Star Trek’s Silver Screen Glory Was Born From Misery and Desperation
From the late ’60s to the ’80s film series, Star Trek took a break during the 1970s, effectively ending its run after three seasons and being left only in the memories of dedicated fans. Along with the cast members like William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, and even the creator Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek universe seemed to be fading away. By the mid-70s, Roddenberry had run out of creative ideas, putting any live-action revival on hold.
