It’s hard to say. Personally, I think the Roddenberry formula was paramount to getting the feel of Star Trek right, but I think Trek is at its best when it’s a bit more self-aware. DS9 is probably my favorite series in all, but that’s because it took tropes defined in TNG (which is a seminal TV series, generally, to my mind) and tested them on a regular basis. I find that kind of departure very compelling.
