The "I won't try it because it's a prequel" argument reminds me of "Deep Space Nine is boring because the station doesn't move", as if every episode of TNG or TOS involved the ship being in motion, and if the presence of nacelles was somehow what made the writing good.
@Carlo@startrek I didn’t get into DS9 until I was older. I think its complexity and more morally grey tone would have put me off as a kid, but as an adult I loved it.
