  Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Star Trek II, IV, VI and Star Trek: First Contact are usually considered the fan-favorites, while Star Trek I and V are usually at the bottom (though I has since received quite a bit of positive re-evaluation in the wake of an acclaimed "Director's Edition" revision released on DVD).
Currently, Star Trek: Hidden Frontier which is a continuation of the timeline after the Dominion War from the perspective of a station and fleet in the Briar Patch, and Star Trek: New Voyages, a "continuation" of the original Star Trek, are prominent fan series.

 The Fascist Ideology of Star Trek -- and Firefly, the Anti-Trek
Star Trek typically reflects certain political, social, and metaphysical views, and on close examination they are not worthy of the kind of tribute that is often paid to Star Trek as representing an edifying vision of things.
Star Trek has a Utopia to picture, or at least a world free of many of the ills perceived in the present, but it doesn't have to deal with anything so inconvenient as the experience of history.
Star Trek is free to disparage religious belief and ignore traditional religions without the need to address the existential mysteries and tragedies of real life in ways that have actually meant something to the vast majority of human beings.

"Star Trek" movies have grossed more than $1 billion but the last one, "Star Trek: Nemesis," four years ago did relatively weak box office and got tepid reviews, while the last TV incarnation, "Star Trek: Enterprise," was ratings-challenged and was canceled last year.

 Star Trek V
Shatner decided that it was his turn to direct a movie, and refused to sign up for the fifth Star Trek film unless he was allowed to direct.

And, in typical Star Trek fashion, the regular characters who undergo this supposed "life-altering" emotional exposure will talk about how their entire existence has been changed, but show no signs of being any different than before.

The basic idea of Star Trek is valid and good, but I think that people won't trot out to see yet another movie about a Federation starship, it's been done to death and it's time for a break.
Star Trek TOS was an "out of the box thinking" kind of show in it's day.
The only way a new STAR TREK film will pull in both the nostalgia hard core fans and new members if its a crossover film of some sort, a new cast in an adventure propelled or inspired by veteran members such as Kirk and Spock and maybe some cameos by DS9 or other series regulars.

Wrath is generally considered to be the best of all the Star Trek movies, and I personally would agree that it is among the very best (though I slightly prefer VI and Nemesis).

Surely what we want from William Shatner, actor, director and Star Trek star, is more a true memoir of his own personal relationships with the other members of the cast (good or bad), and to recall some of the laughter as well as the tears that took place while they were filming.
"Star Trek Memories", this book's predecessor, managed a better mix of stories from behind and in front of the camera, although in fairness there is already an inherent romanticism about the 1960s television industry which was to that book's advantage.
