Don't get me wrong. I LOVED Speed. I LOVED Terminator. I like action films. But look at Star Trek IV, not II. There's almost no fighting in IV. Yet that was my favorite as a kid growing up.

I think in the movies era home boy really started believing in humanism and you saw the change that drove him to push for the humanist TNG that we all think is the startrek motus oporandi
During the development of TNG he wanted NO conflict, pretty interesting, the writers had a hard time trying to figure out how to tell a story if everyone in the future were perfect.
He was taken off the show at the end of season 2 and thats when they were able to change the direction a bit and make it the series we all know and love (dont get me wrong i love all seasons of TNG, but you cant argue that 1 & 2 are not pretty bad and VERY derivative of the old series even though he wanted them to be so different)
Also recently heard a theory that BLEW my fucking mind, and was ashamed I didnt come up with it.
That TNG is a metaphore for Heaven.. Q is god, and everyone lives in peace. The holodeck allows people to live in infinite worlds...
I think its more of a coincidence though, becuse he knew he wanted to make the series his humanist utopia vision, and Q was added on the fly when he was forced to change the pilot into a 2hour episode.
But who knows, maybe at that moment is when he decided to write the show as what heaven really is.
I sure hope its fucking heaven. I can tell you that much, know why? Cus then we get to live in mother fuckin startrek world ahhhh yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis
Cus then we get to
