   I enjoyed "Inside Trek" a lot which was written by Solow and Justman   
   primarily about the TOS years but touched on some of the insanity of the   
   movies and TNG where Justman came back and exited from quickly. Of course   
   you never get the unvarnished truth from such stuff but the stories where   
   quite entertaining. It's amazing to me to no end that TOS stuck around for   
   as long as it did after reading that book.

   Rom Moore seemed to have had a hand in the episodes I liked the most in the   
   TNG era, at least from just reading the credits. But after reading a lot   
   about how the business works or rather often doesn't a good writer or even   
   someone with a lot of common sense might not be able to hack being at the   
   helm with all the machinations that go on.   
      
   Show-bizness attracts more than it's share of people looking to make a buck   
   if by no other means than gumming up the works and ratfucking everyone.   
   Often times putting out something worth watching is the absolute LAST item   
   on their agenda which explains a lot...
