Watching these Gene Roddenberry quotes Instagram videos has made me intrigued about this SNW cast. Onwards and upwards.

Watching those videos makes me think that Roddenberry didn't have all that many great quotes and I'm not sure why they keep doing this.

Gene had as many memorable quotes as I have fingers on one hand and there might be space left over. He had a few good ones but he wasn't a quip machine.

Most of his quotes are based on lies but he really did do a good job of inspiring people with the vision stuff.

I'm convinced that First Contact's Zephram Cochrane is inspired by Roddenberry. A self-centered, sketchy guy who happened to create something special, and got lionized for it.

Anyway, I didn't realize that some of the people reading quotes were SNW actors. I've seen the press releases but the names and faces haven't gotten ingrained in my memory yet.

[The Wormhole]

I'm convinced that First Contact's Zephram Cochrane is inspired by Roddenberry.

Everyone thinks that, though Moore and Braga have denied it.

 

[Jayson1]

I wonder what wisdom Roddenberry would have had about the Tuvix issue.

 

[cooleddie74]

Sell merchandise of him?

We're supposed to be posting fake quotes, not things he actually said.

Sell merchandise of him?

Sell it twice.

[cooleddie74]

Sell it twice.

If only Gene had thought of adding coffee.
