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.
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.
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.
As mentioned, Star Trek was always a show in trouble despite quickly finding a passionate audience. Desilu was going deep into debt because of the co-financing arrangement, almost canceling the show itself. The ratings were solid, but not as high as NBC wanted them to be.
Star Trek is not a franchise you'd normally associate with controversy. Nevertheless, between 1969 and 1994, four episodes of the original series - Empath, Whom Gods Destroy, Plato's Stepchildren and Miri - were not aired on the BBC, and other episodes were heavily redacted.
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.
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.
“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” currently in production on its third season, has been renewed by Paramount+ for Season 4. Meanwhile, “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” the first animated “Star Trek” comedy, will conclude its run on the streamer with its fifth season, which will debut in the fall.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 is the final outing for the crew that brought the universe back to television, and it's a mixed blessing. Season 5 will allow the crew of the USS Discovery to end their mission on a high note, leaving the door open for a return.
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.
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.
Why was Star Trek: Voyager cancelled? It wasn't cancelled. It completed a very distinct story arc that had a definitive and successful (for the crew) closure after seven years. The story was simply completed.
Three Star Trek Series Leaving Netflix | Fandom. I read an article on Daily Star Trek News that Decider.com stated that Star Trek- The Orginal Series, Star Trek- Voyager and Star Trek- Enterprise are leaving Netflix at the end of September.
Ambassador Spock was born in 2230 and lived until 2387 in the alternate timeline, he was cast back in time to 2258 and lived an additional five years until 2263. 2387–2230=157, 157+5 = 162. He died at approximately age 161 and 361 days.
Comparatively, Lt. Spock was only 29 in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1. Spock was born in 2230 on Vulcan, and he is about 36 in Star Trek: The Original Series when Spock is portrayed by Leonard Nimoy.
Unlike returning characters from the original Star Trek series, like Spock and Uhura, Kirk is not a common sight in Strange New Worlds. He was not part of the main cast, and when he did appear, he was largely a different person.
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?
Blu del Barrio (born September 15, 1997) is an American actor, best known for playing Adira Tal in Star Trek: Discovery. They are the first openly non-binary actor, playing the first non-binary role in Star Trek.
“After the last one came out and didn't do the $1 billion that everyone wanted it to do, and then Anton—Yelchin, who played Chekov—passed away, I don't know,” Pine said. “It just seemed... feels like it's cursed.”
William Shatner recently told Canadian Press that he wouldn't rule out returning as Captain Kirk in a new “Star Trek” project if the script impressed him. While the actor's age might pose an issue as Shatner turned 93 years old in March, that's nothing a bit of de-aging technology couldn't fix.
Is Chris Pine going to make another Star Trek movie?
In March 2024, it was reported that Steve Yockey – who developed The Flight Attendant – had become the latest writer to tackle a new draft for the movie, which is intended to bring back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldaña.
