Iguana-y ST names... hmmm, did Spot not become an iguana or something in the TNG episode, I think it was called Genesis? Perhaps you could also name one Xindi, after the Xindi reptilians. Spot and Xindi? Okay, I am weird...

QSMB: I have no problem with jokes, except of course, in T'Son's case (hint, hint, T'Son!) where he goes overboard.

Welfconfed and Beam Me Up: What you said about Nemesis is interesting. I never thought about that, though I did think that had she seized control and carried everything out herself, it would have gone a lot smoother and the Romulans would actually have ended the dominant power. I sincerely hope, though, that the RSE and the UFP do not end up actually making peace. I rather like having them as enemies. Also, if the RSE and the UFP allied, then the RSE and the Klingons got into a war, where would the UFP go? Who would they help. After all, I think it highlyh unlikely that the RSE and the Klingons would also become friends. So, the Romulans may not be completely hostile but an alliance would completely ruin them.

Why the heck not!? I may be American, but I have often thought about moving the France or some other French-speaking European country. I love Europe!

Never used one. however, I have made headcalls to a local tree while camping.

Ditto. <_<

I like it coming from the top. It irks me so much if anyone has it coming from the bottom. I am weird like that! It also irks me if someone leaves the toilet seat up. Oh, and one more weird thing I cannot resist adding- since French was my first language, I always toilet like "twoilet." I cannot help it!

I wear soft contacts. They are also color contacts, so if anyone meets me in person, I am the teenaged girl with purple eyes. It is so much fun! <_<

Might try one sometime, though never been on one...

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. It is a weird time, but the good news is: school is almost out! I will be posting a lot less in the next two weeks, then a lot more because it will be just me and the laptop all day. <_< Meanwhile, I am so happy to see so many Romulan supporters here. I love you guys! :wub: I look back at the first page and it is almost all discussion between Welfconfed and me and here, look at everyone!

Personally, I like the warbirds in TNG best. They seemed so... regal.

Also, I agree with QSMB's cliche. Here is a quote from one of my earlier posts:

I do not understand why you would call a race as a whole stupid, aggressive, ugly, violent, unreliable, and disgusting. Surely even some humans, Vulcans, Klingons, even Romulans are like that... but far from all of them! I am with Welfconfed- where are specific examples where the whole race is like this?

The Wrath of Khan. I have always liked TOS best, and I died with Spock at the end. No question for me.

The Undiscovered Country, any day. Hello, it has me in it! :unsure:

I like the TOS ones best, followed by the MOV II-VI ones.

I am so an alien. I believe that my essence was switched with the human whose body I now inhabit's essence and that I simply need to get back. It is the only explaination for, well, me. :unsure: Yes, I do believe.

Valeris! I'm so pleased that you have returned, defending the Empire alone is a daunting task. I trust your journey was a pleasant one.

I envy you your opportunity to visit Washington, and, this summer, France.

I would absolutely love to be able to take the time to travel in person to the Smithsonian and to the nearby National Archives, not to mention the vast repositories of information available in europe.

While these days alot of data is online, there is nothing like seeing, and on some rare occasions, touching the original documents.

Currently it appears it will be December, at the earliest, before I will even be able to return to North Carolina, and then only for a couple of weeks.

 

 

The only deliberate Romulan breech of a treaty that I recall was in the incursion in 2266. (113 years before the 'present' of Star Trek: Nemesis, 2379) That is the equivalent of the U.S. condemning a nation for something done in 1891! :P

Don't tell me you have a 'Romulan-basher' (TSon) in your midst. :)

Well, I trust that you we be able to 'educate'  :( him. :)

 

QSMB...not only do they make excellent ale, but like the Vulcans, they make pretty good soup. "Soup is good food". B) ...and no one that makes good soup could be evil.  :unsure:

You come here just in time for my birthday! Of course, I will be in Kansas by then, but what can I do? I did go to the Simthsonian and though we tried to go to the National Archives, most of the class did not want to for some reason. I hate my class. My journey was alright, aside from the fact that I had seen most it from an RV tour of New England a few years ago and my classmates were really, really annoying.

We do seem to be the only major RSE supporters... wonder where Tal Shiar 8472 is... I certainly hope you were not alone when I was gone.

I think that I will give T'Son a link to these pages so he can see our arguements. Then maybe he will not be able to insult me so much! Knowing T'Son though, it might take a long time... However, you do have some excellent arguements. Who says Romulans cannot be logical!?

ILIKESEVEN, I do not understand why you would call a race as a whole stupid, aggressive, ugly, violent, unreliable, and disgusting. Surely even some humans, Vulcans, Klingons, even Romulans are like that... but far from all of them! I am with Welfconfed- where are specific examples where the whole race is like this? And also, did you know about the spell check button?

I did not realize that "Dark Victory" was part of a trilogy. Thank you.

Actually, the bus trip was not my move to Kansas, but a trip to DC. I will not be moving until later this summer, in either July or August. Of course, I will be in France at that time so I will not really be moving with the rest of the family...

The Romulans, though, had good reason to be hostle to the UFP representatives. They do not have a good history of contact with other species, and even their own race treated them very porrly. Naturally, the hostilities would continue. I admire all those UFP breaches of RSE/UFP treaties you brought up, Welfconfed. I shall have to show that list around whenever anyone ::coughTSoncough:: says that the Romulans are the ones who always break the treaties.

And, QSMB, they are definitely not all evil. Only a few, just like on Earth, or Vulcan, or Kronos, or anywhere else.

I am very evil. I know where you sleep and I have my disruptors pointed directly at YOU! Ask anyone I know. I will use evilness to first conquer Earth, then the rest of the UFP, then the Klingon Empire, then I have no idea what. This will all go to the purpose of glorifying the Romulan Star Empire!

No, I do not. I generally spend all my time on the phone anyway so it would distract me.

You should have moved to the Western side of North Carolina. I like here. Mountains, trees... *sigh* Welcome back.

No, sorry.

I would like to say, however, that I believe your opinion would be quite different had the producers of voyager decided to glue Romulan ears onto Jeri Ryan instead of borg implants.

:unsure:

Humans. They confuse me. If they opened their minds instead of thinking with their phasers, they might see that Romulans are not the blame for every bad thing that happens in the galaxy. The Romulans were right not to trust them when they first met. They do not mind breaking treaties either.

By the way, I bought "Dark Victory" by William Shatner. It is a books about the mirror universe; I will likely read it on the nine hour bus ride tomorrow.

I enjoy hearing about the Mirror Universe, though I have only been able to see one episode with it... so far. However, I was immediately fascinated by it and I cannot wait until more episodes come on. I rather liked the idea of an Imperial UFP. 

Which one did you watch? The first was TOS "mirror,mirror", then DSN had about a half dozen 'mirror' episodes.

I would also recommend the novels "dark mirror",and the two part series "dark passions".

Since I had not been able to watch DS9 before it came on Spike, the first Mirror Universe episode and still the only one is Mirror, Mirror. Around what season do those episodes start, to those of you who have watched it more than I have. Also, I will definitely try those books... Amazon will most likely have them...

Fascinating. I have lived in Western North Carolina all my life... but most of my ancestors came to America in only the past few decades. I might be moving to Kansas anyway. But on to the real topic.

I never thought about your points like that though. After all, the "colonies" have not been "colonies" for three centuries, but we are still the same race as England and we still know why we separated. Yet the Romulans and Vulcans separated so many millennia ago, people are not always even sure if they are the same race. And this question of reunification would make an alliance with the UFP, as seems to be the general direction at the end of Nemesis, all the more complex. I somehow doubt they would reunify, at least not for another few centuries (at least!). But to have Vulcans and Romulans working together, and knowing that at the same time, they are something completely the same and completely alien to the other. No, even if treaties were signed, it would likely never work out. And as one side or the other always seems to want to do something, like steal technology or destroy outposts, they would never even be able to maintain peace. While the governments talk peacefully on screen, when they cut communications, they turn around and order warbirds and starships on covert missions the other other side of the Neutral Zone.

Interesting. The idea that Romulans believe Vulcan belongs to them... but it is true, is it not. They have just as much right to it as Vulcans. Personally, I would prefer the more temperate world of Romulus, but they certainly deserve both. Of course, that might mean that the Vulcans also have claim to both... oh, this does get confusing! This inevitably leads to the issue of reunification. Is it not strange that they always talk about Romulans who want to "return to the Vulcan way of life" but there are never Vulcans who want to change to the Romulan way of life. Also, they always say "return" when talking about Romulan to Vulcan but "change" when talking about Vulcan to Romulan?
