Star Trek: Voyager should have gotten to have a movie follow-up, but the premise meant it couldn’t follow in the footsteps of Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. After The Original Series’ cancelation, the franchise lived on in six Star Trek films, beginning with 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. When Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country hit theaters, Star Trek: The Next Generation was in its fifth season. After The Next Generation ended, the cinematic torch passed from the TOS cast to the USS Enterprise-D crew in 1994’s Star Trek Generations.
