Nevertheless, the progression fromThe Original SeriestoThe Next GenerationtoVoyagersuggestedStar Trekwould always follow one main ship in each successive era.
SinceStar Trek: Voyagerended21 years ago,the number of onscreen releases under theStar Trekbanner has exploded.
Indeed, the exact opposite happened.
J.J. Abrams took a sideways step by remakingThe Original Series' era at the movies with a brand-new cast.
Eventually, that premise proved untenable andStar Trek: Discoverywas forced to relocate into the future.
The trend shows little sign of ending anytime soon.
Since 2009,Star Trek’s live-action output has rested firmly upon familiarity.
Especially when the alternatives are re-recasting Spock or phoning up Patrick Stewart.
Star Trek: Legacywould unquestionably become the fourth “original recipe” entry in the franchise.
