The Grand Total: Hours and Hours of Star Trek

Not too long ago, a Tumblr user by the name of 'stonedtrek' actually did the math, providing us with a detailed breakdown of the time required to watch every Star Trek production. Here are the numbers:

Star Trek The Original Series: 65 hours and 50 minutes Star Trek The Animated Series: 8 hours and 48 minutes Star Trek The Next Generation: 130 hours and 32 minutes Star Trek Deep Space Nine: 126 hours and 8 minutes Star Trek Voyager: 126 hours and 8 minutes Star Trek Enterprise: 68 hours and 36 minutes Star Trek The Motion Picture: 2 hours and 13 minutes Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: 1 hour and 52 minutes Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: 1 hour and 45 minutes Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: 2 hours and 2 minutes Star Trek V: The Final Frontier: 1 hour and 46 minutes Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: 1 hour and 50 minutes Star Trek Generations: 1 hour and 58 minutes Star Trek VI: Contact (correctly titled as 'First Contact'): 1 hour and 51 minutes Star Trek VII: Insurrection: 1 hour and 43 minutes Star Trek VIII: Nemesis: 1 hour and 56 minutes Star Trek: (Counterpart to #7) Star Trek XI: Into Darkness: 2 hours and 13 minutes Star Trek XII: Beyond: 2 hours and 2 minutes Star Trek Discovery: 20 hours Short Treks: 2 hours and 10 minutes Star Trek Picard: 75 hours

Star Trek: Lower Decks (1st season - 10 episodes at 25 minutes each): 4 hours and 10 minutes Star Trek Discovery (3rd season): 13 hours by the end of the season scheduled for January 7, 2021
