Trekkies are in for a treat with SBS 2 to screen 8 Star Trek movies from Sunday, 29 November – Saturday, 5 December.
Of course the running gag with Star Trek films is that every second one was a goodie….
Take a trip through down Star Trek lane to see the classic sci-fi films where James T. Kirk and later, Jean-Luc Picard take the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise to save humanity from Borg, Klingon and all other manner of Alien threat.

SBS2 gradually becoming another channel that constantly airs old movies again and again – another GO! if you will
Yes they are airing Star Trek VI: Says so in the guide.
Good catch. Dec 2, 10:25pm, after ST V.
I wonder why they’re not showing #6: The Undiscovered Country. Network Ten kept skipping that one too when they had the rights to the Star Trek films
I believe the rights are caught up in the split between Paramount TV & Paramount Pictures that happened about the time it was made – the TV rights for the existing (1-5) movies went with one, the rights for 6 (which was under production) went with the other, then the rights for the subsequent TNG movies were done separately.
Note there’s also no ST: Nemesis. No loss there, particularly when you can still marvel at Uhura’s fan dance in 5…
Thanks for that
Yeah I noticed that Nemesis wasn’t listed too, but I don’t think too many people will miss it 😉
I guess they’re giving up the pretence of SBS 2 being “the home of emerging culture” and how it “‘challenges the status quo” by targeting 16-39 year olds with diverse content”.
Nothing against Star Trek movies, with the possible exception of JJ Abrams’ recyclings. I’m just sad to see SBS 2 – once a refuge from SBS, after it went mainstream and soft multigrain (if not completely white bread) – head in the same direction as SBS.
