10 Biggest Changes J.J. Abrams Made To Star Trek

J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek films reimagine the era of Star Trek: The Original Series with elements that have been adopted by the franchise’s newest shows. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds borrows the most inspiration from Abrams’ updated visions, as a show set aboard the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. Star Trek: Discovery has nods to alien designs and concepts that originated in the Kelvin Timeline movies. Even Star Trek: Picard, though it takes place a century later, acknowledges certain story elements from Abrams’ movies, going so far as to make them integral to the plot of Picard season 1.
