What Took So Long...why we're only getting a new movie now...

[Kruezerman]

There have been 703 (I think?) episodes of Star Trek.

Laid end to end, it spans 28 television seasons.

If you watched The Cage this week, and watched one new episode a week, you would watch These Are The Voyages... the week of June 21, 2026.

If you conceived a child after watching The Cage, they would be in 8th grade when you ended the tradition.

There have been more movies with Star Trek in the title than any other franchise besides Friday the 13th (12) or James Bond (23). In May, Star Trek will be tied for 2nd.

If it were one series it would be the most successful television series in American history beating Gunsmoke by almost 70 episodes. I don't count WWE Raw because it's shit.

Brilliant.

Trek fans can be so ungrateful sometimes. How many Trek series do we already have? How many movies do we already have?

Now, how many other franchises in the history of TV and movies have anywhere near that amount of stuff? Plenty of very popular shows never come back. I'm not saying you have to be happy with the direction modern Trek is taking, but you should feel lucky that Trek didn't end forever back in the 60s, because it very easily could have.

It's no wonder that there are jokes about trekies never getting laid.

This.

If I get an urge to watch Trek between new movies I own more than enough of it on various home formats to keep me busy for a long time.
