Star Trek is an American science-fiction franchise spanning six television series and ten feature films (with an eleventh film currently in the early stages of development as of 2006), in addition to hundreds of novels, computer and video games, fan stories, and other works of fiction. All are set within the same fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry during the mid-1960s. Since its debut, Star Trek has become one of the most popular names in the history of science fiction entertainment, and one of the most popular franchises in television history, as well as popular culture.

Star Trek depicts an optimistic utopian future where humanity has united with other sentient species in the galaxy. The central characters are members of the United Federation of Planets, who explore the galaxy, encountering new worlds and civilizations. The protagonists are essentially altruistic; however, the nature of the Galaxy is conflict. Many alien species abound in the universe, who try by military might, or by subterfuge, to destroy the Federation. Starfleet, the scientific, exploratory, and military arm of the Federation does its best to protect the UFP from alien threats.

Television series


Star Trek originated as a television series in 1966, although it had been in the planning stages for at least six years prior to thatThe Making of Star Trek by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry. Although the show was cancelled in its third season due to low ratings, its success allowed it to serve as the inspiration for five additional Star Trek television series. Altogether, the six televisions series comprise a total of 726 episodes and thirty seasons worth of television.

I watched Star Trek (2009) on Bluray last night. Great movie! It's the first time I've seen it since my dad and I saw it in the theater.
