Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>season 1 introduced two important retcons that would be defining features of the\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>franchise for the next 60 years.\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> aired for 3 seasons from 1966 to 1969 on NBC, but those 78 episodes built the foundation for an evergreen franchise that spans a dozen TV series and fourteen feature films.<\/p>\n Today, the tenets of\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0include Starfleet as the military and exploratory organization that the USS Enterprise and every other starship belongs to, and the greater body Starfleet serves, the United Federation of Planets. The Federation is the vast interstellar alliance of worlds co-founded by United Earth.<\/p>\n It’s hard to imagine modern\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>without Starfleet or the Federation, but neither of those concepts existed until later in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series<\/em>\u00a0season 1.<\/p>\n The back half of\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0<\/em>season 1\u00a0named Starfleet Command and introduced the United Federation of Planets, which were both retcons that became crucial and fundamental aspects of\u00a0<\/p>\n Starfleet Command was officially named in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0<\/em>season 1, episode 20, “Court Martial.” Before this, early\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>episodes were inconsistent in what organization the Starship Enterprise represented.<\/p>\n “Space Fleet,” “Space Command,” and the “United Earth Space Probe Agency” were among the names used before Starfleet was established.<\/p>\n Similarly,\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series<\/em>\u00a0season 1, episode 18, “Arena,” was the first time “the Federation” was mentioned. The full name of the United Federation of Planets was first uttered in\u00a0<\/p>\n From then on, the governing bodies\u00a0Captain Kirk and Starship Enterprise\u00a0represented were settled, and those retcons became canon for the next six decades as\u00a0<\/p>\n Starfleet Command and the United Federation of Planets came to be thanks to writer and producer Gene L. Coon, one of the greatest and relatively unsung heroes of\u00a0<\/p>\n In his book,\u00a0<\/p>\n Watching the first half of\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong>season 1 is fascinating as the show gradually figures itself out, and sometimes contradicts itself. Once the retcons of Starfleet and the Federation were defined,\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>was on solid footing to become the beloved, eternal franchise that has lasted 60 years and counting.<\/p>\n \u201cRHOSLC\u201d star\u00a0Bronwyn Newport got candid about her marriage to Todd Bradley in the latest episode of season 6.<\/p>\n After opening up to Whitney Rose about being blindsided by a fan claiming to have seen Bradley looking at pictures of another woman, fans had Newport\u2019s back.\u201cI love that Whitney and Bronwyn are having this conversation about agreements in their marriages. I think more married women should be honest about their [marital] agreements, instead of cosplaying a monogamous couple, while it looks like he cheats and you stay,\u201d a viewer\u00a0posted on X.<\/p>\n Another\u00a0tweeted, \u201cTodd is making Bronwyn miserable. She wishes her husband was faithful and supported her. At this point she\u2019s just putting on a brave face. I hope she gets the courage and coin to leave his wind-breaking [expletive].\u201d<\/p>\n One fan\u00a0predicted, \u201cI really think Bronwyn coming on this show was for her to make a path for divorce.\u201d<\/p>\n After\u00a0Britani Bateman alleged that Meredith Marks\u2019 husband, Seth Marks, was having an affair, Newport got real about her own marriage to Bradley.<\/p>\n During a sit-down with Whitney, Newport admitted, \u201cI don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve seen on Twitter or not, but people are accusing Todd of getting caught on a plane cheating on me.\u201d<\/p>\n She recalled, \u201cI land in Salt Lake to a mess on Twitter. While Todd was on his flight to New York, someone caught him looking at photos of women on his phone.\u201d<\/p>\n Newport said that she confronted Bradley about the leaked photos and made him sleep in a hotel that night.<\/p>\n However, she did admit that if her husband had expressed wanting to see other people, she would have been open to it.<\/p>\n \u201cLook, I don\u2019t wanna be done with Todd. I wanna evolve with Todd, and I need him to evolve with me,\u201d she told Whitney.<\/p>\n Whitney, who is married to an older man as well, also alluded to her and Justin Rose having an arrangement.<\/p>\n \u201cI went through this with Justin, because we have a lot of friends that live in different lifestyles. And a lot of my friends have different agreements. Obviously, with our age difference, we\u2019ve talked about it a lot,\u201d the beauty brand founder shared.<\/p>\n She went on to say that there were times she didn\u2019t think her marriage to Justin was going to work, so she had wandering eyes, and her husband did as well.<\/p>\n Whitney did make sure to point out that she and Justin did not have an open relationship, to dispel any possible rumors that might come out.<\/p>\n After her conversation with Newport, Whitney\u00a0shared with Bravo, \u201cI love that I have Bronwyn to relate. To have Bronwyn to talk to is really cool, because not everyone understands what that dynamic is like.\u201d<\/p>\n Whitney added, \u201cShe has a much bigger age difference than I do. She deals with a whole other level of interesting-ness.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite her past issues with Justin, the \u201cRHOSLC\u201d star said, \u201cI feel like he raised me in a way. It\u2019s like I spent my entire life married. I wouldn\u2019t change it. Like, I don\u2019t know if I could be married to someone younger than me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0season 1 introduced two important retcons that would be defining features of the\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0franchise for the next 60 years.\u00a0Star Trek aired for 3 seasons from 1966 to 1969…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdnn-11.cybergalleria.com\/uploads\/images\/tinymce-uploads\/20251113\/mceclip0-1763042849-q80.webp\")
As two of the youngest women on \u201cRHOSLC\u201d married to older men, Newport and Whitney have a lot in common.<\/p>\n
