Like, advanced technology, focusing entirely on intercrew arguments, (terrible dialogue and cheesy action), ships flying sideways, no knowledge of ship operations and procedures. Magic technology. Blasters of different colours so we can tell good guys from bad guys. Robots and drones. Really, that's the big one.
If you hate star trek so much Kurtzman, just make a different show.
"Roddenberry's Star Trek" is kinda misleading. His being the visionary architect of the utopian future is a result of his creating and then believing a cult of personality surrounding him. He would basically just tell audience members at conventions stuff about his vision of Star Trek that he thought that audience wanted to hear while doing a lot of dope and drinking a tonne between 1966 and 1986. When TNG roled around everyone including him had been tricked into his snake oil show a bit and gave him too.much trust leading to the first two seasons of TNG and the worst aspects of them. He was a big part of what Trek is but far from deserving of the credit he gets and he deserves a lot more criticism.
Sounds an awful lot like another guy :posadas:
Well, Roddenberry apparently was a Maoist when he died according to Majel Barret. I'm guessing that meant Maoist and not Mao Zedong Thought to some extent as well. Gene was a wacky doodle dandy in many many ways
The first two seasons of The Next Generation had awesome music. Something that disappeared after that.
I totally agree. They had a change of head composer after those seasons and also cause Rick Berman wanted the music to not be noticeable.
