Okay, the next person who says "The Trek that is without the Shat is not the true Trek" or the equivalent is getting the back of my hand, with rings. This crap needs to stop. Some fangirls in our own day came for Wesley, Riker, and Data, and stayed for the warp core and bad time travel. Some of the new fangirls squeeing over Pine and Quinto will do the same.
I will consider "The Trek that is without the Great Bird is not the true Trek" a reasonable statement of opinion that I happen to fundamentally disagree with. But stop hating on the new fangirls anyway, guys. If it gets them to watch TOS or TNG (or any of the others), then it's still serving a good purpose, and I think y'all more or less lost the battle if not the war with DS9.
