If roddenberry wrote the pilot, then shame on him. For him to have been a visionary, to make that blunder, he must have lost his vision.
No show is pefect, but, he had plenty of time between the end of TOS and TNG to come up with something better than that awful plot device.
If Brannan and Braga wrote that mess, then shame on them for not reading up on trek history. Maybe they were lazy and took the easy way out.
A nuclear war has been over done in Sci-Fi. What Roddenberry did in TOS with Space Seed was refreshing. I think Enterprise did a good job expounding upon that story, with Brent Spiner playing Dr. Sung's(?) grandfather.
