Star Trek fans may be familiar with the story involving Jeffrey Hunter; the franchise's first captain. Hunter played Captain Christopher Pike in the first Star Trek pilot, "The Cage". It was later soundly rejected and a re-shoot was ordered. This time Hunter wasn't interested in appearing in the series anymore, and so series creator Gene Roddenberry and crew went and cast William Shatner to be the new lead.

Star Trek being forced to recast Christopher Pike saved the franchise

Star Trek is a massive franchise at this point, extending fifty-eight years and including 930 episodes and forty-eight seasons of television and thirteen movies (which will increase to fourteen when Section 31 debuts). So to tell a newcomer to Trek where to begin is fairly difficult. Many people would say start with The Original Series and work your way through, but Whatculture has a different take and has provided a combination list of episodes and movies to watch for anyone new to Trek.

This list of best entry points for newcomers to Star Trek could prove to be more than confusing

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is going where no other series has gone before with Spock [Ethan Peck]. The unrequited love Nurse Christine Chapel [Majel Barrett Roddenberry] had for Leonard Nimoy's Spock on Star Trek: The Original Series was explored briefly in Strange New Worlds, and though the pair separated when Jess Bush's version of Chapel chose her career over their relationship, their connection remains strong.

Mark Hamill is excited about his newest role, which he likens to his experience with his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. It is difficult to even imagine the Star Wars franchise without Mark Hamill. The series kicked off in 1977 with a self-titled movie (retroactively titled A New Hope), which starred Hamill as Luke Skywalker, a farm boy from a backwater planet who finds himself caught up in a space version of Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (1958). Along with his co-stars Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, Hamill became an immediate pop culture icon via Star Wars.

Jeri Ryan took the role of the ex-Borg drone Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager and made a fan-favorite character out of it. When Voyager ended, we thought we'd never see Seven of Nine again, but Star Trek: Picard changed all of that, allowing the character to return in the first season of the new series. Not only that, Ryan stayed for all three seasons of Picard, and Seven of Nine became the captain of the new Enterprise in the series finale. Fans are still hoping her journey will continue in the spin-off series, Star Trek: Legacy.

With a possible reboot “origin story” feature film in the works and a new future-tense Starfleet Academy series focused on brand-new characters, the original 1960s continuity of Star Trek might seem very distant from the current franchise offerings. And yet, in Star Trek’s most popular show — Strange New Worlds — the canon and vibes of TOS are suddenly more prominent than ever. Going into Season 3 and beyond, it seems that Strange New Worlds is readying to redefine the backstory not just of Spock, Uhura, and Kirk, but the rest of the classic gang, too.

Even though it ended this year, Star Trek: Discovery remains one of the most contenious shows among Star Trek fans and probably will for years to come. Some fans saw it as too dark while others saw it as trying too hard to be Trek.
