For no any good reason except to please TV audience, ships always transmit captain's videos. If Romulans will sensibly refuse to follow ST broadcasting standards, the long and bloody war when no one ever saw the face of the enemy is more than possible, I would even say likely. BTW, we have problems with Pal, Secam and NTSC Tv encoding back here at home, but when two aliens meet, they all Subscribe to the same video standard ! Of course, TV viewers can still enjoy close-ups of hot romulans denied to Captain Archer

Here's how I seem the doing the romulans. You know how the vulcans are all a bunch of jerks on Enterprise and the andorians are fighting the vulcans. Suppose the romulans subverted vulcan and the war was trying to drive the romulans off vulcan - but no one knew the romulans were on vulcan.

??????? I'm a little confused by that Hadrian. Could you please explain that again. Are you saying that ST:Enterprise should make it where the Romulans occupy or influence Vulcan doctrine? Is that what you mean?

Oh, and one other thing. What ever they do on ST:Enterprise, I sure hope they are very careful with this time thing. On that Last episode of Enterprise, they keep messing with this time stuff and that race that somehow everybody knows but no one likes, yet is never mentioned in the future (you know, the guys that can manipulate their bodies by their genetics). I'm really worried Enterprise is messing with the time stuff a little too much. The only episode I have ever saw that dealt with Time stuff well was a couple of TOS episodes and the TNG episode "yesterdays Enterprise" (My personal favorite).

I don't mind ST:Enterprise using time in their story plots, but they need to be very careful because since they use so many different writers to make their stories, inconsistancies seem to occure easily.

But at least it is good to hear that they do want to introduce the Romulans.

Lemme clear up my hopes for the romulan war.

It always ran on my mind that the only way the war could have been that serious and have the romulans remain unknown was to use the vulcans.

The Vulcans and Andorians have this cold war thing going on, maybe fore a good reason. Perhaps the Romulans are secretly manipulating the Vulcans to expand thier empire. Weaken thy enemy before weaken thyself.

Soval always struck me as being on the emotional side.

A good possibility. I agree, their have been a few Vulcans that could be Romulans. Why couldn't they infiltrate Vulcan. I guess we will have to wait and see if Paramount will add the Romulan War or not.

the good thing is that they arranged Enterprise to end it's run just before the formation of the Federation.

Perhaps the Romulan war never happened, but was made up to cover up the Temporal Cold War.
