Before ‘Star Trek,’ Gene Roddenberry Made His Mark on This Classic Western Series

During its initial three-year run (1966-1969) on NBC-TV, one of the defining characteristics of Star Trek (aka Star Trek: The Original Series) was its unabashed optimism about humanity’s future and its relationship to the rest of the cosmos. Here was a science fiction series which proclaimed that by the 23rd century, humankind would all but end war, racism, violence, personal conflict, sexism (well, sort of), and more of our most grievous failings, so that it could soar into the stars as part of a galactic consortium (the United Federation of Planets) of like-minded races and civilizations.

Star Trek: The Original Series

Star Trek is one of the biggest and oldest sci-fi franchise stalwarts. By the time George Lucas brought Star Wars back in 1999 with The Phantom Menace, Star Trek was already nine movies deep, on what felt like its third reboot, and was in the middle of its fourth major TV series. Since then, the TV side of Trek has continued to diversify and grow into the 21st century, while Trek’s film output has been much smaller than it was back in the day.

Anton Yelchin was a Russian-born American actor who came into the world on March 11, 1989. On June 19, 2016, he was tragically taken from it. Yelchin moved to the United States with his family when he was six months old. His parents were both professional figure skaters, but he chose a different career. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, his mother said that, shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, a woman approached her, having seen baby Anton, and said, “He’s beautiful. He will be actor.”

Most science fiction movie franchises that get past six films are fairly impressive. Way back before the MCU blew up in 2012 or the Star Wars sequels began in 2015, sci-fi film franchises generally didn’t get into the double-digits. In fact, the seemingly immortal Planet of the Apes franchise just now released its 10th film overall. Star Wars has 11 theatrical films, but five of those all came out in the last nine years. This summer, the Alien franchise will release its ninth film in very fragmented continuity, which funnily enough, has the subtitle Romulus, a term that was arguably popularized by the scrappiest science fiction franchise of them all — Star Trek.

News broke earlier this year that Star Trek was making two theatrical films side-by-side. Star Trek 4, featuring Chris Pine and the rest of the Kelvin Timeline crew, and a prequel film. Originally, we thought the film would be a prequel film to the Kelvin timeline. Featuring the story of how that universe had its first contact and the fallout after it. Then we got the awful news that this other new film would be a sequel/prequel to the main Star Trek timeline.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. You probably assume the best Star Trek movies always feature the crew bravely exploring unseen parts of the galaxy. But while that’s technically the franchise’s whole deal, the most financially successful Trek movies prove that sometimes the most compelling approach to a Trek blockbuster is for Starfleet to boldly stay on Earth.

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.
