It Took Star Trek 61 Episodes To Drop One Of Its First Major Tropes

Since the Star Trek franchise has changed immeasurably in the years since The Original Series wrapped up, it might be hard for fans to believe how long it took the show to drop one element of its reliable formula early on. The Star Trek franchise has no new shows in production right now, but this is partially an inevitable result of how incredibly prolific the series has been in the years since its last theatrical movie, 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, was released.
