In terms of long-lasting pop culture franchises, Star Trek stands out as truly classic, much like Sesame Street in its timelessness. Both deliver moral stories, and their relevance never fades away. The characters in Star Trek may argue instead of Elmo counting or teaching letters, but the essence remains the same: a story with a purpose will always stay relevant. The conflict between Khan and Kirk might be more dramatic than Elmo and his rock, but the principle holds true.
