| Captain Star | comment |
Captain Star (1997-1998) was a quirky Anglo-Canadian cartoon parody of Star Trek animated by Cosgrove Hall, which ran for only 13 episodes. Captain Star's mission is to visit exotic planets, name them after himself, and sell stuff. However his superiors have stuck him on a nameless planet at the ragged edge of the universe where he naively waits for his next orders, his ego oblivious to the implications that he has been Kicked Upstairs.The actual work is done by his second in command Dana Scully-Ersatz (just look at that hair), Only Sane Woman First Officer Scarlette. She is sort of helped by the multi-limbed, multi-headed engineer "Limbs" Jones and navigator Black, a fish-obsessed cook.Not to be confused with the TUGS character of the same name. | |

| Captain Star / int_2534ee67 | comment |
In Medias Res: It is never made clear just how long the crew have been waiting for their orders, but by the time we join them on the Nameless Planet, it's clearly been quite a while. The nearest hint we get is in the episode with everybody's birthdays - which would seem to indicate they've been waiting for less than a year. (In the original comics from which the series was adapted, they've been waiting for eleven years). | |

100% Heroism Rating: Star is the most popular person in the entire universe. Mission Control has Captain Star fireworks at the ready. Even the smallest trading posts have lifesize Captain Star statues in the streets. His birthday is made into a pan-universal public holiday. He's so popular that even the guy who plays him on Star of Space is the second-most popular person in the universe just by association with him. | |

| Captain Star / int_440d1d0b | comment |
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Captain Star who is normally dogmatic about following mission control's orders does this to help his old captain Ned Nova. Using technicalities Star reports that Ned Nova is not the man that they found; since Ned Nova would normally be in his 100s yet due to his encasement in worm goo is still around 50-60 years old. Captain Star lets him go to continue adventuring in the stars. | |

Your Costume Needs Work | |
| Captain Star / int_5bc2106 | comment |
Your Costume Needs Work: Captain Star is kidnapped and forced to take part in a Captain Star lookalike contest at a Captain Star fan convention - nobody there actually believes he's the real Captain Star except for a small boy who is later able to help his crew when they come to rescue him. Even his crew can't tell which of the contestants is him until he says Something Only They Would Say. (To be fair, it also takes him a minute to figure out which one of the many Scarlettes, Blacks, and Joneses are the right ones.) He loses the contest, albeit because it's been rigged; many of the other contestants (and even the producers of the show Star of Space, who are looking to replace their primadonna lead) are all very impressed with him. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Captain Star / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Captain Star is a raging egomaniac and seems at times completely oblivious to the events surrounding him. However, he is still the best captain in the fleet. In Written In The Stars, with the planet about the be destroyed and Scarlette depressed that her first tenure as acting captain is going to result in them all dying, she asks for a hint on how to save the day, and he easily points her in the right direction. The rest of Star's crew are also this. Despite all of them being very eccentric, each of them has kept up with Star as they are exploring. If they had performed any less its doubtful Star would have retained them. | |

Bold Explorer: There's nothing Captain Star would rather do than pilot his rocketship across the universe, and it's the one thing Mission Control won't allow. "The Atomic Alarm Clock" makes this clear, as put by the episode's villain, Bloater: What makes Captain Star the hero is that he saves Mission Control anyway, although you get the feeling in some of his darker moments a part of him might regret it. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| Captain Star / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: In The Gravity of the Situation, Star receives a teddy bear which he thinks has his orders, and spends the episode interrogating the stuffed animal, while everyone else assumes it's because the captain is suffering from boredom-induced depression. At the end of the episode when Star cheers up, he throws the bear away, and it turns out the bear was a scout for an alien invasion; so everyone was wrong about the bear, but Star's attempted interrogation was right anyway. The bears then have their own example when the scout tells his commanders that Star is a major badass and should be avoided; he's right that Star is a badass, but was wrong in thinking Star was onto them. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: In a few episodes, Star seems to indicate (through his actions, if never explicitly in words) that he is aware of Mission Control effectively marooning him on the Nameless Planet, and that his orders will never come. Perhaps he keeps up the charade for the benefit of his crew, who all seem genuinely unaware of this (even the otherwise very intelligent Scarlette). | |

Take That! | |
| Captain Star / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A couple of subtle digs at - of all people - William Shatner, who plays Star's direct inspiration: In "The Gravity of the Situation", Star's depression has led him to become so dense that he has sunken through the floor of his workshop - but the top of his head (more specifically his hair) still protrudes out from below. Scarlette immediately pegs it as his toupee even as Jones protests that his hair was all his own - a reference to the longstanding debates over whether or not Shatner wore a hairpiece on Star Trek. In "A Galaxy of Stars", a send-up of Trekkie fandom in general, we finally meet the cast of Star of Space, including Kenneth Shed, who plays Star. Like Shatner, he has a titanic ego even larger than the private planet on which he lives, and (allegedly) like Shatner, he wears a toupee to play Star and is as bald as an eagle without it. | |

Artistic License – Physics: This show plays so fast and loose with physics (deliberately, it must be said - the laws of physics are very much like the points on Whose Line Is It Anyway?) it's more surprising when they actually get it right - most notably when Scarlette accurately describes time as a function of the speed of light and the concept of relativity. The most obvious instance of comically shoddy physics is the Low-Flying Moon, which orbits so absurdly low as to audibly zoom past overhead, but somehow has enough density to cause nearby objects to briefly levitate with its gravity. | |

| Captain Star / int_ff04e190 | comment |
Inciting Incident: Ned Nova's flight from mission control counts as this. After Ned Nova flees from mission control in order to escape from an enforced retirement; mission control changed their policy on retiring old captains. Captain Star's marooning on the nameless planet is apparently now how they deal with retiring certain captains who are adventurers at heart. | |
