Gene Roddenberry gets too much credit for Star Trek. Gene Coon came up with far more lasting contributions to the franchise such as the Klingons, the Federation, Starfleet Command and the Prime Directive.
True. Gene Roddenberry was the George Lucas of Star Trek. When left to his own devices, he screws it up. Look at the first 5 years of ST:TNG. It only got better when the actors could loosen themselves from teh bonds of Roddenberry’s original intent.
