'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' -- one of many 'Star Trek' spinoffs -- has been billed as a return to the optimism and romanticism of the original series, which ran from 1966-69.
Rod Roddenberry Jr. is the only son of"Star Trek's" iconic creator, but he never watched the show growing up. He was more into cars, heavy metal music and watching action television shows like"Starsky & Hutch" and"Knight Rider."
"It wasn't until I got older and more mature that I began to appreciate the depth and the intellectual side of 'Star Trek,'" says Roddenberry, who was 17 when his father, Gene, died. Years later, Roddenberry had a Trekkie conversion experience. He started watching reruns and talking to fans who told stories of the show helping them develop more faith in humanity.
