But illogical. The number one rule was to not interfere on planets with feline life.

Star Trek: Discovery is shedding a creative restriction that’s long frustrated top writers on previous shows in the franchise.
Showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg — working from a creative roadmap laid out by executive producer Bryan Fuller — are delivering a Trek saga that gets rid of one the franchise’s decades-old limitations in an effort to evolve the series.
As part of Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s utopian vision of the future (and one that Trek franchise executive producer Rick Berman carried on after Roddenberry’s death in 1991), writers on Trek shows were urged to avoid having Starfleet crew members in significant conflict with one another (unless a crew member is, say, possessed by an alien force), or from being shown in any seriously negative way.

The "Space Hippie" playing that instrument ("Adam") is Charles Napier in one of his earliest roles. He later went on to play the leader of "The Good Ole Boys" in "The Blues Brothers."
In Roddenberry’s utopian future, human weaknesses were engineered out. So people would risk their lives to travel in space with NO PAY. They all worked for the common good of mankind with no serious disagreements.
Without space hippies we would never get to see Spock jam.
There’s a link on that page that takes you to one of those
“what they look like now” pages. It’s got LOTS of the ST franchise acting staff. It essentially lists their filmography. Picardo, Delancie, and Meany also had significant roles in the Stargate and/or Stargate:Atlantis series. None of them mention that. Can’t help but wonder why!
Speaking of Picardo, when we watch reruns of Voyager, if it’s an all-doctor-all-the-time episode, we skip it!
I really miss the Ferengi and their Rules of Acquisition.
How much cold pressed latinum to bring them back?
need a movie how the deep space stations came into being.
Like 24? Los Angeles has just been nuked and CTU employees are bickering about their desk chairs being left at the wrong height after being borrowed, or some other similar nonsense. Jack should have kneecapped the writers of the B-storyline.

Yeah
i love that episode. Yay brother!
Have you ever seen the pilot episode of Lost in Space?
Much more serious with Dr. Smith as a villain who was programming the robot to destroy the Jupiter 2 after liftoff.
But Smith got trapped on board and the hilarity ensured
"Clattering collection of cogs and camshafts." One of my favorites.
"Ohhhhh, the pain! The pain!"
I liked the rule that guest stars had to be currently popular and in most cases exceptionally attractive.
Joan Collins - “The City on the Edge of Forever”
Lee Meriwether - “That Which Survives” (also Catwoman on the 1960s Batman)
Julie Newmar - “Friday’s Child” (another Catwoman on the 1960s Batman)
Yvonne Craig - “Whom Gods Destroy” (Batgirl on the 1960s Batman)
Ricardo Montalban - “Space Seed”
Frank Gorshin - “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” (Riddler on the 1960s Batman)
Teri Garr - “Assignment: Earth”
I also liked the rule that the crew acted professionally, without all the soap opera nonsense. But the guest stars were a bigger deal to a young male viewer (although I would not have stuck with the series just to see a couple of my favorite Catwoman actresses and Batgirl, at least not quite as long).
Will they show the Crew waling into the Unisex Unialien Bathroom? All those Star Trek themed Shows and I’ve never seen a Bathroom on the Enterprise.
I wonder what the little Placard on the Doors will look like.
Do Aliens use a Bidet?
Watched some old episodes of TNG and Voyager several months ago. The blatant P.C. shocked me!!
Loved the shows when they first came out,
(except the episode where the guy who played Major Charles Emerson Winchester III on MASH had to euthanized because he turned 60 and then was considered a burden for the younger generations (That really was an episode!!!).
I will never watch it again.
“Why Dr.Smith was never shot”
ROFL! He should have been shot for being so annoying! And his voice!

Had a happy ending. Those pretentious dirty hippies that weren't dead were burned with acid.
Ditto with 'Easy Rider'.
McCoy vs Spock arguing.
Now I guess they will have the actors in fist fights.
Which means it will be just like all the other crap on TV: chock full of whiny, self-absorbed retards who think the pinnacle of human existence boils down to who they are having sex with today.
