It may be hard to believe, but it’s been 35 years since Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) first aired back in 1987.
At its prime, it was one of the biggest shows on television and kickstarted a renaissance within the Star Trek universe that led to other shows such as Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise.
It was essentially a reboot and continuation of The Original Series from 1966, which famously starred William Shatner as James T Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock.
