1966-1969 - STAR TREK [THE ORIGINAL SERIES] (TOS)

FIRST SERIES TO BE BROADCASTED ON TV, STAR TREK DEPICTED A STARSHIP, THE USS ENTERPRISE, FOR A 5 YEAR MISSION INTO SPACE. FINDING NEW SPECIES, PATROLLING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS MANAGING ALL THE DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS IN THE YOUNG FEDERATION WERE THE MAIN MISSIONS OF THE CREW. ORIGINALLY, "THE CAGE" WAS THE FIRST PILOT OF THE SHOW NOT SEEN ON TV FEATURING OTHER CHARACTERS LIKE CAPTAIN CHRISTOPHER PIKE, NUMBER ONE, DOCTOR BOYCE... ONLY ONE CAST MEMBER STAYED: MISTER SPOCK PLAYED BY LEONARD NIMOY. "WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE" WAS THE SECOND PILOT WITH THE WELL-KNOWN CREW: CAPTAIN KIRK, NYOTA UHURA, LEONARD "BONES" MCCOY, MONTGOMERY SCOTT AND SPOCK HIMSELF STILL PLAYED BY NIMOY. THE SHOW HAD ONLY 3 SEASONS BUT DEFINITELY CONQUERED PEOPLE.

1973-1974 - STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES (TAS)

THIS ANIMATED SHOW WAS THE FIRST EVER IN THE FRANCHISE. JUST FOR TWO SEASONS, IT TELLS THE STORY OF KIRK'S ENTERPRISE, DEPICTED AFTER THE END OF THE THIRD SEASON OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES CONSIDERING IT AS THE FOURTH TOS SEASON. IN 2007, 34 YEARS AFTER ITS RELEASE, TAS HAS BEEN CANONIZED AND ALL THE ELEMENTS WERE CONSIDERED CONFIRMED INTO THE LORE OF STAR TREK BY THE FRANCHISE'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE AFTER DECADES OF DISCUSSIONS AND DEBATES.

1987-1994 - STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (TNG)

GENE RODDENBERRY, STILL IN COMMAND OF THE FRANCHISE, WANTED TO SEE NEW STORIES OF STAR TREK, BUT WAY FARER IN TIME. HE WANTED TO BUILD A FUTURE WHERE MORE SPECIES ENTERED THE FEDERATION? A WHOLE CENTURY OF FULL PEACE AND EXPLORATION WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES BUT STILL NEW DISCOVERIES AND THREATS. THIS FIRST SPIN-OFF, AIRED IN 1987, DEPICTS THE ADVENTURES OF THE FOURTH ENTERPRISE, THE USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-D. COMMANDED BY CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD AND COMMANDER WILLIAM T. RIKER, EVERYTHING WAS REDESIGNED FROM THE UNIFORMS TO THE STARSHIP BRIDGE AND EVEN NEW CHARACTER NEVER SEEN BEFORE. IT WENT ON FOR 7 SEASONS AND BECAME AS POPULAR AND LEGENDARY AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES. SOME ORIGINAL CHARACTERS APPEARED IN SOME EPISODES.

1993-1998 - STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (DS9)

GENE RODDENBERRY WAS HAPPY WITH TNG, ALTHOUGH HIS HEALTH STARTED TO DECLINE MORE AND MORE. STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE IS A NEW SHOW THAT STARTED TO RISE IN THE HEAD OF TWO MEN: RICK BERMAN AND MICHEAL PILLER, STARTING WHAT FANS CALL IT THE "BERMAN ERA". SADLY, GENE RODDENBERRY DIED IN 1991 AND NEVER SAW DS9. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE BEGINNING A PRODUCTION WAS ORPHAN FROM ITS CREATOR AND FATHER FIGURE.

DEEP SPACE NINE IS THE SHOW THAT DIFFERENTIATE ITSELF FROM THE OTHER SERIES: IT TOOK PLACE ABOARD A NON-FEDERATION SPACE STATION BUT COMMANDED BY STARFLEET. AT FIRST BADLY SEEN AND REVIEWED BY PEOPLE, THE FORMAT DOES NOT MUCH ATTRACT PEOPLE. BUT YET, THE SHOW HAD A HUGE IMPACT IN THE STAR TREK HISTORY AS IT WAS BRINGING THE DARK SHADE IT ALWAYS MISSED TO THE FULL UTOPIAN FUTURE: A BIG WAR THAT LED PEOPLE TO FIGHT AGAINST BLOODTHIRSTY ENNEMIES. ALSO, RELIGION WAS A TOPIC RARELY DISCUSSED AMONG THE FRANCHISE WRITERS AND FANS, THE DEITY DIMENSION WAS SOMEHOW REJECTED AS RELIGION ALWAYS HAD A BAD TIME FOR HUMANS. THEY DECIDED TO BRING THE RELIGIOUS FIGURE WITH THE BAJORANS WHO HAD A HUGE FAITH IN THEIR "GODS".

AFTER SEVEN SEASONS, IT IS ALSO THE ONLY SERIES TO HAVE A FULL END WITH THE TRAGIC LOSS OF ITS MAIN CHARACTER: CAPTAIN BENJAMIN SISKO.

1995-2001 - STAR TREK: VOYAGER (VOY)

FOURTH SERIES OF THE FRANCHISE, STAR TREK: VOYAGER WAS ALREADY IN WRITERS' MIND DURING DEEP SPACE NINE EARLY YEARS. THIS SHOW TELLS THE STORY OF A STRANDED SHIP, THE USS VOYAGER, INTO THE DELTA QUADRANT, AN UNKNOWN AND UNVISITED PART OF THE GALAXY, SENT THERE BY AN ALIEN RACE BY ACCIDENT. WITHOUT ANY MAGIC MEASURES, THE FIRST EVER CAPTAIN FEMALE SEEN ON SCREEN, CAPTAIN KATHRYN JANEWAY, THE SPACESHIP HAD TO MAKE ITS WAY BACK TO HOME (EARTH). SEVEN SEASONS WAS ENOUGH TO TELL ALL THE NECESSARY STORIES FOR ITS COME BACK TO THE ALPHA QUADRANT, HELPED BY MANY NEWLY DISCOVERED SPECIES AS WELL AS FACING NEW THREATS, WHETHER ALL NEW OR CERTAINLY FAMILIAR. THIS SHOW IS STILL CONSIDERED TODAY AS THE PINNACLE OF THE "STAR TREK GOLDEN AGE", MEANING THE ERA OF A PROLIFIC PRODUCTION.

2001-2005 - STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE (ENT)

AFTER VOYAGER ENDED, IT WAS ALREADY GIVEN A DECISION TO CREATE A NEW SHOW. WITH THE MOVIE "STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT" AIRED IN 1996, SHOWRUNNERS WANTED TO BUILD ANOTHER VISION OF A PRE-FEDERATION ERA, A CENTURY BEFORE THE EVENTS OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, WRITERS HAD TO SHOW US WHAT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE BEGINNING OF SPACE EXPLORATIONS WITH LESS TECHNOLOGY, LESS PEACE AND ALSO NEW SPECIES THAN VULCANS AND DENOBULANS ABOARD THE ENTERPRISE NX-01, A NEW WARP 5 STARFLEET STARSHIP CAPTAINED BY JONATHAN ARCHER. SADLY, THIS BERMAN ERA WAS GETTING TO AND END, IT WAS LACKING OF AUDIENCES AND PARAMOUNT WAS GOING TO REDUCE FUNDS FOR STAR TREK SHOWS. 4 SEASONS WERE PRODUCED AND A FIFTH SEASON WAS ABOUT TO GET INTO PRODUCTION BUT WAS FINALLY CANCELED WAY BEFORE IT COULD GET TO FILMING.

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE WAS THE LAST SHOW THAT RESULTED OF A HUGE ABSENCE OF SERIES ON TV FOR 12 YEARS UNTIL STAR TREK: DISCOVERY IN 2017. AS OF TODAY, STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE REGAINED POPULARITY AMONG FANS AND IS NOW CONSIDERED AS GOOD AS ALL OTHER PREVIOUS ITERATIONS.

2017-2024 - STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (DIS)

IN THE LATE 2010S, A NEW SHOWRUNNER WAS CHOSEN BY CBS: ALEX KURTZMAN. HIS MAIN MISSION, TO BRING BACK STAR TREK ON TV. TO DO SO, HE HIRED MANY WRITERS TO WRITE A STORY DEPICTING A NEW SHIP AND CREW. IN 2017, THIS SHOW WAS RELEASED ON NETFLIX, THE FIRST EVER STAR TREK SPIN-OFF TO APPEAR ON A STREAMING PLATFORM.

TELLING THE STORIES OF A WOMAN, MICHAEL BURNHAM (SPOCK'S ADOPTIVE HUMAN SISTER) WHO LED ACCIDENTALLY THE FEDERATION INTO WAR AGAINST THE KLINGONS, 10 YEARS BEFORE THE EVENTS OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES. SHE IS THEN ABOARD THE USS DISCOVERY, A NEW SHIP EQUIPPED WITH A TOTALLY NEW SPACE DRIVE: SPORE DRIVE, USING THE SPACE MYCELLIUM NETWORK TO GET A PRECISE POINT IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. AS THE SHOW GOES ON, THE USS DISCOVERY MUST THEN GO TO THE 32RD CENTURY TO PROTECT THE GALAXY. THERE, A TOTAL NEW WORLD FACE THEM.

DISCOVERY IS A SHOW THAT DIVIDED PEOPLE IN TWO CATEGORIES: LOVE IT OR HATE IT. THE WRITERS APPROACH OF A MORE SENTIMENTAL SHOW COUPLED WITH MANY REAL LIFE PROBLEMATICS SUCH AS THE LGBTQIA+ MATTERS AND RACISM WERE THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE FANS DISSOCIATION. IT HAD 5 SEASONS OF DIFFERENT PLOTS.

2020-2023 - STAR TREK: PICARD (PIC)

INITIALLY TOLD BY PATRICK STEWART HIMSELF AT THE LAS VEGAS STAR TREK CONVENTION IN 2018, STAR TREK: PICARD WAS A MAJOR EVENT WAITED BY THOUSANDS OF FANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD: THE RETURN OF JEAN-LUC PICARD AFTER 20 YEARS NOT APPEARIING ONSCREEN. ALWAYS TOLD FOR 3 SEASONS ONLY, THE SHOW DEPICTED 3 DISTINCT STORIES. THE FIRST SEASON HAD AN AVERAGE RATING DUE TO SOME POOR EFFECTS AND STORIES. ALTHOUGH, RATINGS WERE RISING UP SEASON AFTER SEASON AND THE FINAL SEASON OF THE SHOW WAS CONSIDERED THE BEST EVER SINCE THE LATEST DAYS OF THE BERMAN ERA. MANY FANS ARE CALLING FOR A NEW SHOW BASED ON THE LAST 3RD SEASON.

2020-2024 - STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS (LD)

THE SECOND ANIMATION SERIES TO EVER GET PRODUCED, IT HAD A NICE POPULARITY AMONG FANS. THE NEW ATMOSPHERE INTO COMEDY WAS BRINGING FANS TO A NEW LEVEL INTO THE FRANCHISE. YET DESPITE ALL THE COMEDY, A REAL STORY WAS OCCURRING BEHIND THE 5 SEASONS. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME IN STAR TREK'S HISTORY AN EPISODE DEPICTED THE TIME TRAVEL OF THE USS CERRITOS CREWMEMBERS ENSIGN BECKETT MARINER AND BRAD BOIMLER AND MEETING WITH THE ORIGINAL ENTERPRISE IN THE NEW SHOW STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME WE COULD WITNESS ANIMATED CHARACTERS WITH REAL WORLD ACTORS (THEIR DUBBING ACTORS ACTUALLY).

2021-2024? - STAR TREK: PRODIGY (PRO)

SET 10 YEARS AFTER THE USS VOYAGER RETURN TO THE ALPHA QUADRANT, PRODIGY IS THE FIRST SHOW FOR KIDS (AND FIRST EVER PRODUCED WITH ANOTHER COMPANY: NICKELODEON). EXCLUSIVELY WORKED IN 3D ANIMATION, IT LET US DISCOVER STRAY KIDS OF THE DELTA QUADRANT FINDING A STARFLEET SHIP AND THEN STEALING IT TO ESCAPE FROM THEIR JAILERS. NICELY CONSIDERED, THE SHOW SUFFERS THEREFORE FROM A BAD LOVE IN THE VIACOM CBS COMPANY: FIRST PRODUCED BY NICKELODEON AND NETFLIX, IT WAS THEN BOUGHT BACK BY AMAZON PRIME VIDEO TO PRODUCE IT. THUS, IT WAS NEGLECTED AND ABANDONED UNTIL THE FULL DELETION FROM THE PARAMOUNT+ (AND AMAZON PRIME VIDEO) PLATFORMS, NETFLIX FINALLY DECIDED TO GET IT BACK TO PRODUCTION FOR A SEASON 2. NOWADAYS, NOTHING COULD TELL US IF ANOTHER SEASON WOULD APPEAR OR NOT.

2022-... - STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (SNW)

THE LATEST SHOW, SPIN-OFF OF "STAR TREK: DISCOVERY", TELLS THE STORY OF THE FINAL MISSION OF THE ENTERPRISE CAPTAINED BY CHRISTOPHER PIKE. THE SHIP DESIGN AND CREW CAST ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE DISCOVERY 3RD SEASON WHERE IT ORIGINALLY APPEARED. THIS SHOW IS STILL IN PRODUCTION.
