Endings are hard, especially when your last episode wasn’t planned. Star Trek: The Original Series was ingloriously canceled after three seasons, despite valiant fan efforts to keep it on the air. That means its finale wasn’t written as a finale, and it generally ranks among the worst entries in the entire franchise.

Paramount is once again juggling its Star Trek projects. At the start of 2024, all ten of the Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation movies vacated the streamer because of a licensing deal with Max. With that deal ending, the movies will be returning to Paramount+ beginning July 1st, according to Trekmovie.

Star Trek is an ever-growing franchise, with 11 television series, plus two series of shorts and two separate film series. But despite all these spinoffs and spinoffs of spinoffs, only a couple of branches of the franchise have been given sequels. The Original Series has The Animated Series as a continuation, then its run of six sequel movies (seven, if you include Generations), plus a prequel series (Strange New Worlds); and The Next Generation has four films and a sequel series (Picard), plus a spiritual sequel in Lower Decks. But Deep Space Nine has had to make do with a single episode of Lower Decks and Enterprise gets nothing but the occasional mention as easter eggs.

We're on board with the idea of Star Trek having an animated film somewhere down the line. It's a solid idea and financially, it makes total sense. It'd give you the attraction of a series without all the costs. Since animation is one of the best ways to broaden the fandom to be more youthful, it should be a priority. We're we disagree with the general sentiment that Star Trek: Prodigy shouldn't be the first animated film.

Star Trek: Prodigy shouldn't be the first animated film in franchise history

Everyone knows that the only way to defeat Superman is to hit him with some kryptonite. But, what several, several classic Superman movies actually do is to try and defeat Superman with some other similar version of himself. Now, with a combination of set photos and plot rumors, it sounds like the next big-screen version of the Man of Steel may reboot a trope we’ve seen on screen since 1983, but goes back to 1964 or 1958, depending on how you look at it.

When it comes to couples that should-have-been, Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) are high on the list. The chemistry between the pair was so tangible that everyone figured a romance would ultimately happen. Even the creative team behind Voyager wanted to pursue a relationship, according to Screenrant. But, as we know, Mulgrew said no to a romance, and Janeway and Chakotay remained "just friends" throughout the entirety of the series.

Cinema was made for genres like science fiction. Sci-fi is the realm of exotic alien planets, murderous robots trying to take over humanity, and cool technological and scientific concepts that anchor some of the most entertaining gimmicks in film history. One of the best parts about sci-fi is that it lends itself perfectly to spawning long-running movie franchises that usually become pop culture icons with time.

In 1992, when Bruce Timm helped launch Batman: The Animated Series, a new template for how we all imagined the Dark Knight was born. With its gothic aesthetic and a moody Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy), this take on the beloved vigilante managed to capture the goofiness and genuine darkness of Batman like no other onscreen versions before or since. And now, with the impending launch of Prime Video’s new animated series, Batman: Caped Crusader, Timm has largely brought back the vibe of the ‘90s Batman, but has expertly blended it with a few other influences, too.

When Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) was first introduced to Star Trek: Voyager in season four, she was going to lose more than just her attachment to the Borg. In the DVD extras of season four of the series, Executive Producer Brannon Braga [via Screenrant] said that the writers had originally intended for Seven to go by a human name, possibly as a way for her to integrate more fully back into humanity. And though the name she used before she was assimilated was revealed, she never chose to utlize that name on Voyager.

The original stars of Star Trek have all been played by different actors at this point. We've had different adult Captain Kirks, different Spocks, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Scotty, and others from the franchise. So far, though, Star Trek hasn't ventured into the territory of a new Jean-Luc Picard or any other character from Star Trek: The Next Generation or the other series in the franchise unless you count the time when Picard, Guinan, Ensign Ro Laren, and Keiko O'Brien were changed to twelve-year-old children in a transporter incident in the season six episode "Rascals."
