not only are these adaptations amazing, but something notable about the BoBW one is that it loses absolutely nothing of the original scene’s sense of terror and dread.
The original TAS animation style gave an innate sense of silliness to the stories. it couldn’t help but do so. however, in this instance, the writing, direction, and even the TAS-adapted score couldn’t betray the original teleplay— it was both shocking and horrifying. we’d never seen anything like this before on TNG, with only a mere glimpse of it a season before in Q Who. not even the camp of the TAS animation style could dull that edge, and the animators, here, didn’t dare try.

mad respect for honoring the source material.
BTW, they did one for a scene from VOY - Threshold too! https://youtu.be/luEDui2zAUw?si=ozTwN2wF_WCIA3Cr
