The lifelong Trekkie talks to The Hollywood Reporter about the franchise's six-decade staying power, how its message of "interspecies collaboration" still matters and why he believes the next generation will keep tuning in (even though he can't get his own kids to watch).
That’s a good question. There have been two attempts at targeting younger viewers in recent years, and neither seems to have made enough of an impact to stick around.
And I don’t think it’s a question of quality - Prodigy and Academy were both quite enjoyable.
There’s nothing of Roddenberry left. Star Trek died with the end of the Berman Era.
