With the pending release of the next phase of Star Wars and rumours of a Babylon 5 movie reboot you may think the genre is alive and well, but, since the end of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005 there has been a distinct lack of space based sci-fi on TV. Instead the likes of Eureka, Defiance, Revolution, Extant and other Earth based sci-fi shows have filled the airwaves.
Is the age of Star Trek dead?
Will space based science fiction be confined to the big screen from now on?
