Title: The Untold Rule-Breaking Secrets of the “Star Trek” Franchise
“H2: Gene Roddenberry’s Rulebook: The Backbone of the “Star Trek” Universe**
“Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry was protective of his baby. As such, he devised a franchise rulebook that other producers, showrunners, and writers are supposed to abide by. Roddenberry’s bible covers everything from character relationships to instructions on how “Star Trek” should approach the sci-fi genre, but some people have disobeyed the mastermind’s edicts. One rule regarding “Spock” even caused a behind-the-scenes fight on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and a change was implemented as a result.

While shows like “Star Trek: Discovery” have continued to break Roddenberry’s rules, their existence shows this franchise is treated with care. The creators must consider the bigger picture when developing new projects, even if they occasionally stray from the path. “Strange New Worlds” might have its own rules to follow, but the series actually breaks one of Roddenberry’s, as he didn’t want characters from “Star Trek: The Original Series” to be used in other shows. Times have changed since then, though, and “Strange New Worlds” is exploring new frontiers for the long-running sci-fi franchise.
