You know, Star Trek has now spanned over what? Almost fifty years? Granted, that isn't two thousand. Where one author died, another picked up, and yet, the series is remarkably consistent, as long as you ignore that last horrible Nemesis movie, which isn't much different than how the books of the Bible were selected anyway. In fact, Star Trek has had far more than forty authors, and yet, it still remains a consistent world within itself. Is there some unifying force behind the series? Nah. The authors just make the next episode jibe with the rest of the episodes. Sure, they screw up now and then, and something doesn't make sense with what happened in the past. The Bible here too, is pretty much the same. (Remember season two of the Bible when God became super nice? The viewers got tired of mean vindictive God.)
Maybe in another two thousand years people will worship Star Trek because of how remarkably consistent it has been, and probably will continue to be. There must be some unifying force behind it.
