What the....?!

I have no idea what I just saw...it was THAT weird and the characters THAT strange! A stupid catlike creature in an odd pink jumpsuit calls a diverse group of beings to go on a mission to find the stolen Soul of Skorr--some holy relic. It seems that it being missing might cause some jihad. So the group of freaks (including not just Spock and Kirk but a lizard guy, a bird-man, a big green pupae and an amazonish lady who thinks Kirk is hot) goes in search of it. The problem is that there is a traitor among them and their motivations seem pretty lame.

This is an average (for this series) episode. The plot is a bit silly and the characters REALLY silly. And, as usual, the animation is just crap--with low cell-counts and as a result robotic movements from the characters.
