A PHENOMENON UNEXCELLED
CHAPTER ONE
A DREAM IN THE MAKING:
A brush with death alters Gene Roddenberry’s career choices and leads him to Hollywood, where he creates Star Trek.

NBC loves “The Cage” but wants Roddenberry to produce a second pilot.
CHAPTER THREE
ONWARD TO THE STARS, WITH HOPE (THE FIRST SEASON):
Star Trek makes stars of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as the series is launched successfully, albeit with some trepidation.
CHAPTER FOUR

AN AREA OF TURBULENCE (THE THIRD AND FINAL SEASON):
A lackluster third season, marked by numerous indifferent scripts and few bright lights, marks the inevitable end to the first voyage of the starship Enterprise.
