Lately, I’ve been pouring over a bunch of interviews with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, written during a time when Gene was enjoying something of a Star Trek renaissance. After reading these interviews with Roddenberry, I think it’s fair to say that he didn’t have fond feelings for NBC, the network that originally aired Star Trek, and cancelled it after just three seasons. In fact, I think it’s fair to say that Gene felt like he had handed the Peacock Network this amazing, wonderful gift and they pretty much just took a giant metaphorical space dookie on it.
