Why do Star Trek fans argue so fiercely about what “real Star Trek” is? Maybe it’s not really about canon, captains, ships, or continuity. Maybe every generation simply discovered a different Star Trek.
In this Trek World video, Jim breaks down how Star Trek has changed from The Original Series to The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, the Kelvin movies, Discovery, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Picard, Strange New Worlds, and Starfleet Academy — and why each era was shaped by the audience it was trying to reach.
From Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and beyond, every generation gets its own Enterprise, its own captain, and its own version of the future. And that might be exactly why Star Trek has survived for nearly 60 years.
