considering the shit G Rod got up to like the astroturfed "fan" campaign to save the show through the chick he had running his shady side company he sold studio material through, and his massive sex pest inclinations?
Again, there was the small matter of the ongoing fuckhuge war at the time (I guess you could say it might have seemed more logical for Alexander to join Starfleet, but nonetheless, his joining the military under the circumstances is pretty understandable).
They kind of did that with Benjamin and Jake, though. Worf gets to play out the "badass dad frustrated by inept son" archetype instead.
Pretty much. Reading Roddenberry's original treatment for Star Trek, it becomes increasingly clear that the main reason that there are women aboard the Yorktown/Enterprise is fucking.
Klingons would love human Age of Sail naval warfare. Bad food, uncomfortable accommodations, constant threat of death from the enemy or the environment and the greatest glory that everyone wants is a boarding action where you wade into the enemy crew with blade in one hand and pistol in the other and capture their ship.
Indeed.
He also infamously wanted Deanna Troi to be a "four-breasted hermaphrodite," don't forget...
Of all the things Berman did to the franchise, his "music needs to be bland wallpaper to not distract from what you are watching" directive sticks out as unbelievably stupid and small minded even compared to the shit we have seen pulled in nu-trek.
Q Who and his score for The Best of Both Worlds part 1.
This one is my favorite
I have never ever heard this but I would 100% believe it given all the other shit he wanted to do in the series and how this plays into both his "new age smugfuck" schtick and his "horny old goblin" schtick
I guess we never will get a clear picture of the man. The closest we came to it was Zefram Cochrane, who (as most of you know) was a parody of the Great Bird.
Gene Rodenberry was an ugly incel who wanted the future to be non-stop orgies where no one could tell Gene Rodenberry no I will not have sex with you
I dunno... sounds like it could work as a great war time surprise...

I think looking at him in the same light as George Lucas is fairly apt. The rules and structure and "vision" he laid down for the setting along with a lot of the general worldbuilding are near perfect and made the franchise stand out in a positive way compared to other sci-fi franchises.
Dead 8chan meme is dead.
I've read somewhere that Roddenberry wanted 24th century Earth to be a planet-sized nudist colony, but I'm not sure what the source was.
With Klingon sea shanties!
With the difference that Lucas seems to have not wanted to have taken such a direct role in overseeing every aspect of production but kept getting forced into by circumstances.
Bad food and uncomfortable accommodations is mostly an English tradition and the Japanese Imperial Navy did adopt the uncomfortable accommodations at a later point. Everyone else made it a point to have at least somewhat good food and (semi)comfortable accommodations.Klingons would love human Age of Sail naval warfare.

he strongly believed in chicks fucking him
