This is why I hate Star trek fandom. It's all a bunch of worship and different views are never welcome. All you are ever allowed to say is Kirk is great and Roddenbury is god and created the universe. Everyone always has to walk in lockstep and never question anything. For a show that is supposed to be about love and free thinking,the fans are some of the most closed minded and hateful people I have ever met.

To be honest, I think Kirk is just okay (Sisko is far better) and that Roddenberry was just another conceited, revisionist hack like Lucas.

Making the TNG era a more politically correct utopian age, devoid of interpersonal conflict, is not akin to making silly changes to your old movies and forcing them down the fans' throats. Not by a long shot.

Perhaps I'm using too much hyperbole yet again. From what I've read about the man, though, he seems to share the same conceited opinion of himself and his influence upon Star Trek that Lucas has in regards to Star Wars. And how he tried to remove references to TOS in TNG reeks of Lucas-style "original vision" BS.

Frankly, I think that if Roddenberry have lived to see the SE, he probably would have tried to follow Lucas' example and re-edit TOS into meshing with TNG.

I liked Sisko, but the revelation that he really was the Kwistaz Haderach of the wormhole aliens was a bit much.

To be honest, I stopped watching DS9 with the second-to-last episode of Season 6, so I never bore witness to any of the peculiarities/absurdities that followed thereafter.
