Thats how you feel, cool.īUT when you try and tell the rest of us what *we* should consider canon and shouldn’t be, then you just come off as an egotistical blowhard. If you said “I don’t personally consider anything made after TNG canon because Great Bird of the Galaxy didn’t personally put his hand on the script and turn it into gold” fine man, have at it. What I’m saying is your opinion is YOUR opinion and you shouldn’t subscribe it to the whole fan base. I am happy Roddenberry started this franchise, but frankly much better people took it over later or we would’ve had multiple boring versions of The Motionless Picture in theaters and MAYBE 3-4 seasons of TNG before it was cancelled for being god awful and that probably would’ve been the end of Trek for a very long time.Īnd I never said your opinion doesn’t matter chief. In another 25 years there will be even more Trek made that will introduce new crews, time periods, universes, etc and thats a GOOD thing. I like watching reruns of TOS and TNG like everyone else but yeah I like to look forward and not backwards. No one wanted to work with the guy.Īre you are his son or something? Why are you taking it so personally? The great majority of Star Trek today he had no involvement with, thats just a fact. He made just many screw ups as he did good things on them and hence why he was kicked off of so many projects. Its now 2018, multiple show runners, writers, producers and directors have taken over. He had nothing to do with any of the shows from DS9 through Discovery and was only directly involved in one film, the first one. ![]() The last time he had direct involvement with Star Trek was in 1989. The meeting and memo ultimately spurred Roddenberry to jump back into the fray and create what we now know as The Next Generation, but it’s a fascinating glimpse into what might have been.ĭude, Roddenberry has been dead for over 25 years now lol. ![]() Gene pounded the desk and the executives pounded back. Gene didn’t want to do whatever they were proposing. When I arrived at the meeting, Gene’s office was filled with a number of high-ranking studio executives. Rick Berman recalls the meeting to discuss this memo in his forward to the book Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Continuing Mission: ![]() One of the more creative ideas was how the original captain dies in the pilot, but “continues to ‘live’ in the ship’s computer” as a hologram who can be summoned for advice.Īnd there are some elements that remind you this document comes from another era, such as the description of the ship’s weapons officer: “Painfully beautiful, Joyce is still fighting with the timeless battle of trying to be taken seriously while looking as lovely as she does.” While some of the ideas in this concept can be seen in what ultimately became Star Trek: The Next Generation (such as a young Klingon officer as part of the crew), this original pitch bears little resemblance to the show that went on to have seven successful seasons. From the original Star Trek: Then Next Generation pitch
