YMMV / Star Trek: The Animated Series: S1 E3 "One of Our Planets Is Missing"

• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • This wouldn't be the last time the Enterprise crew encountered a cloud that was as big as a good portion of the Sol system, that they ended up flying inside, and that the creature at the centre of the cloud didn't consider humans to be "true" life forms (and in the Director's Cut of the film, they were likewise prepared to self-destruct the Enterprise in order to save the population of a planet).
  • This episode's handling of the dilemma over what to do about the planet-eating organism, when compared to how the same subject was handled in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Silicon Avatar". In this episode Kirk says that while his duty is to the human colonists first and foremost and he won't hesitate to destroy the creature if need be, he wants to find a solution that'll save the lives of both the colonists and the creature. By contrast, "Silicon Avatar" has Picard immediately declare that episode's planet-eating creature obviously doesn't realize it's killing people and that they shouldn't even consider using violence, and paints anyone who objects to this as just being too angry to think rationally. Many fans noted the irony of how a 25-minute episode of a children's show actually handled the subject matter with more maturity and nuance than a 45-minute episode of a live-action show aimed at an older audience.
