Well…some of it I know but it’s easier to cut and paste. :slight_smile:

#23

Oh no sir! They split from a common ancestor

#24

Duckies, bunnies, what’s the difference? :rolleyes:

You really need to catch up on Next Gen. There’s plenty of awesome to be had.

#25

in Balance of Terror, Spock speculates that the two races share similar roots

#26

Ah, that answers my above question.

Great episode “In your own way you are as stubborn as another captain of the Enterprise I once knew.” Awesome.

#27

If I recall, long ago were the same, split, with Vulcans going the logic route and Romulans going the interstellar asshole route.

#28

“I am going to penetrate the…”

This whole scene has IYKWIM written all over it.

#29

be forewarned there is also some terribleness (esp. early on) but the Awesome outweighs the bad by faaaar

wait…what?

#35

Of course, there’s plenty of terribleness in TOS, as well.

#36

That’s how I got mine.

Brain! Brain! What is brain?!

Star Trek EU (not canon) says that the followers of S’Harien left Vulcan because of differences with the followers of Surak. But they had less the warp-speed ships so, because of relativity less time had passed from the perspective of the travellers— So when they arrived at and settled on Romulus they were litterally less evolved than their Vulcan cousins.
