Started Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time last night. How big of an ongoing factor is "Q?" Because I kind of hate him. (kbin.social)

I also had no idea the top portion of the Starship Enterprise could separate like that. That was pretty sweet.

The first couple seasons were still under Gene Roddenberry's control. He maintained that there should not be any conflict between the crew members. That made the first couple seasons a little strange.

Interesting that it's considered to have gotten better when he wasn't controlling it? I didn't realize that.

He had his eccentricities. It's hard to make a compelling show about human stories when the main cast aren't allowed to have interpersonal conflicts. But his vision of the utopian future would be that society wouldn't have in-fighting anymore.
