Roddenberry was outraged over nuTrek long before be died. Article shows what a control freak he was. Good thing he was out for DS9.

The real problem are the ancient fans who treat Roddenberry as their cult leader!

On July 21, 2022, as moderator Kevin Smith looked on, Shatner answered a fan question about the newer Trek series and if any “rivaled his own.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Shatner said that “none of them” are as good as TOS.

“I got to know [Trek creator] Gene Roddenberry in three years fairly well,” Shatner added, “he’d be turning in his grave at some of this stuff.”

Ah yes, Satan2016, the resident MovieChatter who regularly sleeps with Alex Kurtzman. A man who couldn't be bribed any further to spout that idiot's hateful, dystopian drivel.
