The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek (2021)

Episode Overview

Title: Line for Legacy Plot: In 1987, Paramount made the bold choice to bring Star Trek back to its origins: the small screen. Star Trek: The Next Generation would be the pioneering hour-long scripted series sold directly to syndication. This risk proved successful, as iconic characters like Picard, Data, and Worf became household names, captivating audiences everywhere.
