True he was a leftist but he seemed to make it enjoyable. Also I’d say making an allegory about racism in the 50s and 60s is different than an allegory based on a false narrative.
Exactly. Roddenberry's vision was a future void of discrimination through the elevation of the human consciousness. Michelle Paradise's vision is a future ideologically void of discrimination through tyrannical dogma.
Voyager was bullshit because Janeway had to be the best at everything.
Remember in the Pegasus where Picard was like "couldn't we flood the area with tachyon particles" and Data's just like "uh, no, that would be really dumb. But we could use ionizing radiation"... that was fine because Picard didn't have to be the best at science.
Draw that line wherever you want, but every series has gone further downhill and even TNG is questionable at times.
This doesn't bother me because Trek ended in 2002. It was a good run.
Agreed. The showrunner for current trek openly said he wants to piss people on the right off.
Which was definitely Gene Roddenberry's vision

Star Trek, after Enterprise, is dead to me.
I'd include Enterprise too. It started a bit weak, but got cancelled when it really found its footing. The last episode sucked though.
Also, ngl, the Kelvinverse movies are a guilty pleasure. But, I don't consider them to be real Trek.
Personally I'd go with the end of Voyager in 2001.
I didn't like Nemesis that much, but at least it wasn't the utter travesty the franchise has become.
