As the most inclusive and broad american science fiction theme, the longest spanning time, and the longest playing time series, "Star Trek" is only one "Doctor Who" from the top position of science fiction theme!
Originally proposed by screenwriter Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s, the series has evolved over the course of nearly 50 years to become one of the world's most famous science fiction film and television series. The Star Trek series has been broadcast since its launch in 1965, with its huge composition of 6 TV series, 1 animated film and 13 movies. Become an indispensable presence in European and American science fiction themes!
Star Trek has been able to sustain itself for so many years because of the result of its wide net. With a finger pinch, the series and film series featuring the human beings of the earth are roughly divided into five large systems:
No.1, the most famous "original series" today
This series is the beginning of the Star Trek series. It premiered on NBC on September 8, 1966, and was produced by Gene Roddenberry and starred William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Deforest Kelley.
With the events and characters on the battleship "Enterprise" as the main narrative, the series has undergone many cuts and restarts, but as an opening episode, it has not lost its reputation.
The film version of the "Primordial" trilogy, which aired in 2011, is a prequel film of this series. The series "Star Trek: Discovery", launched in 2017, is in response to the reboot of the "Original Trilogy" movie version of the series, setting the stage for the sister ship "Discovery" of "Enterprise" (of which the protagonist of "Discovery" is the nominal sister of "Enterprise" co-captain Spock, at the same time, paving the way for Captain Cook and Spock to meet!
no2. Next Generation Series
Set about a century after the end of the Star Trek: Primal Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation (abbreviated as St: TNG or TNG) depicts the story of The Enterprise's fourth successor, the Enterprise-d (ncc-1701-d), and a new crew of crew members who followed the unfinished business of their predecessors. The series began with the first episode of "Encounter at Farpoint" in 1987, followed by seven seasons, ending in 1994's final episode of "All good Things..." ）。
In fact, this system is the mainstay of the position of Star Trek in the American television drama circle.
This series established Captain Picard's position in the Interstellar Alliance, and also allowed Patrick Stewart to truly enter the audience's sight. Before Professor X could get into the audience's mind, Patrick had been with the picard character for decades.
This was followed by the Deep Space Nine series (1993–1999), which lasted for 7 seasons and 176 episodes;
Voyager (1995-2001), 7 seasons and 172 episodes in total;
Enterprise (2001-2005), a total of 4 episodes, 98 episodes, its own reputation is the lowest in the series.
……
Therefore, there are five battleships as the main body of the narrative to build such a grand theme structure!
Unlike Doctor Strange, which lives a little longer than him, Star Trek is the epitome of a large group of organizations, not the home of a protagonist who is well-versed in various professional knowledge. In general, Star Trek is a large group drama plot, through the Earth as the main participating force of the Interstellar Alliance as the main body, and other interstellar federations united or opposed to them, sometimes opposed and sometimes cooperative, maintaining the overall interstellar situation generally stable.
Of course, this is a special product of the Cold War period, and in the early stage of production, in order to do positive propaganda for European and American space policy, the basic style of "to open up, to be peaceful" was set for the entire series. With the pride of actively expanding horizons in the Western "Age of Great Navigation", we will show the audience the most splendid refinement of outer space, the customs and customs of different customs, and other ways that are different from the way of human existence, and show them in the most humane way, so as to ease the tense Cold War atmosphere at that time!
Therefore, the early plot focuses on the peaceful exploration process of the Interstellar Federation for outer space, and sees those different interstellar legends. They are peaceful, outward-looking and will not resort to force unless they have to.
Later, after the millennium, in order to highlight the entertainment, the plot began to increase the confrontation. Especially after the release of the movie "Star Trek: The Original Series", the guardian power of the Interstellar Federation and the destructive power against the Federation became intense. The original spectacular display of space has become a display of large-scale battle scenes, so the hunting nature of "Star Trek" has gradually begun to transform into a large-scale war scene.
The "Original Series" trilogy, as well as the later "Star Trek: Discovery" and other movies or series, will take the concept of war peacekeeping to attract audiences, replace the previous peaceful exploration with large-scale war scenes with the blessing of fine special effects, and attract audiences with cosmic wonders!
Directed by Jonathan Fricks and starring Patrick Stewart, Santiago Cabrera, Alison Peel, Michelle Hurd and others, Star Trek: Picard is set to follow the core story of the Star Trek series, with a timeline of 18 years after the 2002 episode Star Trek 10.
Picard is old, and although he still retains the ambition to explore and maintain order across the stars, his eighty-year-old physical condition can no longer bear his ideas.
After all, he didn't have the blood of Captain Cook next door, and at this age, his physical state really couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
So, most of now, he spends his days on a warm and humid farm. He will even be stuck in nostalgia for the past for a long time! This signal is released to the audience, so that the audience can also realize that his thinking has begun to age and cannot keep up with the rhythm.
But trouble still found the door.
A girl named Dash, an ordinary girl, is enjoying the most ordinary two-person world with her boyfriend. However, a mysterious killer descends from the sky to kill her boyfriend and attempt to kidnap her. The girl who originally didn't know anything seemed to be reactivated at a certain moment, turning from a silly white sweet to a super agent, and solved all the trained killers in a show of hands.
Dash didn't know how he could do this, and subconsciously went to Picard to find the reason. However, Picard himself did not know why. At this time, more Romulan killers followed, and Although Dash had excellent combat skills, he was still outnumbered and died with his opponents.
Picard, who survived by chance, returned to reality from his chaotic memories and began to trace through Dash the subject of artificial man, which was forcibly banned by the Interstellar Alliance. Because, in his memory, only the artificial man who was his deputy, and who died to save him, Lieutenant Colonel Data, has the ideas and technologies he has today.
Being able to make artificial so close to a real person. (From beginning to end, Dash never felt like a synthetic human, but considered himself a pure natural human!) ）
As Picard pursues, there seems to be a deliberately hidden secret within the Federation. In order to uncover this secret, Picard needs to drag the old remnants of his body and continue to travel between the stars, looking for the whole thing.
Moreover, this time he did not have the support of the Interstellar Alliance, and even in terms of behavior, he was against the will of the Interstellar Alliance!
The whole thing actually involves an unspeakable national tradition in the entire "Star Trek" - the Star Alliance's long-term rival, the Romulan Empire, as a strong existence, but destroyed in a super-supernova explosion. (Here, Star Trek cited the event in 2011.) ）
The Interstellar Alliance, under the initiative of the Enterprise, saved some of the inhabitants of the Romulan Empire, but because of the high-level decisions of the Interstellar Alliance, Ambassador Spock's rescue plan failed, and the rescue number that could have been further exaggerated was cut off halfway, and the entire planet of Romulan was destroyed by the big explosion.
And this hatred has become the trigger for many events, and the villain of the first season of Star Trek is the remnants of the Romulan Empire, who wants to avenge the entire Empire, so he destroys Spock's home planet, Vulcan Star.
Picard's story focuses on another aspect of Romulan, the imperial tradition, resisting any artificial intelligence. And Dash's appearance is to challenge the tradition that he and all the surrounding forces have adhered to for thousands of years, and it is a kind of provocation against them in his bones.
Picard must find out who uses Lieutenant Colonel Darta's ideas and body neurons to create Dash and her unactivated sister, two twin artificialoids. Moreover, it is also necessary to face the obstruction of some people who have been infiltrated and deteriorated within the Interstellar Alliance.
Moreover, it seems that the Romulan Empire's creation and prevention of artificial humans this time is still a big conspiracy within the entire Interstellar Alliance!
And, outside of Picard, more people are already in the situation.
After all, the Romulan Empire, as a series of villains in the overall plot, such a conspiracy that has lasted for decades, still has a lot of details that need to be put together to slowly piece together before it is fully revealed!
At the very least, Dash's memory twin sister, and the little Romulan handsome man who appeared next to her, were a long-term operation object with a long ambush!
And the forces represented by these two people, after finally merging with Picard, whether they will merge with each other and fight side by side, or fight against each other first, it depends on the development of the plot in the future!
