Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis installment apparently contradicts the Writers'/Directors' Guide for Star Trek (1966), which describes McCoy as having joined Starfleet only in middle age, after he was divorced; that would mean he couldn't have worked on Dramia II during his early adulthood. Since this was never definitively stated on screen, there is some wiggle room.
- GoofsThe pandemic killed hundreds of people on Dramia II. It's an awfully small number for a planet-wide plague that took the lives of all but one.
- Quotes
Capt. Kirk: [having just beamed down to Dramia II] Not the most enchanting place I've ever been to.
Demos: Plagues seldom leave behind fields of flowers, Captain.

Featured review
Surprisingly good.
"Albatross" is a surprisingly good episode of "Star Trek the Animated Series". Now I am NOT saying it's well-animated. No, as usual the animation really sucks as the characters move in a very robotic fashion and the quality of many (but not all) of the drawings is suspect. But the story itself is MUCH closer to the style of the original "Star Trek"--something severely lacking in many of the cartoons. Many feel like they are more designed for kids and not for Trek-lovers--which was probably the case back in 1974. This one, on the other hand, could have been hashed out into a decent script for a live-action show.
As for the show, Dr. McCoy helps a race of beings on a far off planet. For his troubles, he is arrested--and charged with killing off a race on a nearby planet 19 years ago! So, it's like the old saying "No good deed goes unpunished" and McCoy and his BFFs need to reconstruct events to determine if McCoy's vaccinations of these people long ago led to a plague (Jenny McCarthy, take note).
Overall, not great because of the craptastic animation. But tolerable because of the good script.
