A l t e r E g o 9 Posted January 22, 2004 I'm surprised your waiting for the actual airing of it. :P It may be an obvious point but earlier today, when I was setting up this episode spotlight I was wondering if the reasons for the start of the rivalry between the Vs and the A's wasn’t because the As are so emotional, like Humans. Old news? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted January 22, 2004 I'm surprised your waiting for the actual airing of it. :lol: It may be an obvious point but earlier today, when I was setting up this episode spotlight I was wondering if the reasons for the start of the rivalry between the Vs and the A's wasn’t because the As are so emotional, like Humans. Old news? I was downloading season 5 of Friends last night and that was taking most of my internet resources. Plus I forgot to look for Enterprise :P It could well be that that is the reason for the disputes between Vulcans and Andorians, of course it could be that Vulcans don't like light blue... :P BTW so far the episode is Awesome!

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted January 22, 2004 It could well be that that is the reason for the disputes between Vulcans and Andorians, of course it could be that Vulcans don't like light blue... :P Or the As don't like green. This episode went very far in giving great info about past A/V relations and laying the groundwork for explaining what went wrong between them. Why do the As call their military the Imperial Guard? Does the answer to that question have anything to do with past sour relations or proximity(?) to the Klingons? Did they successfully resist some past Klingon attempt to occupy their territories? What is the current state of affairs between the As and the Klingons? Just thinking out loud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
