Caa Voyage

Since the debut of the original television series in 1966, Star Trek has spawned four spin-off series and eleven feature films. The combined tally of episodes stands at over seven hundred, a sci-fi record surpassed only by Doctor Who.

It shouldn't be surprising that with so many adventures, the Star Trek franchise sometimes reuses plots and dramatic devices. Longtime viewers will recognize these Star Trek plot clichés that appear in many series and movies.

The Only Ship in Range Plot Cliché

The Star Trek shows never state how many vessels are in the Federation Starfleet, but whenever there's a mysterious distress call – or if Earth itself is menaced – somehow all the other starships seem to be out of range. Naturally, the Enterprise (or other Star Trek ship) is the only one that can come to the rescue, making the episode more dramatic. The ship is often short-handed or otherwise hampered, raising the stakes even further.

This plot device is particularly common in the Star Trek films. Variations have been used in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek: Generations.

Even the latest movie, Star Trek (2009), uses this trick not only to have the U.S.S. Enterprise be the only ship that can save the galaxy, but also to explain why the ship is crewed by cadets – which also happened in Star Trek II.
