"Star Trek" may seem like the last series you’d expect to base its stories on real life, as the show is set in space in the future. However, plenty of iconic episodes of the sci-fi series have included commentary on real-life events, with some parallels you may have missed the first time you watched them. The franchise has always had a social conscience, and the creators have been able to comment on society within the framework of a space adventure. From the weird crossover with Jack the Ripper to the time they slipped in an anti-Vietnam War message, let’s take a look at some "Star Trek" episodes that were based on actual events.
