'''''Star Trek: The Animated Series''''' was produced by [[Filmation]] and ran for two seasons. Most of the original cast performed the voices of their characters from ''The Original Series'' as well as many of the original series' writers like [[DC Fontana]]. Larger and more exotic alien landscapes and lifeforms were featured, however animation and soundtrack quality, with the liberal re-use of shots and musical cues as well as occasional animation errors, has detracted from the reputation of the series.<ref>Andy Dursin review of DVD release at [http://www.andyfilm.com/11-14-06.html The Aisle Seat]</ref> Although originally sanctioned by [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] (who became the owners of the Star Trek franchise following its acquisition of [[Desilu]] in [[1967]]), the series is not considered to be [[Canon (Star Trek)|canon]]. Even so, elements of the animated series have been used by writers in later live-action series and movies (e.g. Kirk's middle name, Tiberius, made official in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]''), and elements thus incorporated are canon. ''TAS'' came back to television in the mid-[[1980s]] on the children's cable network [[Nickelodeon (TV Channel)|Nickelodeon]], and in the early [[1990s]] on cable network [[Sci Fi Channel (United States)|Sci-Fi Channel]] and was released to [[DVD]] in [[2006]].<ref name="TAS">[http://www.sciencefictionbuzz.com/startrekanimated.html Star Trek Animated — The Series that ran from 1973–1974] URL accessed [[August 21]], [[2006]]</ref> |

'''''Star Trek: Phase II''''' was set to air in [[1978]] as the flagship series of a proposed Paramount television network, and 12 episode scripts were written before production was due to begin.<ref name="Phase II">[http://www.sciencefictionbuzz.com/startrekphaseII.html Star Trek Phase II, Planned but never executed Star Trek Series] URL accessed [[August 21]], 2006</ref> The series would have put most of the original crew back aboard the ''[[Starship Enterprise|Enterprise]]'' for a second five-year mission, except for [[Leonard Nimoy]] as [[Spock]], who did not agree to return. A younger, full-blooded [[Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]] named Xon was planned as a replacement, although it was still hoped that Nimoy would make guest appearances.<ref name="Phase II"/> Sets were constructed and several minutes of test footage were filmed. However, the risks of launching a fourth network and the popularity of the then-recently released film ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars]]'' led Paramount to make a Star Trek film instead of a weekly television series.

''Enterprise'' showed the origins of several features that would become common in the sequel series, such as the inventing of new technologies, primarily the [[static warp bubble]], and first contact with new species, such as the Klingons. For the first two seasons ''Enterprise'' was episodic, like the original series and ''The Next Generation''. During the third and fourth seasons, the series used long story arcs spanning several episodes at a time. Ratings for ''Enterprise'' started strong, but declined rapidly. The show continued to lose ratings during the third season, and Paramount cancelled the show in early 2005.

Star Trek is an American science fiction entertainment franchise. The Star Trek fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry is the setting of six television series including the original 1966 Star Trek, in addition to ten feature films (with an eleventh in pre-production), dozens of computer and video games, hundreds of novels and other fan stories, as well as a themed attraction in Las Vegas. The TV series alone is said to be one of the biggest cult phenomena of modern times.
In the Star Trek "universe", humanity developed faster-than-light space travel following a post-apocalyptic period in the mid-21st century. Later, humans united with other sentient species of the galaxy to form the United Federation of Planets. As a result of alien intervention and science, humanity largely overcame many Earth-bound frailties and vices by the twenty-third century. Star Trek stories usually depict the adventures of human and alien beings who serve in the Federation's Starfleet.
The protagonists are essentially altruists whose ideals are sometimes only imperfectly applied to the dilemmas presented in the series. The conflicts and political dimensions of Star Trek form allegories for contemporary cultural realities; the original Star Trek television series addressed issues of the 1960s, just as later spin-offs have reflected issues of their respective eras. Issues depicted in the various series include war and peace, authoritarianism, imperialism, class warfare, racism, human rights, sexism and feminism,[1] and the role of technology.
STAR TREK SUCKS!!!
Feature films
Paramount Pictures has produced ten Star Trek feature films, with an eleventh in pre-production. The first six films continue the adventures of the The Original Series cast, while the next four feature The Next Generation's cast. Although North American and UK releases of the films were no longer numbered following the sixth film, European releases continued numbering the films. An eleventh film, simply titled Star Trek, has been announced for release on Christmas Day, 2008, to be written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and produced and directed by Lost creator J.J. Abrams.[2] The film has been rumoured to focus on the early lives of Captain James T Kirk and Mr Spock.
A common sentiment among fans is that the even-numbered Star Trek films are superior to the odd-numbered Star Trek films (the so-called "Star Trek movie curse"); the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth films are considered fan favorites, whereas the first and fifth are often called the worst films.[3]
Cultural impact
The Star Trek franchise is a multi-billion dollar industry, currently owned by CBS.[4] Gene Roddenberry sold Star Trek to NBC as a classic adventure drama; he pitched the show as "Wagon Train to the stars" and as Horatio Hornblower in space. Though set on a fictional starship, Roddenberry wanted to tell more sophisticated stories using futuristic situations as analogies to current problems on Earth and rectifying them through humanism and optimism.[5] The opening line, "to boldly go where no man has gone before", was taken almost verbatim from a US White House booklet on space produced after the Sputnik flight in 1957.[6] The central trio of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy was modeled on classical mythological storytelling. Harking of human diversity and contemporaneous political circumstances, Roddenberry included a multi-ethnic crew.[5]
Star Trek and its spin-offs have proved highly popular in television repeats, and are currently shown on TV stations worldwide.[7] The show’s cultural impact goes far beyond its longevity and profitability. Star Trek conventions have become popular, though now are often merged with conventions of other genres and series, and fans have coined the term "Trekkies" to describe themselves. An entire subculture has grown up around the show.[8]
The Star Trek franchise is believed to have motivated the design of many current technologies, including the Tablet PC, the PDA, mobile phones, and the MRI (based on Dr. McCoy's diagnostic table).[9] It has also brought to popular attention the concept of teleportation with its classic depiction of "matter-energy transport". Phrases such as "Beam me up, Scotty" have entered the public vernacular.[10] In 1976, following a letter-writing campaign, NASA named its prototype space shuttle Enterprise, after the fictional starship.[11]
The city of Garland, Texas has the only known official place name based on the TV series: "Star Trek Lane," located off of Apollo Road and east of North Jupiter Road.[12] An unincorporated area near the Las Vegas Strip contains a residential street named "Roddenberry Avenue". While the "official" address lists the avenue as being located in Las Vegas, Nevada, the actual location is an unincorporated township called "Enterprise". There is no indication that the township's name has any connection with the Star Trek series, and it is unknown whether or not the street name is a deliberate tribute to the Star Trek creator.[13]
Parodies of Star Trek include the internet-based cartoon series Stone Trek and the song "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm.
Current status and future
After Enterprise was canceled in 2005, the Star Trek franchise found itself for the first time in over 25 years without a series or film in production or development. In April 2006, the official announcement of an eleventh feature film made it probable that the franchise has not yet ended.
In 2006, CBS Paramount Domestic Television began syndicating an enhanced version of the original 79 Star Trek episodes. State-of-the-art visual effects replaced those in the series (created in-house by CBS), the original theme music has been re-recorded, and the show was transferred from the original negatives in high definition. The show will eventually be syndicated in HD.[14]
Also in 2006, CBS has announced that it is considering a new animated series that will likely debut as several 6-minute episodes available online. The series is to be set 150 years after the Star Trek: The Next Generation time line, during a time of upheaval and strife in the Federation. The Romulans have used several "Omega Particle" explosions to render much of Federation space impassable by traditional Federation vessels. Many Federation worlds have been isolated, and some races, including the Vulcans, have withdrawn from the Federation altogether. The series is, as yet, untitled and there has been no full confirmation.[15]
On January 19, 2007, CBS announced that its newly-formed home entertainment unit would begin releasing the remastered episodes on Blu-Ray Disc and HD-DVD before the end of 2007.[16]
Perpetual Entertainment is also developing a MMOG based on Star Trek called Star Trek Online. IDW Publishing have also bought the rights to the comic book.[17] The original series' characters are also featured in a manga.
