Gene Roddenberry was responsible for Season 1 of TNG. That was his new-age vision. Go back and try to watch it. It's horrifyingly bad.

I mean, still better than Picard (which I couldn't get through even half the season of) but pretty bad. There are two good versions of Trek: post-season-2 TNG where you have a bunch of likable characters in morality plays, and DS9, which is a more serialized and character-driven version of what Trek can be. Lots of reasonable ground for disagreement about which of those is better. But it's neither Roddenberry Trek, nor is it the garbage that's been hocked as Star Trek in the last couple of decades.

You'd think there has to be a Star Trek version of Dave Filoni somewhere to hand the keys to, right?
