[QUOTE="Zable, post: 211564, member: 47"] To your question, I say no. And, I think it was no coincidence that the original series was made when it was. Gene Roddenberry was part of a group that was receiving messages from off planet. I know that because I stumbled across his name in a book which had transcripts of some of the conversations. I've forgotten the content as it's been 20 years since I read that book. I hope to lay hands on it again someday. I suspect there were a lot more such conversations in which he participated that weren't published. I believe it was that experience of non-human contact via channelled messages which lead Roddenberry to create Star Trek, except it wasn't all science fiction in his mind. The altruism and optimism for the future that he got out of those channelled Q&A sessions transferred to his work. The other developers of the franchise have never had a connection to the extra-terrestial group to which Roddenberry was connected, and didn't/don't desire to be steadfast to his envisionings.
