I think one attribute GENE had that many are lacking now is a strong belief in Humanity.For a man who fought in WW2,was an LA police officer,ya would think he had seen people at their worst but somehow his optimism in what we could become was overpowering.I know they are out there,somewhere.....
I just recently found out, that this amazing human being is a relative of mine. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. I watched the reruns of Star Trek growing up in the '70s. I didn't matter how many times I'd seen the episodes I'd watch them over and over and over again. I wish I would have found that when I was younger that I was related to him. We have the same great grandfather He's Gene's 8x Great grandfather. My 9x great-grandfather.. 🌠
Gene is not just the creator of star trek, he's the father of star trek, he's an icon and also a legend, he will forever be missed by those who knew him and i would like to thank him for this science fiction series, it was a huge part of my life and his legacy will live on.
No one is "forever missed" that implies that someone has disappeared forever, people continue on in the after life, you need to read some of the near death experiences.
Gene Roddenberry was very influential on me as a writer. His form of storytelling and use of character archetypes just resonated and his cautious optimism was comforting to me especially presently. I think our world is a lot better with him in it than without.

Thanks for sharing this interesting interview. I gives me the feeling that I understand Roddenberry's values and goals. He was open enough to admit that he uses tobacco and alcohol, even though his believes they are harmful. If you read about him in Wikipedia, you learn how amazingly productive he was, despite unhealthy habits, which also included other drugs.
What an amazing man. I've never been the biggest fan of the shows he created, but he had vision, and he did things back then that no one was. Got a lot of love for this guy!
Thank you Great Bird for the wonderful gifts you have given us. Thank you to all the writers and associates who helped with his vision. You all gave a wonderful gift call Star Trek to the 🌎
Hollywood has desperately needed this man he wasn't afraid to admit when he was wrong and his main goal was to show a future everyone no matter the disability or race would want to be a part of. Nowadays it's just pretty people blowing pure evil up and getting the girl

Who could have imagined the depth of humanity Gene Roddenberry possessed? What a humble and beautiful human being. Barbarianbros many thanks for this GOLD x
Gene really was the duality of man embodied. On one hand he was all about optimism for the future with eliminating poverty and illiteracy and adventuring in to space with your family. On the other hand, even during this time he was a cocaine and booze addict who was completely unfaithful to his wife and son causing them a lot of pain. He was a complex figure.
@MonkeyZorr why you say something so nasty? clearly your not a person that likes star trek or you wouldnt say such things. specialy to such a neutral comment
He is one of the great ethical and philosophical thinkers of our age. Many people aren't interested in deep concepts. It is truly their loss...Roddenberry has informed my life in more ways than the most celebrated philosophers.
Phobos Anomaly Well theres some things about his philosophies which i disagree with but i appreciate the picture of a brighter tomorrow with no war, no racism, and equality between men and women.
The thing is Gene Roddenberry had an amazing imagination" he contributed to the television industry of those of favorite shows and reruns and all the spinoffs from Star Trek" Just saw deep space nine last night And I reading just last night that some of his ashes was launched into outer space 🌌 As Timothy McNary and other's! I pray that He rest in heaven in peace 🕊️ In Christ Jesus The 👑 of King's" And Lord of Lord's" Amen 🙏🕊️✡️📖✝️🕊️
Well I hate to tell you this Gene but the trekkers have taken over some of the Star Trek projects. 1. The fans regularly do Star Trek novels. 2. The fans put together the classic Trek fanfilm Star Trek Continues.
He chose a Scot as engineer because Scots are great ship builders? The English are the traditional sailors and ship builders. Nelson wasn't Scottish, and it was the English who repelled the Spanish Armada. Ironically, Roddenberry objected to having Picard played by an Englishman. They also originally intended to make the character Picard English. I wonder if it was Roddenberry who had them make him French instead?
Ah yes, Nelson the builder, not the admiral, and the Armada that was mainly damaged by storms. But 5 seconds of google show that Scotland had large industrial shipbuilding.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 Firstly, I didn't say that Nelson built ships. Secondly, the Spanish Armada had already been defeated by the English fleet when it was forced to make their way around Scotland and was almost totally destroyed by storms. Lastly, we are quite capable of making our own ships in places like Plymouth and Portsmouth if the pro-unionist London government wasn't busy sending jobs up to Scotland in a desperate attempt to suck up to the Scots.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 I think you misunderstand. When they were casting for TNG he strongly objected to making the Enterprise captain an Englishman, as if that was somehow inappropriate. Now, in contrast we hear him say in this video that he was all in favour of making the engineer a Scot, because they're somehow natural ship builders. I'd have you know that we were building and sailing ships around the world when the Scots were running around half naked and living in huts! If it wasn't for our sailors and ships there'd be no Jamestown, no Plymouth Rock, no Thirteen Colonies, no President George Washington, no USA or Canada, and no weird Anglophobic American talking a load of BS!
What about Queensway House in Hatfield, Hertfordshire and facing iminent demolition if things don't change bloody quickly. I do not want to lose my home. I love it here but council wants to move somewhere else and demolish this tower block.
So glad Roddenberry didn’t have to live long enough to see his work get destroyed by this new horrible writers/companies. Picard sucks, STD sucks… the movies are garbage but it is JJ. Destroyed Star Wars too
Well if Roddenberry were still alive these new crap shows wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have allowed them to drag the philosophy of Star Trek into the mud.
Actually it was the common people that built the pyramids, and they did it willingly to support their pharaoh who to them was a god. The idea they used slaves is a common misconception.

R.I.P. Gene Roddenberry, you gave us a wonderful gift, thank you.
indeed, he gave us a vision of the future which still prevails today over 50 plus years later. Thank you Gene. LLAP.
Gene your creation has guided my morals, ideas and thoughts for as long as I can remember, thankyou.

Every once in awhile when I'm feeling sad I pull up this video, Gene Roddenberry just always gives you a sense of optimism
I have massive admiration for this man.
What an absolutely delightful man!

What a treasure of a human being. The way he ended almost each question with that heartwarming smile❤️
Yeah, his smile was so genuine and just gave us a smile back.
It is one of the thrills of my life that I got to meet him and talk briefly with him in April 1983.

RIP Roddenberry, you have given humanity something to look up for, a bright future to turn to in today's darkness.
RIP Gene Roddenberry (August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991), aged 70
You will be remembered as a legend.

Barbarianbros many thanks for this GOLD x
A soaring sense of life. Gene knew humanity could be improvable and he shared his splendid vision!
again I can not thank this Man enough.
"R" (the world is a better place) "Thank you Gene" ((I am honored to be a part of your dream))
Gene truly was the Great Bird of the Galaxy , , , ,thank you for posting this IMPORTANT Gene interview 😸👍👍
A true hero and a legend. I hope to meet him one day, a place far beyond the stars.
That is impressive Roddenberry ..inspiring star of STAR TREK
Kurtzman should watch this interview. Maybe we could've avoided some of the horrific recent shows
Rodenberry most be rolling his grave so hard now that we can feed a entire warp engine.
Kurtzman hates Star Trek and loves Star Wars and it shows in spades.
Gene really was the duality of man embodied. On one hand he was all about optimism for the future with eliminating poverty and illiteracy and adventuring in to space with your family. On the other hand, even during this time he was a cocaine and booze addict who was completely unfaithful to his wife and son causing them a lot of pain. He was a complex figure.
Like human?
Gene came to our High School in Va in the late 60s and lectured to us in the auditorium. Pretty cool.
I never got to see this, I had 25th Anniversary on CD but Judgement Rites on disk, 9 disks if I remember correctly.
what would be great is a movie on Gene Rodenverry's life he is a legend of scifi ..
Best Gene interview!
In "The Cage" documentary he's wearing science blue, here he's wearing command yellow!
Gene Roddenberry truly was a visionary. And its sad how the Star Trek franchise has gotten away from science and more into "action". OH JOY..
May his legacy continue to “live long and prosper.” 🖖🏻
i love this man
what a god, Star Trek forever, may it live long and prosper
a thoughtful writer uplifting humanity. what a contrast from today's writers.
Mr. Roddenberry was a genius. RIP.
great man thank you for the hope
100 years Gene Roddenberry 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That’s what will happen on August 19th.
@@darthkurland I Love him. His wife is also great
@@steveroger3669 I agree. Majel was an unforgettable woman both on and off screen.
@@darthkurland 👍
This is amazing to see. Someone told me he survived some crazy things like plane crashes. This guy is phenomenal
+BlinkinFirefly: I've been reading Roddenberry's biography this week. Here's a link to the plane crash story:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_121
Very enjoyable and enlightening.
I want Gene's optimism to return to Star Trek. I am sick and tired of "Action Trek" and the pessimistic view of the future.
Nice to see you are a fan of Dungeon Keeper aswell.
Gene Roddenberry r.i.p 😢😞😭😿
True legend hero inspiration only person I ever really looked up to
RIP not just Gene, but his Vision which died in 2005 with Paramount axing Enterprise. The reboots are NOT his vision.
13:40 - 14:26
Gene Roddenberry talking to fans and haters of Star Trek: Discovery(STD)
Lol. So chagning star Trek to appeal to non-fans is what Roddenberry meant? Ok. Yeah. Sure.
Trekkies back then were different from Trekkies of today. I am sure if he were alive he would be somewhat derivatives of the views in this interview.
@@paradiddlemcflam7167 it works both ways. he said "i will do it my way" so therefor non fans opinions cant decide how the show should be either.
@MonkeyZorr why you say something so nasty? clearly your not a person that likes star trek or you wouldnt say such things. specialy to such a neutral comment
God bless you Sir!
I can hardly believe that the man responsible for the Star Trek series and spin offs has an interview with such little views. Now thats disappointing
He is one of the great ethical and philosophical thinkers of our age. Many people aren't interested in deep concepts. It is truly their loss...Roddenberry has informed my life in more ways than the most celebrated philosophers.

I think it's nice how he whistles on his s's.
Gene, I love you're IDEAS !!!!!!!!!
I love him.
Gene had high hopes for man. But then man created New Trek and "Star Trek: Picard"...
Well I hate to tell you this Gene but the trekkers have taken over some of the Star Trek projects. 1. The fans regularly do Star Trek novels. 2. The fans put together the classic Trek fanfilm Star Trek Continues.
And now we have Michael Burnnam....

how could this be from 1995 when he died in 1991?

@@barbarianbros you’re right. The interview was actually conducted in 1988. But a lot of it hadn’t been seen until this release.

Always read the description before posting a 'correction' comment
@@barbarianbros maybe it wasn't a correction, maybe it was a random fact. Don't jump to conclusions with your 'defensive' comments.
I LOVE YOU : GENE !!!!!!!
You're my GOD !!!!!!!!!
Guilty as charged. I think of naked girls in breast plates to, Or without the breast plates.😥
i miss when Star Trek was written and created by geniuses. now it beyond sucks.
So glad Roddenberry didn’t have to live long enough to see his work get destroyed by this new horrible writers/companies. Picard sucks, STD sucks… the movies are garbage but it is JJ. Destroyed Star Wars too
Well if Roddenberry were still alive these new crap shows wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have allowed them to drag the philosophy of Star Trek into the mud.
Subtitles please.
Does a great job of covering up the perverted sex maniac within. The only other movie he wrote screenplay for: Pretty Maids All In A Row.
Dude, like friends, I love you !!!!!!!!
It's everything all the new trek past voyager isn't
The documentary "Chaos on the Bridge" is nothing but a defamation of Gene' s character. They didnt like him because he was a libertarian.
Interesting. Non-sarcastic question: How do you know he was a libertarian? (I am one myself).
He is also the father of Andromeda and Earth: final conflict
"Human beings build the pyramids, because they're clever and worked hard..." - and also had a huge amount of slaves back then 😂
Hey, that's both hard work and cleverness.
Actually it was the common people that built the pyramids, and they did it willingly to support their pharaoh who to them was a god. The idea they used slaves is a common misconception.
