YOU KNEW GENE RODDENBERRY?! THAT IS SO AMAZING!! What was he like??
What was he like?
Complicated. Deeply flawed.
What was he like, speaking only from my personal interactions with him over the years 1966-1982?
Warm. Open-minded. Generous. Erratic. Fatherly. Inspirational.
I’m well aware I experienced only one or two sides of a multifaceted personality. Looking back with all I now know, I see him as neither hero nor villain, but as a very flawed person with an amazing vision, which I’m glad he passed on to the world. I’m glad I had a chance to know him.
