    Isn't this 100% speculation? I get that we can make some informed guesses based on direction that some producers took that they said Gene wouldn't have allowed them to take, but still... Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 0:23

    @LightnessRacesinOrbit Fair enough, but I'd prefer non-speculative answers. For example if Berman is known to have reversed any of Roddenberry's "commands". Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 0:27

    I think it would be better to reword the question to ask that directly. "What aspects of TNG did Rodenberry advocate for that Berman reversed" is an answerable, non-speculative question. You could maybe ask "How did the post-Rodenberry TNG differ from his initial vision" as well, but would have to be careful to not make it speculative. As-is, the question title is click-baity and the answerable question you are searching for isn't immediately obvious. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 0:32

    It also doesn't help that you end your question with speculation of your own, which makes the question seem primarily opinion-based. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 0:38

    Zabeus I suggest you take a look at missionlogpodcast.com They have been going through every episode 1 by 1 each week and they recently just got to the episode where Gene died during and they even have panel during the 50th aniversary con discussing such things to some degree. If you're really interested in this question I think you'd be interested in that podcast as there are things that are talked about in there like how Gene wanted this way or that way and the evolution of TNG.
