You guys are starting to sound like the prequel apologist crowd coming up with your own head canon (ring theory) justifications for awful decisions.
How does adding a Questarian spin on the (supposedly in-universe) production of the Trek franchise apologisticly justify bad decisions?

We’re not trying to justify writing here, we’re justifying why some ships are different colors.
Or why the Trill have spots and not forehead ridges. Or why the Cardassians don’t have headgear or silly beards. Or why specific recurring Klingon characters like Kor, Kang and Koloth have forehead ridges in DS9 but not in TOS.
I don’t see Trill having spots as a bad decision. It just doesn’t make sense on its face. There is nothing wrong with finding a reasonable in-universe explanation to increase enjoyment of ones favorite fiction. If people want to like the Prequels, I say let them. Because otherwise, I wouldn’t go to the trouble of finding a decent Prequel edit.
