- On July 14, 1994, the A&E cable network aired a documentary about the life of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry. The program was later released on home video VHS cassette, from which this copy was made.
A world without Gene Roddenberry's would be a very dull and mundane world indeed?!
It's amazing that after seeing dozens of doc's, we can still learn new things and Gene! 🤘😁👍🇨🇦
Thank you for posting this. Star Trek still somehow lives long and prospers. 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿
It is thanks to fans like us that kept the spirit of Star Trek alive
@@Terryfan I think that Gene would be especially honored by how Strange New Worlds is building upon his originally intended Star Trek pilot under Captain Pike's command.
@@mikebasil4832 The way Star Trek should be.
@@Terryfan Nah, we now have the original GeneTrek, JJTrek (fine cast, lousy scripts), and the disappointment that is KurtzTrek (which Gene Jr. "Rod", executive produces)...
I think that Gene would be so disappointed in what his son has allowed to happen, now that Majel is gone too...
I recommend "Star Trek Continues" to TOS fans to finish Kirk's five year mission... too bad CBS/Paramount forced it to cut the number of episodes...
@@Terryfan Happy Star Trek Day! 🖖🏻🖖🏼🖖🏽🖖🏾🖖🏿
Smiling Spock always gets me in those early episodes and the cage lol
Coolness, the origins.
God bless.
I never realized how much Gene Roddenberry and Henry Winkler looked alike. lol

gene a legend
This was so wonderful!!!
Yes. It still is after so long and always helps to boost my optimism for humanity.
Peter Graves did Biographys better than Biography did them.
Gene is also a World War 2 hero.
AND HIS WORK LIVES ON! ONTO NEW FRONTIERS!!!!
Peter Graves, do you like movies about gladiators ?
😂
Was he ever in a Turkish prison?
Funny how this Bio glosses over Gene's drug addictions and mistresses.
And his poor script writing, his ego, his constant meddling, his alcoholism. Nobody liked working with him and for that matter liked having him around. He was a despicable person to say the least.
But Trekkies don't care about that. So what if it is a junkie, alcoholic womaniser? So it is an egotistical bully. It doesn't matter, it has a vision afterall! Oh wow yeah, heh, the vision....
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg how frigging sad.
@@cheedevulan8547 I separate the art from the artist. For example, Roman Polanski is a great director but he is the human equivalent of feces.
In the second pilot, the tombstone created by Mitchell said, "James R. Kirk"... oops... ;-)
And Chekov wasn't in the second pilot. He was added later in the series to get those "Beatles Kids"... ;-)
Roddenberry was a visionary, but his ego got in the way of his creative mind. Paramount made the right decision to remove him from any creative input after the first film. Every movie made after 1979 was more successful than the original because Roddenbury’s suggestions were ignored.
I believe that Gene definitely should not have been the be all, end all of this franchise but I think the subsequent films would have benefited from more of his input.
@@ricardocantoral7672 Learning about creative control issues behind the scenes of our favourite TV shows and movies, certainly in the case of Star Trek, can be very depressing.
Patrick Stewart the worst captain in Star Trek, why you may ask well i complained on the clothes where not comfortable enough for him, well its a show not a dam fashion show and Mikel Dorn never complained and had the war prosthetics !
I always felt Picard was too much of a philosopher. Kirk and Sisko are vastly superior.
He didn’t say they weren’t comfortable, he said they didn’t look right. So they changed them slightly.
@@ricardocantoral7672 They were all different. That was the point. Picard is my favourite.
