Is Gene Roddenberry overrated? I kinda think so. TOS was basically Forbidden Planet: the Series. He had a couple of good ideas but a good bit of the best stuff came from other people. He didn't really do much post-TOS and many of his ideas for TMP and TNG were terrible.
P.S. He did do an awesome job with The Cage, imo. Top 3 TOS ep for me.
