LOL…. Was that an awkward silence, or just limited animation?

Prior to “Star Trek”, Gene Roddenberry’s biggest gig was writing for “Have Gun – Will Travel”.

I am sad to report that the worst episodes of HGWT are generally the Roddenberry episodes, in that his handling of women is poor even by the standards of other writers.

If he’s not depicting them mouthy broads who need to learn to shut up so they can get a husband, they are silent passive creatures who exist for Paladin to partake of like free samples at the grocery store.

I’ll be watching an episode of HGWT and someone says the most sexist thing I ever heard, and I say to myself, “yep, Roddenberry episode”.

All of that said … as a rule I don’t buy the “man of his time” argument; slaveowners may have been men of their time, but they were also recognized as monsters by their contemporaries, so they don’t get a pass.
