I’m trying to find a way to reconcile some of Rod Roddenberry’s recent social media statements with the positives in interviews with from Kurtzman and Osunsamni.

Rod Roddenberry has not critiqued Secret Hideout but has talked about how there is potential for more positive Star Trek that fulfills his father’s concept of modeling a utopian society.

So, clearly Roddenberry Entertainment is pressing for some strategic influence in future shows.

That said, it makes one wonder how much strategic direction for darker peak television may have come from the highest levels at CBS and Paramount…
