There's probably never been a television series that has won so loyal a cult following as the original Star Trek, and in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation had the unenviable prospect of trying to follow in that show's footsteps. But Star Trek: The Next Generation rose to the occasion, not only pleasing most Trek fans but developing a loyal audience among contemporary sci-fi enthusiasts as well. Journey's End: The Saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation is a documentary which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and production of this landmark in science fiction television, featuring a look at how the show's make up and visual effects were created, interviews with the cast, thoughts from notable guest stars, and the production of the show's final episode. Jonathan Frakes narrates.
