By orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com) Harlan Ellison is a notoriously prickly fellow.  Aside from his many works, Ellison is infamous for his decade-long feud with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry after he rewrote much of Ellison’s only Trek episode, “The City on the Edge of Forever.” Now that the franchise is in the hands of...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) “The Outcast” is the first Trek episode to deal with, at least arguably, the issue of homosexuality. Truth be told, it does not do that very well. Homosexual advocacy groups have criticized the episode for washing its hands of the issue after Gene Roddenberry had allegedly promised to pres...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) The plot of “Ensign Ro” has yet another high ranking Starfleet official going rogue. There is something bout becoming an admiral that seems to corrupt. You would think Gene Roddenberry would be against the idea of power corrupting near perfect 24th century humans, but trek often goes to ex...

By T'Bonz In 1976, Inside Star Trek was released, which was a look at the development of Star Trek as well as the story of Gene Roddenberry. One of the tracks on the album, “William Shatner meets Captain Kirk,” can be heard at Roddenberry.com and has Roddenberry and William Shatner asking each other qu...

By Allison Waldman After all, CBS Paramount has done very, very well with that original Star Trek episode. It's regarded as -- and is -- the all-time best show in the entire original ST canon. Ironically, Ellison never liked what Roddenberry and company had done with his script.Continue reading Harlan Elliso...

By Charlie Jane Anders So I admit it — I know very little about Andromeda, the Gene Roddenberry-inspired series that featured Kevin Sorbo in a tight uniform.

In the early 1970s Gene Roddenberry developed a number of sci-fi TV series to be his big follow-up for Star Trek, but none of them got past the pilot/TV movie stage. Next week Warner Bros will be releasing two of them on DVD for the first time: Genesis II and Planet Earth. We have details [...]

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) We both forgot Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the Emmys in the telecast and me in my post on those who left us this year. She was not a great actress or particularly well known outside of Star Trek, but that is still enough to make merit a mention. Mea culpa for however much blame I deserve.

By Captain Future(noreply@blogger.com) The first area is science. The original Roddenberry team did a lot of research in science and technology, as well as in science fiction, as they developed Star Trek. There got to be less of that over the years, but Star Trek still did keep developing stories that used new theories and ideas. But...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) You might even consider it a double miss, depending on your opinion of writer Tracy Torme. His original plan was for their to be a coup among high ranking Starfleet officials as a commentary on the Iran Contra scandal. Gene Roddenberry had kittens over the idea.

By Ronald D. Moore As a side note, Roddenberry made a similar decision on the original "Star Trek" series when he made the computer voice a woman -- I think there's an anecdote in Stephen Whitfield's "The Making of Star Trek" where they did some research about the US Air Force deciding that pilots listened to...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) “Assignment: Earth” is the most unusual episode of Trek as it served mainly as a pilot for a new show Gene Roddenberry was cooking up.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) This is the second script penned by science fiction great Theodore Sturgeon.

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Although Scotty was not dealing drugs, another character created just for this episode, Lt. Beckwith, is dealing in Jewels of Sound, a sonic narcotic. Roddenberry objected to having any of his perfect crew showing such poor character. Perhaps this was Roddenberry's complaint, and not de...

By Ed Driscoll Around 1964, Gene Roddenberry came up with the now legendary “transporter” effect for Star Trek, mostly out of necessity. I don’t think he believed that teleportation technology would actually exist within 300 years or so, but as a writer’s device, the transporter solved a myriad of pro...

By noreply@blogger.com (Jamie Jeffords) Star Trek is famous for allegedly being a groundbreaking source of progressive social commentary.
