It was a friggin' tv show about a guy using his ship and crew to get him into situations where he could do some shoulder roles, shoot aliens, chew scenery, and bag a few green chicks. There's no deeper message to be had despite all pretensions.
Ah but Roddenbery WAS pretentious!
For most of the audience it was just space opera/ cowboys with lasers but for him and other shows that started as pure mindless entertainment that slip a liberal bias into the plotline, it became a sly way to spread their "righteous" doctrine and make money as well.

Exactly. And the message was embarrassingly simplistic, kindergarten stuff.
