Plot Summaries
Series
This animated parody blends Star Trek with The Flintstones, imagining a Stone Age version of the original Trek series. Produced between 2000 and 2002, it includes nine Flash-format episodes—eight two-parters and a music video parody of Star Trekkin’. Created by Brian Matthews, written by Jim Jenkins, and voiced by Wally Fields, the series humorously incorporates viewer-submitted photos as Redshirt characters who meet comical, exaggerated fates.

Episode 01: "The Deadly Ears", 0 hr 11 min 
In The Deadly Ears, Mr. Sprock’s ears swell uncontrollably after landing on a mysterious planet, disrupting ship operations. The cause is a swarm of bees attracted to his ears. Sprock uses his ears to guide the ship and brings the bees aboard to save them. The bees, an advanced civilization, negotiate with the Federation, requesting a pair of Sprock’s ears, which the crew replicates with play-doh molds. The crisis is humorously resolved when it’s revealed Vulcans have an extra set of ears for emergencies.

Episode 02: "20,001 BC: A Space Oddity", 0 hr 11 min 
In this Stone Trek episode, Captain Kirk Stone and his crew encounter a mysterious black monolith and a malfunctioning HAL computer on the research vessel Discovery. After surviving HAL’s attempts to kill the crew, Kirk meets an alien resembling William Shatner, who shows him a strange version of It’s a Wonderful Life and hints that his life is a TV show.

At their arrival, a crew member is attacked by a “rock vampire” that drains salt and can change its appearance. It’s revealed that Nancy herself is the rock vampire. Dr. McCoy defeats her with garlic salt, and humorously expresses relief, recalling that Nancy had broken his heart years earlier.

In Marooned on Tattoonine, Captain Kirkstone and his crew face a crisis when their ship, the Magnetized, is attacked by the Fashion Alliance, who accuse them of interfering with a royal wedding and demand Queen Amidala’s surrender. When the ship’s complex “magnets” start leaking, Kirkstone, Mr. Sprock, and Queen Amidala must shuttle down to Tatooine to find replacement parts. Struggling with unaccepted Federation credits and limited resources, they become marooned. Mr. Sprock devises a plan to enter a local pod race to earn the necessary funds. Despite obstacles and booby traps, Kirkstone participates, aiming to secure the parts needed to repair the ship.
