You never thought that Star Trek plots were allegories simply plucked from the headlines of the day?

Okay. So what inspired And So the Children Shall Lead? (TOS, third season.)

It’s about children getting possessed and murdering everybody.

Oh. And Threshold’s Salamander-Children. (Voyager. Janeway topped Paris and created a new hyper advanced evolution of…humanity…?)

Roddenberry loved his god-like children plots. Charlie X. Trelane. Even Q. Every time he had writers block, he'd spew out another one of those.

Wesley wast the worst of these. (and a total write-in.)
