You know, the proposed civil war on Vulcan would be a great time to introduce the Romulans. Kind of a fill the void kind of thing, pulling us into the conflict somehow.
You can’t introduce the Romulans until the TOS episode Balance of Terror.
They hadn’t been seen by Terrans.
Actually, BOT established the much earlier introduction, the Romulan War. Of course, they must remain unseen, but killing humans was a pretty noticable introduction. 
Agreed. I took “introduce” to be as visible characters with pointy ears or helmets if you can’t afford that much latex.
^:dubious:^
I was going to say they’d need some way of explaining why we never see their faces, but I assumed it was unneccesary in this thread.
If they are going to be a part of the Vulcan Civil War, they could be shown as much as they wanted to show them… after all, no one’s going to know the difference between the two species.
Agreed.
Sadly, the move to Friday night will hinder my participation, since on Friday nights our socializing usually involves going out with friends. I doubt my wife will be too pleased if I start skipping that to hang out with online friends.
Spock indicates they split of very long ago. “If, as I suspect they are realted to Vulcans” (not an exact quote).
He also says they were never seen during the War. Not their damn ears were never seen, they were never seen.
That aside, this series should cover the war with the Romulans.
BTW, does the reference in BOT say the war was with the Federation or Earth?
I’m not sure if it’s cannon (of course, what is?) but in one of the books, it said that the Romulans left Vulcan 1,000 years before the Next Generation era. The left when the whole logic idea started sweeping the planet.
I’m pretty sure that was in the last movie too, Odin. You know… Nemesis.
I would have to watch it again to be sure, though. :::shudder:::
TiVo baby! No time like the present. 
Trust me. After a month you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
Can you catch the repeat, or tape it, on Saturday or Sunday night? It’s okay with us if you’re late.
All of that time that I was working nights, that’s what I did. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to watch it, the bulk of the discussion was usually over and my contribution was often limited to the occasional parody, limerick, or bad joke. I had hoped, since I’m no longer working nights, that I would have been able to show up before the party was over and the dishes were being done (so to speak).
But it’s kind of you to want to include me anyway. I’ll try not to disturb too many people as I tiptoe in.
It’s the Earth/Romulan Wars and I doubt very seriously that only after a thousand years, the Romulans would have evolved enough to be distinguishable from their Vulcan counterparts. Even after three millennia, the Japanese and Chinese still look pretty similar.
They could easily interfere with no one being the wiser.
And Linus, have you forgotten that I’ve been posting to the threads without seeing the episode until at least a week later for a year now? Like you actually have to see the episodes to post to the threads.
And I always knew you loved me as evidenced by your tacit agreement to Cervaise’s comment that I’m part of the reason he’ll be coming back. 
Hell, I have yet to even see one episode of Enterprise, and yet I still post!
Yeti Yeti Yeti Yeti Yeti…

Are Yeti purple?

Pray give us an example, Oh You Who Would Defile Canon.

Saavik was half-Romulan.
There was that kid in TNG’s Drumhead who lied about his Rommie heritage. Grandfather, I believe.
OK, how would Romulans “interfer” and be thought to be Vulcans?
Without knowing what interfer means, I couldn’t tell you how they could do it.
