In an effort to help save another planet that will soon be transformed by violent seismic activity, the Enterprise is on a mission to collect information about the planet Argo, which is almost completely submerged after enduring similar seismic activity in its distant past. But soon after their arrival, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are abducted and transformed into water-breathers by the Aquans, the underwater inhabitants of Argo who fear that the air-breathers are a threat to their society. Kirk and Spock try to appeal to the Aquans that they mean them no harm, so that they can be transformed back in time to complete their mission before a massive new seaquake wipes out the underwater city for good. There are certain episodes of "The Animated Series" that would have been impossible to film as live-action episodes, and "The Ambergris Element" is definitely one of them. But once you get past the perceived silliness of the gimmick, "The Ambergris Element" proves to be a stellar episode of "The Animated Series" that features action, excitement and the time-honored "Star Trek" traditions of communication, mutual understanding and embracing cultures that we do not understand.
