"The Time Trap" is the twelfth episode of the first season of the American animated science fiction television series Star Trek.
It first aired in the NBC Saturday morning lineup on November 24, 1973,[1] and was written by American actress and screenwriter Joyce Perry.
The Enterprise and one Klingon battlecruiser are drawn into a spacetime vortex and end up in a timeless dimension in what could only be called a graveyard for space vessels.
[2] In their book TrekNavigator: The Ultimate Review Guide to the Entire Trek Saga, Mark A. Altman and Ed Gross commented that while the "Bermuda Triangle of space" theme is somewhat fanciful, "the resulting cooperation between the Klingons and the Enterprise is adeptly done."
However, they judged Nichelle Nichols and James Doohan's work in multiple roles to be unsatisfactory, and found the Klingons' betrayal predictable.
