Re: OT: Star Trek Nemesis
However, from what I understand, cloaking was a new technology the Romulans developed when they fought Kirk. Their ships were also sublight vessels at that time as well. For them to keep a Romulan war realistic to Trek history it has to be primarily in space, (as any land battle would show Romulan bodies). Since Romulans were already shown to self destruct instead of surrendering, knowing what they look like will be very difficult. I do hope that they do not get into what DS9 did, and just have a big all consuming war. The war could be just a few episodes long, not a few seasons.
I am also miffed at a lot of what is going on in Enterprise. All of these technologically advanced aliens they are meeting really confuses me. Virtually all of the space that Enterprise is flying through is Federation territory by TOS. However, many aliens they encountered in Enterprise were vastly superior to them. So why would they become members of a federation sponsored by technologically inferior beings? Where did all of these 'new' races go? So far, all that we have seen from any other Star Trek episode are...
1. Humans
2. Vulcans
3. Klingons
4. Andorians
5. Ferrengi (for some reason they decided to introduce the Ferrengi in Enterprise, when they were unknown even when Picard fought them. This makes me feel that the Romulans will be done in a similar way, the crew will know them, but will feel that it is too unimportant to report to Starfleet for some unknown reason).
I may be missing 1 or two, but the vast majority of new life they are meeting is just new and too unbelievably powerful to just dissappear. What's next? The Borg?
