Star Trek: The Next Generation at 35

Star Trek: The Next Generation launched on this day in 1987. After a first couple of seasons in the shadow of the original series, the series headlined by Sir Patrick Stewart as the serious Captain Picard went on to become the mainstay of the biggest era in the timeline, featuring in three seven-season TV series, the later movies, and in the new streaming Trek era it has another two shows and a connection to a third.

(Remembering it being an evening regular feature on BBC Two from about a year after it premiered makes me miss non-streaming new Trek even more.)
