‘In novels, stream of consciousness goes inside the heroe’s head and you can read what he’s thinking. You don’t have that in television, and so I thought that if I took a perfect person and divided him into three parts I could have the administrative, courageous part that would be the Captain, the logical part who is the Science Officer and the humanistic part with the Doctor.’

 Gene Roddenberry
