26 Years Later, 'Star Trek's Spiritual Successor Is Waiting To Be Discovered on Streaming

After Star Trek: The Original Series aired its final episode on June 3, 1969, with “Turnabout Intruder,” creator Gene Roddenberry turned his attention to other projects like The Questor Tapes, a TV movie released 8 years later that was meant to be the pilot for a new series. Of course, he wouldn’t find that level of Star Trek success again in his lifetime until Star Trek: The Next Generation. But after his lifetime? Roddenberry still wouldn’t find that level of success outside the Star Trek franchise, but he did enjoy moderate success with two projects he left behind: Earth: Final Conflict and Andromeda (aka Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda), and the latter, finally, is available on streaming, 20 years after it aired its final episode.
