TAS-16: “The Jihad”

Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are summoned by the Vedalans, the oldest known spacefaring race, to recover a stolen religious artifact called the Soul of Skarr, the theft of which must be kept secret in order to prevent a holy war from breaking out across the galaxy. In order to carry out their mission, Kirk and Spock are paired with members of other alien races that are experts in their field, but soon after the expedition gets under way across a volatile and dangerous planetary terrain, they begin to suspect that there is a traitor in their midst. Written by Stephen Kandell — who wrote “Mudd’s Women” and “I, Mudd” for “The Original Series,” as well as “Mudd’s Passion” for “The Animated Series” — “The Jihad” is an entertaining and exciting adventure that played into the many strengths that made “Star Trek” so unique, and it also brought the first season of “The Animated Series” to a satisfying close.
