Chaos on the Bridge

Gene Roddenberry meets J.J. Abrams with a Starfleet Academy twist. Behind-the-scenes doc follows the chaotic birth of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1986 when TV’s biggest gamble hits budget cuts, cast turnover, and philistine execs. Shatner’s manic energy saves it before the uniforms turn teal.
