Nostalgia is a powerful elixir as demonstrated by Paramount’s moving “Star Trek” tribute video created for the franchise’s big 60th anniversary this year and revealed last weekend at San Diego Comic-Con during a Star Trek Universe presentation at Hall H.<\/p>\n

It’s a sentimental journey into the final frontier that chronicles the popular space opera property from its infancy as “Star Trek: The Original Series<\/a>” in 1966, through 14 Hollywood feature films and numerous small screen iterations like “The Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine,” “Voyager,” “Enterprise,” “Discovery,” “Picard,” “Strange New Worlds<\/a>,” “Below Decks,” “Prodigy,” and even “Starfleet Academy.”<\/p>\n

“We are all explorers, driven to know what’s over the horizon,” declares Scott Bakula’s Captain Archer from Enterprise in this misty celebratory mission down memory lane.<\/p>\n

“For 60 years, ‘Star Trek’ has carried us beyond galaxies out of reach, to the very core of what it means to be human,” “Discovery’s” Sonequa Martin-Green states in the tribute’s narration. “It began with a bold idea that the future could be united.”<\/p>\n
