For anyone interested in a fascinating look into the background of the original series, or just the process for making shows in the 60s, (plus a healthy dose of vintage Hollywood gossip) I strongly suggest you check out the Solow/Justman book
Inside Star Trek: The Real Story

Probably my favorite book in the "behind the scenes" genre.
I'll be the first to admit that Gene was a pot smoking, abusive, adulterous jerk who stole all the credit and alienated half the writers who worked on the show. But he was no where near as bad as Columbus was.
I can understand how you can see the fanbase whitewash a lot of what Gene did over the years as an analogy to Columbus, but I still think its unfair to make that comparison to a guy who literally enslaved people.
(If anyone doesn't believe me on the stuff I said about Gene go read Herbert F. Solow & Robert H. Justman's book).
One thing I will say in Gene's defense, to paraphrase Riker: I don't think you're a saint, but you did have a vision, and now were sitting in it.
They have it sourced as well. I wonder where the source got that information. I'm so confused. o_O
