While on NBC, Star Trek's Nielsen ratings were low and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. In the United Kingdom the series was not broadcast until July 12, 1969, coinciding with the Apollo 11 mission to land the first humans on the Moon.
The cancelation machine NBC's biggest concerns were ratings, but it was also concerned with demographics. Star Trek actually performed well with what would now be considered key demographics; however, these were not considered quality demographics of the era, resulting in less faith in the network.
It quickly became a sensation, but the budget was too high and the ratings weren't high enough. After battling creator Gene Roddenberry, NBC scheduled Star Trek in a graveyard timeslot for Season 3, and it was canceled.
Summary. UPN canceled Star Trek: Enterprise due to low ratings and a lack of network support for the series. Enterprise season 4 involved a creative shift with Manny Coto taking over as showrunner, but it couldn't save the series from cancelation.
TOS episodes "The Empath," "Whom Gods Destroy," "Plato's Stepchildren," and "Miri" were all banned. Although TNG's "Conspiracy" may be the most well-known episode to have been banned, this kind of censoring wasn't new to Star Trek.
At the time, Entertainment Weekly was calling Discovery “woke” for daring to feature an African-American female lead actress, somewhere Star Trek had not gone before. Now, with LOWER DECKS, we've got TWO series with lead actresses who are both Black and female.
NCC is the Starfleet abbreviation for "Naval Construction Contract", comparable to what the U.S. Navy would call a hull number. Jefferies rejected 3, 6, 8, and 9 as "too easily confused" on screen; he eventually reasoned the Enterprise was the first vessel of Starfleet's 17th starship design, hence 1701.
Star Trek's rights at the time were split across CBS and Paramount, so even if Disney wanted to buy Trek it would have to pick two companies (who weren't looking to sell) to have total control.
Star Trek aired on NBC from September 8, 1966, to June 3, 1969. It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada's CTV network. While on NBC, Star Trek's Nielsen ratings were low and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes.
Is Star Trek 4 still happening? Yes, Star Trek 4 is in "active development," but currently lacks a director. While progress has been slow, there's still hope for the movie's eventual release.
Summary. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a day is measured as 26 hours, which is based on Bajoran time. This is because DS9 orbited Bajor and needed synchronized clocks for communication and travel purposes. The use of "26 hours" as a standard measurement of time in DS9 was unique to the show and not a random decision.
Star Trek: The Original Series was seen as a "failure" due to its high production cost, but it went on to become a cult classic and set the foundation for the franchise's success. Series creator Gene Roddenberry was a challenging person to work with, leading to conflicts and the cancellation of the original series.
#1 – Captain Jean-Luc Picard – Star Trek: The Next Generation. Captain Picard, played by Sir Patrick Stewart, is widely considered the best captain in Star Trek history. He is a skilled diplomat, philosopher, and strategist who values diplomacy and the Prime Directive.
Jefferies rejected 3, 6, 8, and 9 as "too easily confused" on screen; he eventually reasoned the Enterprise was the first vessel of Starfleet's 17th starship design, hence 1701. The Making of Star Trek explains that USS means "United Space Ship" and that "Enterprise is a member of the Starship Class".
'USS' in Trek doesn't mean 'United STATES Starship', it's meaning has never been explicitly explained on screen. But is generally considered to stand for 'United SYSTEMS Starship', although initially it was just going to be 'United Star Ship'.
In the episode "The 37's", Tom Paris tells Amelia Earhart that Warp 9.9 is about 4 billion miles per second (using customary units for the character's benefit). That is more than 14 times the value of Warp 9 and equal to around 21,400 times speed of light.
Dilithium may be a fictional crystal from Star Trek, but in that world, it is composed of traditional baryonic matter (which is the stuff all the atoms and elements on the periodic table are made of) as well as complex subatomic particles which exist in subspace that allow the crystalline structure to form.
By that standard, he concludes, a warp drive is very unlikely. In order to travel at faster-than-light speeds, a warp drive would have to expand space behind a spacecraft and contract space in front, creating a warp bubble that surrounds the vessel.
Summary. The appearance of Klingons in Star Trek has evolved over time, with the original series using minimal makeup due to their tight budget. Later series introduced cranial ridges, and Discovery created a more alien look for the Klingons.
Who is the nonbinary character on Star Trek: Discovery?

Why are there no Klingons in Star Trek: Discovery?
The Klingons vanished after the second season of Discovery, probably because the people in charge had recognized the complete redesign was unpopular. All members of the species that appeared in Lower Decks, Prodigy and Picard were TMP-Klingons.
