Space. The final frontier. Since Star Trek: The Original Series premiered on September 8, 1966, audiences have been captivated by the idea of a bright future where traveling to strange new worlds with advanced technology was possible. For some fans, Star Trek isn't just a franchise; it's an entire universe of possibility. Part of that is the cool tech, including some of the starships. Another part is the vast array of alien cultures and intergalatic politics. However, one of the greatest elements of the Star Trek franchise is its characters. Even casual viewers have at least a cursory knowledge of Captain James T. Kirk, Spock, and Uhura. Those classic characters became even more prominent with the introduction of the Star Trek Kelvin Timeline films.
