For that reason, I found Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to be more ejoyable to watch - I like my scifi dark, flawed and dirty. The hero didn't always warp off into the sunset, and sometimes things went terribly wrong.
That's the same reason why I feel the 'modern' Battelstar Galactica is a far better scifi show than the Star Trek universe was.
I guess my scifi universe was painted by the classics from the likes of Issac Asimov, H.G. Wells, and Ray Bradbury - rarely did everything turn out the 'best' way, whereas Roddenberry's universe was always hopeful and good, filled with a bright future.
