Doesn't get it, or too full of himself?

patgundThere are times I really think Orson Scott Card is just too full of himself. (well, that and he's too much in love with his own writing to realize when a series much be finished once and for all.)
His rant against "Star Trek" is a great example of this.
Strange New World: No 'Star Trek'(LA Times)
"So why did the Trekkies throw themselves into this poorly imagined, weakly written, badly acted television series with such commitment and dedication? Why did it last so long?
Here's what I think: Most people weren't reading all that brilliant science fiction. Most people weren't reading at all. So when they saw "Star Trek," primitive as it was, it was their first glimpse of science fiction. It was grade school for those who had let the whole science fiction revolution pass them by."
