S'ok, now that he's been chosen, what's he gonna do?

Or maybe this is where the Roddenberry Bush is?

And is it burning?

You caught the reference, I take it?

I think so. I think it's one of two things:

First, Roddenberry was the son of a Baptist minister who rammed that denomination's dogma down Roddenberry's throat to the point that he rebelled from his old man by becoming an atheist. Ironically, some of Star Trek's best themes come straight from the Bible and, in fact, the characters quote Jesus verbatim! First example that comes to mind was "The Empath," where Kirk, Spock, and Bones get caught by some race that tortures them to see if the Empath will sacrifice herself to save them, and so determine which of two races the aliens will preserve. In one scene, Bones names her "Gem," because "she's a treasure that a man went and sold all he had to buy her."

Second, the other reference was that Roddenberry was cremated and his ashes shot into outer space.

Were one of those two the correct reference?

I really didn't know he was an atheist! *nods* there was at least one other episode of Star Trek, but there also seemed to be a religious bent to his one series, 'Andromeda.'


Actually, it was a reference to him made in this espisode of the series 'Quark' (which was one of the worst sci-fi comedies ever made) [link]

I had forgotten that show! Yeah, I agree with you that it was the worst sci-fi show. The only thing that interested me were the aliens, but not much else.
