I never really paid it much mind, I always suspected that Troi was a lesbian - but I think that about most hawt chicks. Also, I'm not sure that Roddenberry had much to do with TNG, Voyager and all - the credits just say 'based on an idea by Gene Roddenberry' so I just presumed he came up with the premis for the original series ... .
Btw, your first sentence there was a bit of a moment for me
You get it now though right? Ah well it was a lame joke anyway.
Nah, Roddenbury was a massive part of TNG. He even had a say in casting. He died part way through - a couple of series in I think. You'll notice that around that time the women's uniforms started getting a little more modest and miniskirts were replaced by trousers . I can just see the old perve slamming his fist on the board room table 'dammit, the skirts go over my dead body!'
Anyway, Troi?? You kidding me? She practically slid off her chair every time Riker looked at her. I think they did cover lesbianism in a small way with the Trill storyline in DS9 where Dax gets a 'male' symbiont and finds she has feelings for his ex wife. Can't remember if they got it on though.
Didn't they explore lesbianism a bit in one episode of TNG with Doctor Crusher and a male Trill getting a new symbiant who was female too
It's amazing how in the future nobody bats an eyelid with regards to inter-species mating, but they still worry about catching ghey

TNG was consistently good. DS9 had its moments. Voyager started slowly but picked up when the Borg got involved, Enterprise really didn't know what to do with itself, and by the time it got any good it had already lost too many fans.
I enjoyed TOS, but I don't really consider it to be in the same league as the rest, mainly because it was made 20 years before anything else. Without that though there wouldn't have been any others. There probably wouldn't have been any Babylon5, Lexx, Farscape, Andromeda, Battlestar Galactica, etc either...
The even numbered movies are good, the odd numbered ones suck. Best film is probably First Contact.
Errr, that's it.
