So...Romulans Appear...

Hey there,

 

So the Romulans appear on Enterprise....interesting. Anyone else expecting to actually see the mentioned "Earth / Romulan War" Kirk talked about in Balance of Terror?

Absolutely! I 100% believe that the Romulans will be a mystery to the ENT crew untill the Suliban are delt w/. Once the Suliban are out of the picture, I predict that the writers will bring a new enemy in for the ENT crew, the Romulans! Makes perfect sence.

 

Every series needs an enemy. TOS had Klingons, TNG had Romulans and Borg, DS9 had the Dominion, and VOY had Kazon, Borg, and 8472. ENT has Suliban so far, but they need a bigger enemy that can tie them into the other series, which the Romulans do perfectly.

 

The quetsion is, with the NX-01 being so inadvanced in comparison w/the other races, how will they ever survive a Romulan attack on them? I mean, I watched the episode w/the Romulan mine field, and the first thing that came to my mind was "transporter". I mean, they didn't even TRY it! At least they could have tried and said "Sorry, the radiation coming from the mine is disrupting the signal. I'm not willing to risk it." But not ONE CREWMEMBER even SUGGESTED the transporter! I mean literlay, the WHOLE episode I was thinking transporter.

 

My concern is if the ENT crew can't use their own technology when its required, then how will they survive?

Hey there,

 

They won't survive...that's the entire point!  :)

So did they survive? :(

They had one encounter with one Romulan ship...as far as I remember anyway.

 

And they survived.

Holy crow, this topic is old!

 

This topic appears to have originated around the airing of the second season episode "Minefield" where the crew of the NX-01 encountered the Romulans in a minefield. The encountered the Romulans again in the "Babel One/United/The Aenar" Romulan arc when the Romulans used the two holoships to instigate war. Romulans also played an indirect role in Vulcan society with the former leader of the former High Command collaborating with the Romulans.
