In Star Trek 4 I always interpreted it as Scotty trading the secrets to transparent aluminum for the acrylic that they needed, but everyone else Ive ever talked to says that stuff IS the transparent aluminum. which is it?

Weirdly it seemed like in TOS, Rodenberry and the other show-runners had no problem with Starfleet basically being the military and the Enterprise being a military vessel, even if it was one on an 'exploration' mission. It wasn't until TNG that Rodenberry seemed to really start pushing his weird utopian ideas about what the Federation was supposed to be. Like you never saw kids and families on the original Enterprise.

From what I've heard, Rodenberry wasnt happy with how Starfleet was portrayed in Wrath of Khan, being the military and nothing else as opposed to a peaceful organization of exploration and science that was also the military.

TNG was likely him overcompensating
