We spoke w/ RodRoddenberry about the future of StarTrek at NYCC last weekend.
Before Paramount+ beamed down the incredible casts of Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Prodigy at New York Comic Con, Collider caught up with Rod Roddenberry to discuss his father, Gene Roddenberry, the Roddenberry Archive, and the technology of Star Trek, and to push back at William Shatner's comments about the new era of the franchise.
ROD RODDENBERRY: Truthfully, well, when I was younger, there was maybe a little weight on my shoulders in terms of — and this is all self-imposed — because I truly became proud of my father's legacy and the Star Trek philosophy because I agree with it. And I've really just made it my own.
RODDENBERRY: What a great question. You know, Star Trek always appealed to, I think back in the old days, 30 40 50 years ago, Star Trek spoke to the disenfranchised. But back then, there were the stereotypes of the nerds and the jocks and the geeks and all that sort of stuff. What has happened over the years is that we've all realized that we're all sort of geeks in one way. If you ride a Harley and wear chaps that you're dressing in a costume, you're a geek for Harleys.
RODDENBERRY: That's a great question. I'm not sure I can even speak to that, to be honest. You know, they've got these five shows up that are so different right now, and have a different kind of audience. You can love one, and maybe not like another, or you can love them all. But they are so unique and different, and they speak to a different audience. I think that's what's important. You know, if all five shows were kind of the same, it'd be kind of boring, arguably.
