A brand new two-hour documentary special featuring the five captains from our favorite scifi series is set to launch tomorrow night on the Biography Channel. Called "The Captains of the Final Frontier", the documentary will focus on Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, & Archer, while shedding light on the incredible triumphs and epic failures of the most legendary leaders in Starfleet history. The show is scheduled to start tomorrow night (November 3rd) at 9pm EDT. Also, we just learned that our good friend Larry Nemecek worked as a consultant on the show.

Here's some of what Larry had to say about it: "They tell me that past episodes of Biography on fictional characters got rave reviews and good numbers, so in the search for a follow-up....well, what fictional folk are more real than Star Trek's?

He continues "What's funny is, producer Lauri Marini contacted me to be on-camera, along with many others you'll know ... and I wound up having a great time, doing a lot more backgrounding for the show. Then, two months into my involvement last summer, one day we suddenly heard all the buzz about a "five captains special" being put together William Shatner's group. What else was I to think other than he had gotten involved in this show? But this time—no such merging. Bill's own captain's special is an entirely separate project and, apparently, scheduled to be seen next spring. Right now, though, the Shat does lead a one-hour special that airs just before this one, hosting his castmates and their TOS clips in Star Trek: Captain's Log. The whole package re-airs at 12 a.m./1 a.m. ET, and then again later in the week."

Other Trek cast and crew on the program; Kate Mulgrew, Tim Russ, Nana Visitor, Denise Crosby, Dominic Keating, Robert Picardo, Anthony Montgomery, Vaughn Armstrong, Rick Berman, Nicholas Meyer, Manny Coto, Ira Steven Behr, Rene Echevarria, Michael & Denise Okuda, Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens, and Rod Roddenberry. Plus a cadre of Trek authors and of course the awesomeness that is Larry Nemecek.
