Synopsis

The Center Seat II: 60 Years of Star Trek chronicles Star Trek’s passing of the baton from Kirk and crew to the cast of The Next Generation as they make the leap from the small screen to the big screen. Then watch as JJ. Abrams’ three picture “Kelvin Timeline” sends a ripple through the Star Trek Universe - for better or worse. The inside scoop comes directly from the stars who were there, like Leonard Nimoy, Jonathan Frakes, F. Murray Abraham, Brent Spiner Walter Koenig, James Cromwell, Malcolm McDowell, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Alice Kriege, Deep Roy, and more with narration by Gates McFadden.

E1 It Was Fun... Oh My!

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?

E3 Bring Spoons

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.

E4 Live Long and Reboot

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?

E5 A Dead Tribble & A Dirt Bike

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.
