It literally looks like it would be a circular floor the circumference of a moon with a bunch of miles-wide windows at about head height.

At least there's a solid chance the Enterprise-J never happened since it was part of a prevented future timeline or whatever. We can toss it in the bin along with the triple-nacelle Enterprise-D.

We never even saw the ship, we saw a wireframe schematic, the renders are just mockups made by the FX team released behind the scenes. If I recall it's literally a saucer pasted on top of a proposed V-shaped ship that Drexler made that was never used onscreen, they threw it together at the spur of the moment to have something on a background screen.

A science vessel falls into a non-space, where the only other worlds/vessels/people are ones who have been "deleted" from continuity. Also, Space Langoliers are hunting them.

Everyone was too distracted by the massive Wave Motion Gun they slapped on the front to notice the cloaking device.

I remember the Earth-Romulan war being a just savagely barbaric one so I was gonna say that maybe they were desperate, but I looked it up and apparently a pivotal back-breaking naval victory brought the Romulans to the table* so Earth would have been negotiating from a position of strength, and there doesn't seem to be much else given up by the Romulans that wasn't mutually conceded (cessation of hostilities, neutral zone established). So yeah, they didn't Art of the Deal that one too good. *subspace radio meeting, no one knows what a Romulan looks like until the 23rd century

Actually, that is sort of hilarious. Vulcans have a secret offshoot; the Romulans. Then, the Romulans have a secret offshoot: The Remans. What do Remans have? Is there an indigenous subreman race they keep hush?

I woulda played hardball with those perfidious knife-eared fucks. "Okay if we're giving up cloaking it's only fair you give up a starship tech." "We're listening." "No more warp drive for you." "That's--" "Hey you don't like it I got some pipe-hitting Telarites ready to steamroll what's left of your fleet and glass Romulus."

I thought the Remans were a distinct species that just happened to live there when the Romulans arrived thousands of years ago after they hosed off from Vulcan, and the Romulans just enslaved them.

One would think, since they're like loving scaly and Romulans aren't at all, but memory alpha just calls them a slave caste.

Honestly the Vulcans having so many offshoots is kind of weird? No other race in ST is like that, maybe the Vulcans genes are just really mutable idk adaz fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jan 29, 2020 |

They could bring back Ray Wise So the Vulcans have been warp capable for how many hundreds/thousands of years? Klingons too and presumably most everyone in the galaxy. So why are Humans the A number one species in the Federation
