The Center Seat II: 60 Years of Star Trek

Paramount brings The Next Generation back to cinemas, with Stewart and Shatner sharing the spotlight. Can two Enterprise captains coexist, or will the experiment fail?

After Generations succeeds, Paramount goes warp speed into First Contact. With no Kirk and Jonathan Frakes directing his first feature, can Trek thrive without Shatner as the Borg hits the big screen?

First Contact proves the franchise can thrive without Kirk, but rushed schedules threaten Insurrection. Then Nemesis pits Picard against Tom Hardy in Trek's most unexpected showdown.

After Nemesis stumbles, Rick Berman gets the axe and J.J. Abrams is tapped to take over. But can a non-fan save the franchise with an alternate Trek timeline?

J.J. Abrams' Trek reboot is a hit, but as Star Wars secretly beckons, can he deliver on the sequel? And Justin Lin takes the helm for the Kelvin Timeline's likely final voyage.
