Great Origin Stories from Movies & TV9 of 12
How many permutations have there been detailing the adventures of the crew of the Starship Enterprise and the universe from which they came? There's been the original TV series (even an animated series), 11 films, and even four television series -- we won't even get into printed media -- but the story of how Kirk, Spock, McCoy and company actually came together was never depicted until 2009's Star Trek, which rebooted the movie franchise by taking viewers back in time.
It was there that we met the young crew who would go on to helm numerous adventures out in space, the final frontier. In going back to the origin story, however, writer-director J.J. Abrams played fast and loose with timelines, creating a parallel universe where the planet Vulcan was destroyed, and the elder Spock (Leonard Nimoy) met his younger self (Zachary Quinto). A new film is in the works now -- maybe one that will help put Vulcan back on the (literal) map!
