EveningStar Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Gene Roddenberry was born 91 years ago today. Jonathan David Baird The Freehold August 19, 2012 Sorry to all you Star Trek fans out there. I may be the only science fiction fan in the universe that really hates his guts. He stands in the annals of history with Karl Marx as one of the most vile perpetrators of socialism and communism this planet has ever known. I call him the used philosophy salesman…. and he was good at that job, one of the best. Today is the anniversary of his birth and I have been constantly reminded of this all morning. Tributes everywhere I look to the man who turned the brains of a generation of science fiction fans to utter mush. If only he had passed on ten years earlier. We would never have had to put up with the inane techno-babble ramblings and neo-communist preaching of the Next Generation.

pollyannaish Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I find Star Trek entertaining enough, but I've always disliked Roddenberry. As far as I'm concerned he was only one tiny step away from being L. Ron Hubbard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
