>>5682120>wah you're not telling everyone Roddenberry was a saintNewsfuckignflash- Trek was only good because of everyone BESIDES Roddenberry.
If TNG had gone exactly the way he wanted to, it would've been unwatchable shit.
>NO interpersonal conflicts whatsoever>NO references to TOS whatsoever>NO aliens from TOS whatsoeverNotice how TNG really got great right after Gene left the show and the staff was able to cut loose? We never would've gotten that epic fight fight between Picard and his brother if Gene were still around.
Gene got old and started this "humanity is so enlightened" crap which was always stupid as hell. DS9 threw that out the window for something that was plausible and the fantasy fanboys hated that. Bring up that he was a piece of shit human being in the TOS days and they get real mad. This was a guy who fucked a business partner out of massive royalties by writing lyrics to the TOS theme, even though there was no intention to use them, just so he could get songwriting credit.
