The Biography Channel had a documentary of the Star Trek captains in 2009 called The Captains of the Final Frontier. Basically, it compares the fictional captain characters, unlike William Shatner’s Captains documentary that was more about the characters.

The official description of The Captains of the Final Frontier is below, along with the full documentary video!
