Harlan Ellison's book is definitely worth reading. I had heard the bad things Roddenberry said about the original script, and, yeah, they're not true 
Regarding the Prime Directive, it's the kind of thing that gets suspended in an emergency. You can have a rule about not interfering with native people, but if in WW II you really have to put an airfield on that island, you do it. I'm sure that's the experience Coon was drawing on.

Re: Some sort of Star Trek - The Original Series [spoilers]
A warning to anyone now interested in going back and watching classic Trek: A couple years ago, Paramount paid a company to do new CGI effects for the original episodes, and that's the version now streaming on Netflix. They tried, but from what I remember at the time they had to crank them out on a fast schedule. The result is... lacking, although not horrible. The Phase II guys do better, but then they can barely do an episode a year.

Apparently they used a fan made mesh which had way to many polygons for them to render without bringing down the resolution and it wasn't til the second batch that they brought that down so they could render the ship with more detail and they remastered the episodes in a completely random order so the CG jumps up and down as you watch the show.
the colour grade and matte paintings look great though.
