A Daily Guide To Notable Shows
... Trek Nation
8-10 PM SCIENCe
The late Gene Roddenberry is rightly revered as a giant of science fiction, and this documentary from his son, Rod, pays hagiographic homage to the Star Trek creator's professional achievements, with help from such talking heads as J.J. Abrams, Ron Moore, and Seth MacFarlane. But Roddenberry Jr. also examines the personal shortcomings of his father, who apparently had a Kirk-esque eye for the ladies. As one family friend reveals, "He bragged to me that within seven days after being married to your mom, he was out messing around." The result is an often fascinating and boldly going look at a clay-footed pop culture icon.
