Dorn, who played Worf for 7 seasons, says Next Generation was the first Trek series that truly captured Roddenberry's utopian ideals of a future where humanity has evolved beyond conflict and prejudice.
According to Dorn, the earlier Star Trek shows were often more focused on action and adventure, while Next Generation delved deeper into exploring societal issues and the human condition in a way that aligned with Roddenberry's core vision.
