Review – Star Trek SceneIt? DVD Trivia Game

| March 12, 2009 | By: John Tenuto 69 comments so far

Star Trek SceneIt? There are many nice game play features of the "Scene It? Star Trek Edition," especially that the board game "transforms" and allows for either a quick game (about 15 minutes) or a traditional game (about 40 minutes). Also, there is a "Party Play" feature which is great either for solo play or play with larger groups. The feature plays one puzzle or scene with questions after another on the DVD without using the remote or game board.

There are two editions of Star Trek Scene It? available: Standard and Deluxe. While game play is the same, there are differences between the two in packaging and items. The standard edition features a cool box with the five captains featured. Its game pieces of the starships are plastic and its dice are small. The deluxe edition features two tins, one with the captains, and the other with the starships. Also, the deluxe edition has more question cards, and its dice are bigger. The starship game pieces are metalized instead of plastic.

How to Play "Scene It? Star Trek Edition" is a hybrid DVD and board game based on trivia questions from all six television shows (animated show is included) and the 10 feature films. Players roll two dice (one that tells you how far to move your game piece and one that tells you what kind of question you are going to have to answer). If you get a trivia card question, you will have to either answer a green "United Federation of Planets" question (about aliens, ships, planets, etc.), a red "Stardate" question (events), or a yellow IDIC question (the popular culture world of Star Trek). If you get a DVD question, you will either have to answer a "My Play" question by yourself or a "All Play" question where players compete to get the answer first and take control of the game.

One of the best features of the game play is the variety of questions that are asked on the DVD. Sometimes players must answer trivia questions based on scenes from films or episodes. Other times there are very challenging word jumbles that must be deciphered. There are "scanning" questions where images of favorite characters are distorted which players must properly identify. Also, there are places, events, or names hidden behind Klingon script which are revealed letter by letter and must be guessed. One of the most fun and challenging questions is an almost "Password" like set of clues which help players identify characters from the shows. When players select the DVD, the game travels around the bridge of the Enterprise D until it stops at a station. At the stations are various types of questions to answer. What is nice is that some questions require almost no previous knowledge of Star Trek so that nonfans could play, and there are some challenges for serious fans.

Here is a list of the types of DVD questions (with a couple of screencaps below):

  • Who Am I?  — This question involves providing four clues and players guessing the character, alien, planet or object described. This is best for serious fans
  • Energize — Players must guess which character has been removed from the photo from episodes or movies. Both casual and serious fans could answer these questions.
  • Sensor Readings — Players are shown a very distorted image of a ship which eventually clears. Players need to guess which starship, which is a challenge for casual or nonfans.
  • Finish the Line  — Players experience a scene from an episode or feature film. They are given a choice of possible next lines spoken by a character and must guess the proper answer. This is best for serious fans, although casual or nonfans could guess!
  • Mind Meld — The names of characters are jumbled and constantly change with players trying to guess the answer. This is challenge for all kinds of players
  • Spatial Anomaly  — Players are shown a distorted image of a character which must be guessed. The characters are usually well known, though difficult to guess because of the distortion, and this makes this a good question for all kinds of players.
  • Questions based on scenes — Players experience a scene from a movie or television episode. There will be a question based on the scene or from the episode or feature film. If the question is from the scene, then all players could answer. If the question if from the episode, but not the scene, this is best for serious fans.
  • First Contact — Players must guess from a pixelized picture the alien group. This best for serious and casual fans.
  • Captain’s Log — Players hear a captain’s log played and must guess the episode or feature film. This is challenging for all kinds of players.
  • What’s Missing? — The players must guess which item should be featured. This is challenging for nonfans, yet easier for serious or casual fans.
  • Coded Transmission — The player is shown a coded transmission featuring a word from Star Trek lore. This is best for serious fans.

Winning involves answering "Final Frontier" questions first before opponents take control of the game again.

Star Trek SceneIt? Captures Star Trek Themes Sometimes games that are themed around a popular culture item like Star Trek fail to take advantage of the characters or ideas from the show or feature films in the game itself. This is not at all a problem with "Scene It? Star Trek Edition" which has many fun Star Trek features. That this is a Star Trek is never forgotten in this game, and all the versions of Star Trek are nicely represented. For example, if two or more players answer a "All Play" question at the same time, a Romulan Warbird must be destroyed utilizing the DVD’s tie-breaker feature. The playing pieces are the Defiant, the Enterprise, the Enterprise D, and Voyager (although it would have been nice to include the option of playing as the NX-01 for Enterprise fans). The entire game has a LCARs feel to it, and especially enjoyable are the starting mini music video and the montage that is played when a player wins (there is a perfect use of a scene from "Generations" during this victory celebration!). Even Star Trek fans themselves are included as some of the questions were written by fans and they are given credit on the trivia cards.

Special notice must be made of Mattel and ScreenLife’s decision to utilize Judi Durand as the voice of the computer in the game. An accomplished voice actress, Durand has played voices in such films as Lilo & Stitch , yet Star Trek fans know her as the voice of the Cardassian computers on DS9 and the voice of spacedock in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock . She was also the voice of the Federation computers in many of the Star Trek video games. Durand’s voice is uncannily like Majel Barrett’s distinctive voice, so much so that it wasn’t until I engaged the credits of the game that I realized it wasn’t Majel. While no one can replace Majel, Durand’s voice work is amazingly familiar and commendable.

There is something very comforting to what might be called a "Franchise Fan" like myself to see the visage of all five captains on the Scene It? game box. I enjoy all versions of Star Trek and have never gotten into the debate of which is better. While certainly criticizable, my opinion has always been that Trek is Trek, and I have enjoyed them all. Many fans enjoy more than one version of Star Trek, and this game is perfect for anyone who enjoys DS9 and TNG, or which ever combination because all versions are represented nicely.

Star Trek SceneIt? Works for all audiences There are many potential audiences for this game. How might different audiences experience the game?

THE SERIOUS FAN (seen all the Trek there is, knows all the Trek there is) For the serious fan who knows it all, there are plenty of challenging and fun questions here. No matter how much you know Star Trek and its characters, puzzlers like the word jumble are going to be a challenge. There are questions on the cards of varying difficulties, so there will be plenty of new information to learn.

THE CASUAL FAN (seen most versions of Trek, knows most of the main characters) Many of the same reasons why serious fans can enjoy the game are also reasons why the casual fan can enjoy the game. Questions have varying difficulties, and DVD questions such as the "scanning" (identify the character) or word jumble require only a passing familiarity with the show. Casual fans will not feel lost or at a disadvantage in this game.

THE NON FAN (or those who have yet to see the light) Non fan spouses or friends can also enjoy the game because of its fun playability. My son is 6 years old and although a fan, he was able to answer questions without years of indoctrination to Star Trek. Plus, many of the DVD questions featuring scenes are self-contained questions, meaning the question is based on the scene players have just experienced, and therefore no knowledge of Star Trek is required at all. In fact, non fans have many more questions to answer here than say a non-sport fan does in answering the sport category of Trivial Pursuit.

Promo video (NOTE: 10 minute promo video available on Comcast OnDemand)

Conclusion In conclusion, this is arguably the best Star Trek trivia and board game ever. It has a nice techno component appropriate to Star Trek, it features carefully thought of Star Trek designs, great questions and fun challenges. It is a perfect gift for Trekkie family or friends and is reasonably priced. Mattel and ScreenLife have an excellent product here, one that brings family and friends together,whatever their affection for Star Trek. You should definitely see "Scene It? Star Trek Edition."

As a summary, here are the number of stars (from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best) for each feature of the game.

  • Game Board Design: 5 (great feature of being able to play fast or traditional game)
  • Dice: 2 (would have been nice to Trekify the dice)
  • Game Pieces: 4 (would have been nice to include the NX-01 as an option) Box: 5 (excellent design featuring all five captains)
  • Instructions: 5 (both the written and DVD instructions are great, especially the DVD instructions which feels like you are being educated by the Enterprise computer)
  • DVD Questions: 5 (excellent and varied questions)
  • Card Questions: 5 (good mix of challenging and less challenging questions for various players)
  • Music: 4 (game does utilize music from Star Trek, although the music while the DVD is idle should have been a Trek theme and isn’t)
  • Playability: 5 (excellent for all kinds of players)

First? Whoo-hoo!!

Any question focusing on the spin-offs would be lost on me so I’ll have to pass on this one. I think they missed the boat by putting all of the series and movies in one game, making the faulty assumption that all of the fans are fans of all the series.

Scene i t is generally a pretty fun game though. When, and if, a classic Star Trek- only version is released, I’llbe there with bells on.

#2: I’m the same, after TOS, I’m lost, other than naming the Captains…

I last bought the Next Gen Monopoly. My wife loves that so I’m betting she’ll really love this! Second?

Very nice review. I’m glad they took a genneral overview of this. Much better than a Feringe themed product. I’m putting this on the “Fathers Day List”. K’Plah

Star Trackie> TOTALLY agree! I’d be first in line for a Classic Trek- only version, but I’m hesitant to pick this one up. I’m more of a casual fan of the later shows, so I don’t think I’d enjoy a trivia game based on those. Oh, and it’s a minor nitpick, but I would have much rather seen the menus and such using TOS styling as opposed to TNG. I’m really surprised they went that route when we seem to be in a TOS renaissance right now…

There should have been some way you could choose your era on the game…that way all fans could pick their favorite.

I think this would be a lot of good Trek fun!

YES! Words hidden behind Klingon text!

It’s a fun game, but hard. Like others have commented, if you’re not familiar with one of the spin off series, then the questions can be virtually impossible to answer correctly. On the other hand, it’s a good way to pick up some knowledge about the Trek universe. I like how the my play and all play questions relate to on-screen items that don’t require a lot of Trek knowledge, in case you’re like me and don’t have a lot of Trekkie friends. Words well for the uninitiated.

Did they re-do teh box art? Wasnt Picard originally in the center? Sees it was originally the Captains in order from L-R but now Kirk is in the center (as it should be). I could be remembering wrong but I thought there was some discussion about this before.

As a fan of all six sieries, I’m glad they’re all on one game. But yes, it would’ve been nice if you could select them from an a la carte menue. (Say, play only TOS & TAS questions.) If they came out with six different games, they’d have a bunch of angry fans. Who wants to buy six games? And I think the LCARS display is used for everything. It was used on 3 of the shows, and we know how it works. The TOS displays didn’t have the FX necessary. How about a Klingon interface?

Wait, I was *just* at Toys “R” Us where my 2yrold picked herself up a TOS Spock “doll”. I didn’t see it. Which is just as well since I’d rather get DELUXE.

Impressive.

Thankfully I am in your position Anthony and I must say, I have never seen it put so eloquently! TREK is TREK to me as well!

I lived thru the 60’s where Captain Kirk was my hero, watched the animated series on Saturday mornings and was always in line for at least 2 showings of STAR TREK movies on the day they were released. I couldn’t believe my world had expanded the day I found the “ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT” video tape at my local video library in the 80’s. Could lightning strike twice? It certainly did for me.

I always thought Deep Space 9 was formulated to go up against “Babylon 5” which I really didn’t like. I did enjoy DS9, loved Voyager and Enterprise. I must admit though I didn’t like the last 2 Star Trek outings. That is ENTERPRISES “These Are the Voyages…” and “Nemesis”. I agreed, Star Trek needed a break. Which actually gave me time to catch up on the STARDATE franchise which has filled in nicely until this year.

I am so glad that Star Trek has been so much part of my life and like you Anthony have never felt the need to try and single out one over the other/ It’s all part of Roddenberry’s universe and I’m on tender hooks like I was back in the 70’s waiting for JJ’s instalment.

I’m not into games as such but I think I will purchase SCENE it

STAR TREK … Live long and Prosper!

There’s a demo version of this on the Scene It? website:

http://www.sceneit.com/_demo/startrek/gamepage.html

sorry – Paragraph 3 – Read STARGATE franchise …some times I hate spell correctors

I own several of the SceneIt games – TV, Disney, Squabble, and my kid has the Harry Potter Volume 1 and 2 versions. They’re great fun to play as a family or with friends or at a party. One think I will warn you about though, and that is for a franchise version – like Harry Potter or probably Star Trek – they will come out with a new version every time there’s a new movie coming out. There will be new questions with each version, however, so it’s not all a bad thing.

I’ll be getting this! :)

We picked this up last week and it’s great! Its alot of fun for me, w/ at least a passing knowledge of all the series, and fun for my wife, who pretty much picked up her trek knowledge by watching tv w/ me but still knows enough to be competitive. I highly reccommend this, it’s a blast!

P.S. great review, John!

Purity Purity only TOS !!!

Come on people if it was only TOS then it would only be TOS fans buying it.. Star Trek is more than (and MUCH more than) TOS. TNG lasted seven years, do did DS9 and voyager! You couldnt make an ENTIRE game based on TOS.. and if you did, it wouldn’t sell nearly as well.

man.. you “I only want to see TOS” people are fraking annoying. Seriously, we should accept everyone for what they like, so stop saying “Oh it has the OTHER shows.. well I’m not interested”.

how about saying.. in your opinion?

because in mine, Ds9 is a far superior show.

@14. KevinA Melbourne Australia – Deep Space Nine came out first in 1993. Babylon 5 came out in 1994 and was copying DS9, not the other way around.

Instead of making different games, Couldn’t they just make the DVD restrict itself to certain series? So you could just be quizzed over the series that you watch. And I guess you could just skip over the cards you’re not playing with =/ I’ve never played the game before, so I don’t know how that might work.

#2 and #3 We all know the 5 captains are: Captain James T. Kirk; Captain Robert T. April; Captain Christopher Pike; Captain Ronald Tracy and Captain Garth!

There are others? ;) (JUST KIDDDDDDDING!!!)

#20 TOS has lasted 43 years as of this year. TNG’s only lasted 22. ;)

#0 John, superb review. This was one of the few Trek products I’d been considering whether to buy or not–I basically haven’t bought anything for years. But your review makes it clear that this is something to share with the family and friends and should be fun.

I still have my dice from ST:TMP:The Game, so we’ll just use those. :)

Nobody’s voice will match Majel’s, I knew the instant she started talking that it was the voice actress used for the Cardassian computers when I started playing this game.

Here’s my take on the Star Trek SceneIt Game. It’s fun, but the questions arent randomized enough. Alot of emphasis has been put on the Original Series, and after 2 hours of gameplay I’ve had only 1 TNG clip, 2 Voyager Clips (featuring the same scene, but different questions), and 1 DS9 clip. All Questions (excluding the comm system sound ones) have revolved around the TOS crew’s TV series and Movies

Given that TNG has been around for 22 years, DS9 has been around for 16 years, and Voyager has been around for 14 years and each had 7 seasons compared to TOS’s 3 you’d think there would be more content around the other series. also, It doesn’t appear that The Animated Series was included in this, but there is so much talk whether or not the short lived animated Star Trek is canon or not.

This game looks awesome and a must have for all Star Trek Fans!

And for what it’s worth, personally I enjoy all incarnations of Star Trek! :)

I agree with #6 and #11, they should have included a menu to allow us to select which serie or series we want to answer questions from. I am basically a TOS fan, have a mild interest on TNG and no interest at all on the other series, so as it is the game probably isn’t going to work for me.

Just played the demo and found it a bit odd that when you win, they play a montage that contains a shot of the Enterprise D being shot at from Generations. In the movie the E crashed moments after that scene. In the montage, however they flash WINNER! across that scene. Looks more like a FAIL to me. ;)

it’s fun, Jim – but not as we know it!!

21. StarTrekkie – March 12, 2009 @14. KevinA Melbourne Australia – Deep Space Nine came out first in 1993. Babylon 5 came out in 1994 and was copying DS9, not the other way around.

Star Trek camp knew Babylon 5 was coming. They knew it was set on a space station. Still DS9 was 1st out and grabbed the time slot and an audience. Well here in Oz it did.

#23 “Here’s my take on the Star Trek SceneIt Game. It’s fun, but the questions arent randomized enough. Alot of emphasis has been put on the Original Series, and after 2 hours of gameplay I’ve had only 1 TNG clip, 2 Voyager Clips (featuring the same scene, but different questions), and 1 DS9 clip.

…hmmm…maybe I’l l buy it after all! lol

and #20 “You couldnt make an ENTIRE game based on TOS.. and if you did, it wouldn’t sell nearly as well. ”

…sure you can… TOS monopoly, TOS Uno…TOS 20 questions…all coming out this year and I think they will sell just fine, thank you.

I’d love to play this game, but alas, I am a lone Trekkie in my little world here in Maine and would have no one to play with. Oh well.

However, the new movie trailers have caused my girlfriend’s 9-year old son to suddenly become interested in Trek TOS. It’s cool to see a kid watching some classic television and enjoying it. He’s always asking questions and wants to know what episode to watch next. lol A new Trek fan is born.

Wow star trackie.. you are a nit picker…

I was referring to an entire scene it game of course.. not any general game..

Anyways……. the point was, be open minded.. g’night

I’m a fan of all Trek series, so this game looks great to me!

For you TOS folks living in the dark ages, this game is your chance to get aquainted with the rest of the Trek universe. You might grow to like it more. I grew up watching Star Trek in the 60s and can say there’s plenty of crap in Trek to go around in all the series, especially TOS. But there are gems in all of them too. Buy this game! Love Trek! Live long and prosper!

Give me these games now! I want to play!

As a hard core fan of anything Trek this will be exciting and fun to play. I can wait to test my knowldge of all things Trek.I love the fact they inckuded Tas as well. Should make for a lot of fun. I also challenge anyone here to a game and beware. Loser spends an hour in the Agoniser Booth.

Hey Anthony. Is there a list of Names of the fans that submitted Questions on the Game. I was wondering if there are names and if so could you post them.

I’m with you on this too. Except some of the questions may elude even me. I don’t remember what populace the planet Yonada was on collission with. I just remember that I didn’t like this episode as a kid and it made me uncomfortable watching McCoy get romantic.

I have been asking for this since Scene It? came out with a Star Wars version. How was it that that francise with ony six movies and no TV series to gleen from gets a game and ST with so much more didn’t?? Finally! I love that the box has the captains in their correct unique uniforms. Far too often this gets screwed up in posters, ads, etc.

Cute, but if it doesn’t involve a 1 hour countdown until a renegade Klingon flies you to his homeworld for a suicide mission, badly acted by Robert O’Reilly, then I’m not interested.

Damn, I love that board game by the way, I have to say it. Stunning Kavok makes me feel like a man!

I missed it if it was mentioned but will events from STXI be in this game? I thought I read a while ago that they would and that that was the reason it wouldn’t come out until the new movie was released.

#39. I loved that game. Was a lot of fun and Hearing Rikers Voice was kool. Though the scene where the Big E Blows up was from an Epesode of tng it was still fun tom play. But to easy to win.

Mmmmm well I am so dissapointed.. Oh the colour sceme of the box, and the design is all wrong.. and it breaks with canon… and .. well I am not going to buy it, hate it… but I can’t help but keep coming back and find out more about it…. Ooooooops… I was posting to the wrong thread then… damn I thought I was commenting on the look of the corridors on the Enterprise in the new film… (tounge in cheek joke there!).. ahem…

# 42. Very funny. But I think you should go to the Agoniser booth for conduct unbecoming a Star Fleet officer in the Terran Empire.

I’m dying to get my copy. Though I don’t know who would play with me. Though, I would like to see my question in there… I know I have at least one question in there. Maybe they’ll send me my copy soon. ::rubs hands in anticipation::

#43… LOL…

Looks interesting.

Great review John! I’ve wanted the games since it was announced but now I must have it.

#40. That was when the movie was supposed to come out in December. I guess they pulled all that stuff out when the movie was pushed back to May. I hope that means there’ll be an expansion pack at some point.

#20—“Come on people if it was only TOS then it would only be TOS fans buying it.. Star Trek is more than (and MUCH more than) TOS. TNG lasted seven years, do did DS9 and voyager! You couldnt make an ENTIRE game based on TOS.. and if you did, it wouldn’t sell nearly as well. ”

Maybe. But it looks like at least a few fans won’t be buying this one because they are not interested in the spinoffs. As far as “not selling as well”, if the games were sold both separately and as a package—I’m not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Some fans who, like those above, won’t buy it at all because so much of the game is about the spinoffs, would be at least buying one of the games.

People who like all of the shows would still likely buy the whole set at a package price.

I think someone else above suggested that the game should have “play__ only” options for certain incarnations of Trek.

I won’t be buying it either, but not for that reason. I don’t think I would have anyone to play it with.

Man, is it going to be an expensive time to be a trekkie.

I only like the first 3 series, but I will pick this up, because while the last two shows were erraticly written/conducted I still found the Trek philosophy in them. So yeah, deluxe me baby.

'Star Trek: Discovery' ends as an underappreciated TV pioneer

Eric Deggans

Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham in Season 5, Episode 9 of Star Trek: Discovery.

First, an admission: Though this column will offer a lot of discussion and defense of Star Trek: Discovery as a pivotal show, it won’t spend much time talking up the series’ current, final season or its finale episode, “Life, Itself,” dropping Thursday on Paramount+.

That’s because, for this critic, the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.

'Star Trek: Picard' soars by embracing the legacy of 'The Next Generation'

'Star Trek: Picard' soars by embracing the legacy of 'The Next Generation'

The show’s finale features the culmination of a sprawling scavenger hunt which found the crew of the starship Discovery bounding all over the place, searching for clues leading to a powerful technology pioneered by an alien race which created humanoid life throughout the galaxy. Their goal was to grab the technology before another race, ruthless and aggressive, could beat them to it, laying waste to everything.

It's no spoiler to reveal that Discovery ’s heroes avoid that nightmarish scenario, wrapping its fifth and final season with a conclusion centered on Sonequa Martin-Green’s ever-resourceful Capt. Michael Burnham and fond resolutions for a multitude of supporting characters (there’s even a space wedding!)

Still, this good-enough ending belies Discovery ’s status as a pioneering show which helped Paramount+ build a new vision for Star Trek in modern television – breaking ground that more creatively successful series like Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds would follow years later.

And it all began with a singular character: Michael Burnham.

A take on Star Trek for modern TV

Discovery debuted in 2017 on CBS All Access — the streaming service which would become Paramount+ — facing a serious challenge.

As the first new Trek series in a dozen years, it had to chart a path which offered a new vision of the franchise without going too far — carving out a new corner in the universe of Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock not long after the release of Star Trek Beyond , the third feature film produced by J. J. Abrams featuring rebooted versions of those classic characters.

Producers set Discovery ’s story 10 years before the days of Kirk and Spock (originally depicted on NBC for three seasons starting way back in 1966). The new series wouldn’t be centered on a starship captain, but its second in command: Burnham, a Black woman who also happened to be the hitherto unknown adopted daughter of Vulcan ambassador Sarek, Spock’s father (she would get promoted to captain of Discovery much later).

A Black human woman who was raised among the emotionally controlling, super-intellectual Vulcans? Who Trek fans had never heard of over nearly 60 years? Before I actually saw any episodes, my own feelings ranged from cautiously intrigued to cynically pessimistic.

But then I saw the first episode, which had an amazing early scene: Martin-Green as Burnham and Michelle Yeoh as Discovery Capt. Philippa Georgiou walking across an alien planet – two women of color marking the first step forward for Star Trek on a new platform.

People once sidelined in typical science fiction stories were now centerstage — a thrilling, historic moment.

And it got better from there. Back in the day, Trek writers often felt hamstrung by creator Gene Roddenberry’s insistence that, in the future depicted by the show, humans were beyond social ills like greed, prejudice, sexism, war, money and personal friction. The writers chafed, wondering: How in the world do you build compelling stories on a starship where interpersonal human conflict doesn’t exist?

But Discovery found a workaround, putting Burnham in a position where logic led her to mutiny against her captain, attempting a strategy which ultimately failed — leaving humans in open combat with the legendarily warlike Klingons. Discovery also featured a long storyline which played out over an entire season, unlike many earlier Trek shows which tried to offer a new adventure every week.

The show’s first season had plenty of action, with Harry Potter alum Jason Isaacs emerging as a compelling and unique starship captain (saying more would be a spoiler; log onto Paramount+ and check out the first season). Fans saw a new vision for Trek technology, leveraging sleek, visceral special effects and action sequences worthy of a big budget movie, with design elements cribbed from several of the franchise’s films.

Later in its run, Discovery would debut Ethan Peck as Spock and Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, classic Trek characters who eventually got their own acclaimed series in Strange New Worlds . So far, five other Trek series have emerged on Paramount+ from ideas initially incubated on Discovery – including a critically acclaimed season of Picard which reunited the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation .

Not bad for a series one TV critic eventually called among “the worst in the [ Trek ] franchise’s history.”

Discovery’s unappreciated legacy

Unfortunately, Discovery has taken some turns which didn’t work out quite so well. At the end of Discovery ’s second season, the starship jumped ahead in time nine centuries – perhaps to remove it from Strange New World ’s timeline? – placing it in an environment only distantly connected to classic Trek .

And while Discovery initially seemed cautious about referencing classic Trek in its stories, later series like Strange New Worlds and Picard learned the value of diving into the near-60-year-old franchise’s legacy – regularly tapping the show’s longtime appeal, rather than twisting into knots to avoid it.

There are likely fans of Discovery who would disagree with this analysis. But I think it helps explain why the series has never quite gotten its due in the world of Star Trek , initially shaded by skeptical fans and later overshadowed by more beloved products.

Now is the perfect time to pay tribute to a show which actually accomplished quite a lot – helping prove that Roddenberry’s brainchild still has a lot of narrative juice left in the 21st Century.

The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation

Patrick stewart knows how important star trek is to you (exclusive), for the 30th anniversary of star trek: tng 's series finale, the legendary actor reflects on both it and captain picard's legacy..

It’s ironic (and somewhat fitting) that the last scene filmed for Star Trek: The Next Generation ’s series finale involved the beginning of life on our planet.

TNG ’s two-part finale, “All Good Things…,” centered on Captain Picard’s (Patrick Stewart) attempts — across three different time periods — to save the galaxy from a spacial anomaly made of anti-time. With a little help from Picard’s omnipotent nemesis, Q (John de Lancie), the past, present and future crews of the Enterprise-D struggled to restore temporal balance to the galaxy as Picard and Q paid a visit to primordial Earth. There, the anomaly — which gets larger the farther back in time we go — causes the building blocks of all life on Earth to never form, thus wiping out humanity before it ever had a chance to exist. The weight of this scene — and how the show’s pending conclusion would impact fans — was not lost on Stewart, who recently spoke to the Television Academy about his experience filming the finale. Shooting this pivotal sequence late at night — on TNG’s infamous “Planet Hell” set, which was often home to rock or cave-like planets — proved to be, well, we’ll let Captain Picard himself explain:

“We wrapped it at about 1:30, 2 in the morning, when everyone was absolutely beaten,” Stewart says. “Just the crew, exhausted, and the director [the late Winrich Kolbe] dragging John de Lancie and myself to the finish, practically. And that was the last scene we shot. We wrapped seven seasons of Next Generation with two actors, John and myself.”

While the series was done with Picard and his shipmates, Star Trek was not. Stewart, after having been in nearly every scene of the finale and having directed the series’ penultimate episode, “Preemptive Strike,” had less than two weeks off before he reported to film the first Trek movie featuring the Next Gen cast, 1994’s Star Trek: Generations . The transition from fans’ television screens to the silver screen was, occasionally, a bittersweet one for Stewart and his costars. “While we all realized that we would no longer be working together on a series, we did have the movies to look forward to,” Stewart explains.” “But it was still very emotional, ending the series.”

In honor of the recent 30th anniversary of “All Good Things…”, Stewart reveals what it was like shooting key sequences of the finale and how season seven came to be Next Gen ’s last.

Television Academy: Prior to shooting “All Good Things…,” you had directed the previous episode, “Preemptive Strike,” and I can't imagine how stressful it must have been for you at that time. Can you recall how difficult it was for you to go from directing that episode to being in nearly every scene of the finale?

Patrick Stewart: Well, the difficulty was not getting enough sleep. [ Laughs ]

Because you have to prep shows before you start shooting them. But while I was prepping one show, I was shooting another one as well as playing my own role. So it was a very intense and crazy time. It had never been planned that there would be seven seasons. And I think it was around season three when it was confirmed that there will be six seasons. And, of course, we were thrilled. It was a big compliment to the work that everyone had been doing — the writers, directors, crew, producers, studio. And I think when we were approaching, we were about halfway through season six that I was asked about doing a seventh season.

How did you react to that ask? What did you think?

Well, what I did was immediately go and talk to all of my fellow actors, because I had a marginally different status in the production, I think, as the leading character. But I only wanted to do what they wanted to do. So I talked to everybody: Jonathan [Frakes], Brent [Spiner], Michael [Dorn] LeVar [Burton], Gates [McFadden], Marina [Sirtis], as well as our directors and our producers. And everyone said, “Yes, let's give it a shot.” In fact, I think there were one or two of my beloved friends [on TNG ] who would have liked to have gone on and done seasons eight, nine and 10. [ Laughs ] The series had already taken up seven years of my life — and five more were going to be taken up with the movies that we made, that we were going to shoot. So it had been an intense period of my life, a period of my life I had never expected to experience at all. Doing a television series that would run for year after year after year, that was not on my list of ambitions. And it, of course, had such an impact on my life. I had never experienced anything like it. And critical to that was my relationship with the rest of the cast, whom I met first in 1987. And every day that I don't see them now in 2024, I miss every one of them. And I don't think I've ever had so much fun as I have shooting Next Generation .

Did you have fun shooting the finale’s scenes where Picard was in old age makeup, sporting a beard for the first time on the show?

I loved it. Let me say, first of all, that we had a brilliant makeup team with Michael Westmore. The Westmore family. At one time, I believe every one of the major studios in Hollywood had a Westmore. I’ve always enjoyed the fun of sometimes appearing as a character whom the audience would know was Captain Picard, but he would appear in a funny or different costume or in makeup.

How did you celebrate when they finally wrapped on season seven?

I can't remember what I did exactly, but I do think I slept for several days.

I was going to say, I hope they gave you some time off between wrapping and starting Generations . I heard it was something like two weeks —

Oh, it was much shorter than that. [ Laughs ] They had already started shooting some of the movie when we were shooting the final episode. There were lots of scenes with Bill Shatner in them that we were not in. And so they were already working, and it meant that we could sneak in, because they were filming on the Paramount lot where we shot, well, not all of our episodes. Of course, about every four episodes or so, we would go on location somewhere — which was always a little bit like having a holiday. At least we treated it as a holiday.

I am guessing the cast was fairly emotional when shooting the famous poker table scene that ends “All Good Things…,” which you and the cast recreated for the finale of Star Trek: Picard . I know it’s been 30 years, but how was it for you filming what would become such an iconic moment for the franchise?

Well, it was intense. But we still had a few more days of work ahead of us. It was not the last scene of the series that was shot. The scene that John de Lancie and I had on [primordial Earth], that was the last scene we shot. We wrapped it at about 1:30, 2 in the morning, when everyone was absolutely beaten. And throughout the day, we'd had visitors. It's one of the reasons we were so far behind. We had so many visitors — important, distinguished visitors. And as we got into the evening shooting, of course, the visitors thinned out. And the later it got, there were no visitors at all. Just the crew, exhausted, and the director, Kolbe, dragging John de Lancie and myself to the finish, practically. And that was the last scene we shot. We wrapped seven seasons of Next Generation with two actors, John and myself. And for the poker scene, of course emotions ran high. I believe, just off the set somewhere, behind the wall there to where they were playing poker, crew members and executives were on set to observe [filming], and it’s safe to say there were few dry eyes in the house. While we all realized that we would no longer be working together on a series, we did have the movies to look forward to. And we were aware that this would also have an impact on the fans, for without them, we wouldn’t be here still talking about the work we achieved. But it was still very emotional, ending the series.

Speaking of the late Winrich Kolbe, the writers of “All Good Things…” and Frakes, they’ve all said that he was one of their favorite directors, and that they were very happy that he got the assignment for the finale. Can you recall what your relationship was like working with him?

It was wonderful. He was wonderful; a mixture of stern and serious instructions as well as lightheartedness. And we enjoyed him [on set] very much. But everything that I've just said would have applied to several more directors as well. And, of course, when Jonathan began directing, that was wonderful. And Gates, too. LeVar did several as well. Both he and Jonathan have both got great directing careers.

How would you rate your experience directing episodes of Next Gen ?

I loved every moment of directing, because I never thought it was something I would do. I didn't have ambitions to do it. But when we saw what Jonathan was doing, and then I think when I saw what LeVar was doing, I went along and said, “Please, sir, can I have a go, too?”

The western episode you directed, “A Fistful of Datas,” is a popular one among the fans.

I'll tell you a secret about that. We filmed the Wild West town village on the Warner Bros. lot. And they had an extraordinarily extensive outdoor set of a Western town. And so I was told, “Okay, we're going to shoot all the Western scenes, the exterior scenes at Warner Bros.” And I said, “Great, but there's an awful lot.” And they said, “Yes, there is. We're going to have to be very tight and work very hard to get everything in.” And we actually started filming the first shot in the dark. The sun hadn't come up. And I said, “Hang on a minute. It doesn't matter that there's no sunshine. We could film this in the dark, to help save us some time.”

And [the shot] was Brent, as his cowboy character, hiding around a corner. It just looked like a dark, shadowy corner, which was helpful for our intentions. And then we raced through the day. I mean, we just didn't have the time to spend, because if we didn't shoot it, it wasn't going to get shot. But we did. And that was very challenging to a new director shooting his first Western.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

All seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation are streaming now on Paramount+.

Kirstie Alley Acted Unprofessionally On Star Trek II And She Knew It

N icholas Meyer's 1982 sci-fi flick "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" was the first major acting gig for Kirstie Alley. Up to that point, Alley had only appeared on the sci-fi sitcom "Quark" as well as a few game shows like "Match Game." Alley wasn't even wholly devoted to acting at that stage, treating it more like a side-hustle than a career. It wouldn't be until she started auditioning for "Star Trek II" that she decided to focus on acting exclusively.

The circumstances surrounding Alley's audition are rather tragic , sadly. In the middle of the process, her mom was killed in a car accident and her father was left seriously injured. She stayed next to her father's bedside and Paramount, rather surprisingly, let her take all the time she needed. She spoke to her comatose father every day, telling him all about how she wanted to be an actor now, and even showed him headshots she had made. In a miraculous twist, Alley's father not only pulled through but called her from the hospital one night to say he was proud she was going to be an actor.

Alley completed the audition process and secured the role of Saavik, the half-Romulan, half-Vulcan helm officer on the U.S.S. Enterprise and protégé of Spock (Leonard Nimoy). She was over the moon.

But when the day came to report to the set, Alley suddenly realized that she was just an amateur. She was surrounded by Nimoy and William Shatner, two professionals who had been acting for decades. They always had their lines memorized and always hit their marks. Alley, on the other hand ... didn't always do that. She spoke with StarTrek.com in 2016 , revealing how unprofessional she was during shooting (and how embarrassed she was about it).

Kirstie Alley Was 'Unprepared' For Star Trek

The embarrassment didn't mean that Alley hated being there. Far from it. She enjoyed meeting her co-stars and acting across such an outsize personality as William Shatner. But acting with such pros highlighted how ill-prepared Alley was for performing professionally . In her own words:

"Well, I loved it. Bill is a mixed bag of tricks, which is funny. I think he thought at one point, 'Why the hell did they hire this girl, who's never done anything?' I wasn't so good at my lines, I will tell you. The repercussion for me never having acted before was that I wasn't the world's best at learning lines. And I was sort of irresponsible. I mean, if you want to know the honest truth, I would go out every night and celebrate that I got a job in a movie. So I would stay out too late, and then I would come in, let's call it 'unprepared.' That might be a polite way to say it."

While one can relate to Alley's impulse to have a celebratory cocktail every night (she landed a gig on "Star Trek" after all), it certainly wasn't a wise course of action for an actor who is playing a pretty large role in a major Hollywood production. Saavik was more than a mere supporting player, and Alley had many, many scenes. She learned the hard way that a time had to come to put down the cocktail shaker and actually delve into the script.

Alley's Costars Inspired Her To Step Up Her Game

Luckily, Shatner, Nimoy, and the rest of the "Star Trek" cast had been playing their parts since the '60s, and their assurance inspired Alley to step up. As she put it:

"[T]hey were all such pros. They know what the hell they're doing. Bill ... he's Captain Kirk, for God's sake. And Leonard was Spock. So they knew exactly what they were doing. Everyone was professional, probably except me."

Alley availed herself incredibly well. Saavik returned in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" in 1984, but Alley was replaced by actor Robin Curtis . It seems that Alley was offered a chance to appear in "Star Trek III" but turned it down because Paramount offered her less money than she got for "Star Trek II." This was on top of the fact that Saavik's role was much larger in "Star Trek III." Alley didn't like the offer and walked away.

In 1983 and 1984, however, Alley's acting career took off in a big way. She appeared in films like "Champions," "Blind Date," and the sci-fi film "Runaways," while also securing a leading role on the short-lived TV series "Masquerade" and the miniseries "North and South." Then, 1987 saw her landing her sizable gig on the hit sitcom "Cheers," followed by her role in Amy Heckerling's mega-hit 1989 comedy "Look Who's Talking." She also worked with Carl Reiner, John Carpenter, and Woody Allen, and eventually produced her own hit TV series "Veronica's Closet." Alley had a wonderful career before passing away in 2022 at the age of 71.

Get a Closer Look at the Star Trek Enterprise Model

The starship model used in filming underwent an extensive conservation

Starship Enterprise

On  Star Trek,  a TV series that aired in the late 1960s, more than 400 crew members explored the galaxy aboard the USS  Enterprise,  which had a length of 947 feet and weighed 190,000 tons. In actuality, the starship was an 11-foot-long model made of poplar wood and vacu-formed plastic.

None

Film of the model appeared in all 79 episode of the original series (broadcast from 1966–69), and the model was donated to the National Air and Space Museum by Paramount Studios in 1974.  Forty years later, the Museum undertook a two-year project to restore the  Enterprise  to how it looked during the filming of the 1967 episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"—the last known modification of the ship during the show's production. Today the Enterprise is displayed in the Museum's location in DC.

Let's take a closer look at the model.

None

During filming, the model balanced on a single-point stand attached to a geared head made to hold heavy cameras—insufficient support for such a large model. Today, the model rests upon two stanchions built by Museum staff.
