Historical Note
Premiering in 1966 Star Trek became a beacon for Science-Fiction dramas. Many of the conflicts and political dimensions of
Star Trek represent allegories of contemporary cultural realities.
Star Trek: The Original Series addressed issues of the 1960s,just as later spin-offs have reflected issues of their respective decades. Issues depicted
in the various series include war and peace, the value of personal loyalty, authoritarianism, imperialism, class warfare,
economics, racism, religion, human rights, sexism, feminism, and the role of technology.
The first series, now referred to as
The Original Series, debuted in 1966 and ran for three seasons on NBC. It followed the interstellar adventures of James T. Kirk and the crew
of the starship Enterprise, an exploration vessel of a 23rd-century interstellar "United Federation of Planets". These adventures
continued in the short-lived Star Trek: The Animated Series and six feature films. Four spin-off television series were eventually
produced:
Star Trek: The Next Generation followed the crew of a new starship Enterprise set a century after the original series;
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and
Star Trek: Voyager, set contemporaneously with The Next Generation; and
Star Trek: Enterprise. Four additional
The Next Generation feature films were produced. The franchise has gained a cult-like following that allowed for individuals everywhere to gather
memorabilia, cosplay their favorite characters, and even gain interest in astronomical studies. The shows title phrase is
also memorable, as it sets the premise of every adventure the characters embark on.
"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new
worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."
