11 Years Later, Scott Bakula's Enterprise Paid Off A Riker Reference From Star Trek: The Next Generation

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

After it aired in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generationushered in a golden age for the franchise as a whole, paving the way for follow-up shows like Star Trek: Enterprise. From the late 80s through the early 2000s, Star Trek TV series were consistently airing, and, as the title of the show suggests, introducing the next generation of fans to Star Trek as a franchise. Even now, almost 40 years after The Next Generation first aired, modern shows like Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Prodigy are still built on references to that era of Star Trek.
