorious part of Star Trek's canon today.

Much of the fandom seems to prefer to ignore the episode, but a new animated video recreates Star Trek: Voyager's misstep in glorious fashion. Gazelle Automations posted a video that reimagines the final act of «Threshold» in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series, complete with the moment Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and Tuvok (Tim Russ) realize Paris and Janeway mated and reproduced as the salamander-like creatures. The new video also adds some small changes to the original episode, including some extra nonhuman crewmembers. Check out the video below:
