Yeah, but I think the stakes should have been higher. They're exploring unknown space and meeting hostile aliens. Even if some of those aliens became friends later, they could have started as hostile and worked towards being allies, like they did with the Andorians later in the series. The idea that they could be in totally unknown space and exploring strange new worlds and no one ever dies? Seems a little hard to buy to me.
I mean their backyard is also pretty much the vulcans backyard. For the most part they're exploring places the vulcans have been, or have been near. Iirc only a few places they go were totally unknown in the vulcan database.
