I always saw him as an evolution of Secret Agent Man

It appears, the character concept was evolved later ...

There's some twaddle about the Picard series, but as I've never wasted a minute on them, I can only declare them null and void.

Except to say from the Wiki, it was exactly as I would have expected:

"... the character Tallinn is introduced. She is shown to be a supervisor, in 2024, carrying out the same role of guiding important human events that Gary Seven ..."


Rodenberry was planning his exit from Star Trek and working his next concept. A dude has to make a living.
