Ya know, Gene Roddenberry had vision BUT he also came from a different generation, one that valued morals, integrity, individual conviction, social consciousness, community structure, and a strong sense of social justice. The writers today DO NOT have those qualities. They are of the newer generations, the self-serving generations, the generations that have made society what it is today. All they care about is creating a TV series with the best cgi to WOW viewers. I, for one, learned a lot from Gene Roddenberry’s original TV Star Trek series growing up. The show had integrity and that was important. Without Gene to lead the way this series has lost its way. Despite having a great cast this series has no integrity, no morals, no conviction, etc. The episodes are weak and sometimes ridiculously stupid. I find myself preferring to watch reruns of old Star Trek shows to get the Gene Roddenberry ‘feeling’ … to appreciate his vision and let my imagination merge with his.

I try to avoid being stuck in the past. It wasn’t as great as people “remember” it to be. Remember this — Star Trek OG had the first black woman in a major roll on tv and the first inter-racial kiss on television, so maybe this man you worship was more progressive than you “remember.” Back then, people thought it was “moral” to lynch black people, beat their wives and children while police made light of DV calls (they used to wait 30 minutes to give it time to “simmer down” so they didn’t get hurt), and not let even popular black performers use the restrooms in the places they performed or stay in hotels in those cities. Women had three options for employment: housewife, teacher or nurse, but not university professor or doctor. Is that what you call “morals and integrity,” because it doesn’t fit my definition of those things. As for community structure, yeah, as long as there were no black people in your community. There was absolutely no social justice, especially in the south where I grew up. So you stay in that time and I’ll stay here, o.k.? I’ll stay in my online community and you stay in yours. Buh-bye!
