    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.
