He did qualify Roddenberry as 'Diet' L. Ron is alright....still a little harsh but I get it.

Roddenberry very similarly created a 'Cult of Personality' that was really difficult. All you have to do is listen to the complaints of all of his writers. He'd trash their work, re-write it.

He created a wonderful thing, but then its like he spent all of his time and dedication attempting to destroy it and the teams working around him were doing their best to keep it going.

The frustration of the writers around him was palpable.

I love Star Trek, but I dont believe that requires me to worship at the altar of Roddenberry. That guy was a straight up lunatic at times.
