Ranking 50 Years of ‘Star Trek’ Series Premieres
Star Trek, a new series from producer Gene Roddenberry that he described as being a “Wagon Train to the stars,” a reference to a popular Western series that depicted a caravan of settlers making their way across the post-Civil War American frontier. Roddenberry applied that premise to the so-called “final frontier” of outer space, sending the diverse crew of the Starship Enterprise to the farthest corners of the galaxy seeking out new life and new civilizations. In the half-century since Star Trek’s debut, we’ve witnessed five more series that offer a glimpse into the franchise’s idyllic future where space exploration is as ordinary as walking to the post office, and Earth’s nations have put aside their differences to serve a common goal.
