At the point at which we have wireless connections for headphones, computers, and countless other gizmos, could we imagine some future date in which the tech of EVA suits might be replaced with something a little less analog? In 1973, in the first episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series - "Beyond the Farthest Star" - the crew of the USS Enterprise rocked something called "Life Support Belts" instead of straight-up spacesuits.

But among all of that, there has not been a new theatrical film at all, despite the fact that there have been many promises made that a new Trek feature was coming at warp speed. By now, fans know that development on a new Trek feature hasn't just been slow, but perhaps is an illusory trick created by Q or Trelane. So, with the announcement of yet another new Star Trek film project, is there any reason for hope?

Then one day, in 2007, I was at a punk gig when a mutual friend said, Oh, do you know Tom Box? He's over there. He's just moved up to Wellington. There in a sea of black-clad punks, jumping up and down at the front of the mosh pit, was this guy in a pale blue Star Trek uniform. To me, as a person unfamiliar with Star Trek, he looked like he was wearing pyjamas.

From the daring and dashing Captain Kirk on "Star Trek," to a no-nonsense police sergeant on "T.J. Hooker," to his Emmy-winning turn as the eccentric lawyer Denny Crane on "Boston Legal," William Shatner has been a Hollywood icon for decades.

In the sixth episode of Strange New Worlds Season 3, the famous spaceship from Doctor Who is tangled with the USS Enterprise, signifying a cross-franchise Easter egg.

Fifteen years after J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek, the franchise continues to thrive with projects like Strange New Worlds, but the film universe struggles to progress.

James T. Kirk quickly makes an appearance via a log he records in his capacity as the first officer of the Farragut. Kirk's condition: bored.

Ensign Gamble conveys enthusiasm for his first mission but foreshadows dramatic changes, highlighting the tension between excitement and impending tragedy as they explore ancient technology.

The episode "The Best of Both Worlds" is not merely about Picard's capture by the Borg; it's fundamentally a story centered on Riker's growth and challenges.

Amazon is offering the newly reissued Star Trek 10-Movie Collection on Blu-ray for just $48.29, the best price seen for the revamped box set.
