I too find myself gripped by the memoirs. It's more than just a behind the scenes look, as you said. I hope it's more than just me wanting more of something I can't get enough of. But you make a poignant observation about the series actually driving the actors to confront themselves. Wow. In a way, then, Roddenberry's vision of a better humanity starts with the men and women in the memoir mirror. Even if Shatner just confesses, he improves. I really like your tie-in with religion as well. It's weirdly fascinating how all these facets come together in the memoirs. Thanks so much for this. This is a brilliant essay, Spencer.
