The Most Influential Man Of The 1960s Is...

Gene Roddenberry, of course. How many other writers have spawned a TV series that lasted more than 40 years?

From the frontiers of science to the end of our galaxy, Gene opened up the universe more than any other sci/fi writer in history.

I remember well my top ten favourites of all the episodes:

  1. The Squire Of Gothos
  2. Metamorphosis
  3. City On The Edge Of Forever
  4. Spectre Of The Gun
  5. Encounter At Farpoint
  6. Best Of Both Worlds
  7. Measure Of A Man
  8. The Offspring
  9. Remember Me
  10. All The "Q" Episodes

The whole medieval/religious concept of "heavens above" and "hell below" changed with Gene's viewpoint of high tech civilizations in a high tech universe. Our loss is the future's gain.
