I was always curious about the Romulans in regards to their motives and beliefs. There is a lot of lore surrounding them but almost nothing is really known. They don't seem to be concerned with others posing a threat to them although the mention of Garak caused a nervous twitch from a Tal-Shiar Sub-Commander Just how powerful are the Romulans really?
It always seemed they were all show but no performance; that while their ships TNG era had powerful weapons and strongly shielded they had no speed and were relatively fragile. Almost like they were compensating for something.
They also felt rather mysterious without actually being rather too edgy which really is rare to do all things considered.

just think of all the cool shit you could do without the limitations of actors. all the aliens, ship battles and new planets. 50 episodes per season. it would be a cornucopia of good scifi

They use a captured black hole as a power source, that's why their ships lack agility, they're way more massive. They don't have a warp core, or a dilithium power source, which means their ships are essentially powered and useful forever. A side effect of this is that they have a fucktonne of old ships in service that haven't been upgraded for thousands of years, so in some senses they're behind the other species in fielded technology, but the technology they have archived and ready to use is far ahead of even the federation. In their older ships in service, their shielding are equivalent to the federation and weapons slightly inferior, but in their most modern ships (which they rarely bother to build) it's far superior. They prefer to use subterfuge than direct attack, because subterfuge is thousands of times cheaper and more efficient, and the Romulan empire is all about efficiency.

as long as the writers know they are using anime as a medium to give star trek to viewers they will be no problems, no harems, no oversized tits, no tsunderes, just normal star trek but free from material limitations!

if anything, a forced singularity may be safer than a warp core. After all, everyone knows how dangerous black holes are so there's going to be failsafes on top of failsafes, a breach in the chamber would likely result in the singularity collapsing rather than going out of control.
if it didn't, there'd be a shitload of mini black holes all over the place for every time a romulan ship blew up

We'll, I've lost all interest. Honestly, I see super flat chicks in anime more than I see nice juicy knockers. Big tits are easier to draw, and is considered laziness by many animators.

This. Visual media has been trending downhill since the early impressionist painters. There have been a few bumps back up, but Jewish degeneracy has drug it down pretty far.

>Are impressionists Jews?
no they were mostly western europeans when the movement began. the thing is, the impressionists didnt abandon all technique, and sense of aesthetic. they merely adjusted it. with the introduction of cameras, less focus began to be placed on making things photo-realistic, and more effort was focused around expression in an image with various techniques (something the art world had been inching towards for centuries, after the enlightenment era masters had already perfected perspective). however, most of these departures were not too radical, and are still recognizable (stark contrast to postmodernists). a way i like to differentiate the two is that impressionists took a detour from the regularly accepted method, while the more abstract artists like pollack completely abandoned it.
the thing is that impressionism DID eventually lead the way to more abstract styles (as people became more fascinated w expression via art). but unlike postmodernism, it was an organic movement that arose out of relative stagnation in the art world (in terms of actual advancement of style/technique/expression) for a while. im sure many of you are familiar w the funded, manufactured psyop that was postmodernism, so i wont bother to elaborate.
but impressionism eventually led to the surrealists as well as the futurists. both were (imo) very interesting periods for art. but with the shift in artistic focus away from technique somewhat, and more towards expression, politics ended up getting involved (not to mention it was the turn of the century leading into WWI). for the most part, the surrealists were hardline socialists, and futurists were hardline fascists. apparantly dali was kicked out of the surrealist movement by the commiefags for being close friends with francisco franco. pretty funny.
sad part is (as i much prefer futurism) most of the futurists died in WWI as they, with their staunch nationalism, jumped to the front of the line when it was time to enlist. so that whole movement kind of came to an end by default
polite sage for off topic rant
TL;DR
no they were not jews. some rich jews mightve bought some of their stuff, but it was an organic movement

because physical swoleness inevitably leads to operational gains in anons brainframe, a consequence of which is cognitive and emotional swoleness. So, three out of four swole quadrants are covered by diet and lifting, faggot.

(cont.) it is also why the Yosemite sequence in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is quite possibly and unironically the most pivotal and consequential sequence ever filmed in canon Star Trek to date. Anon could compose an entire doctoral thesis on its significance - and although this not the Mountain thread - but basically it encapsulates all four quadrants of swole with Kirk deriving physical and mental gains and emotional capacity through hugging El Capitan, but only because of his refusal to solo death that comes from the emotional ease and openness that physical gains facilitate. This leads to his eager embrace of food, drink, and song with his bros in a ritualized setting that is the key to unlocking the fourth quadrant: spiritual swoleness.
Literally, the most swole thing imaginable would be a rock-climbing gym in a right-wing, white ethno-chauvinist, utopian-futurist church.

Replying to a two-year old post, but I remember reading somewhere the Earth-Romulan war was mostly fought remotely with very long-range weapons. Battles would occur with neither side actually seeing the other. I would have really liked to see how ENT would have handled it.
I also like that idea that TOS ships are analog because Romulans would hack wireless.
