While the Romulans did colonize Romulus and Remus (as they are Vulcans that rejected the teachings of Surak), no information has ever been revealed before about Remus. The planet itself was barely mentioned. So explain to me if it was not mentioned how it could be a piece of Star Trek lore? No response? Exactly, there can be no response to that. Just because you assumed that there were never any prior inhabitants of Remus doesn't make it so. I also miss how the Prime Directive was thrown out the window. Firstly, it doesn't apply to the Romulans anyway as the Prime Directive is primarily to protect pre-warp civilizations. Secondly, the Enterprise was asked to come by the Romulans. Thirdly, they had to do something as the Remans were going to wipe out all life on an entire planet (Earth). Aren't any Prime Directive violations here. NZ, I agree. 3765@blogcritics.org Sat, 22 Feb 2003 23:22:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/12/17/115618.php#comment-3709 All in all Nemesis was a good sci-fi movie. It you really are a star trek fan you would reallize that this movie was a so-so star trek movie. First and formost the Prime Directive ( the most sacred pf laws in Starfleet) was thrown out the window when the past two movies showed examples of the directive being fulfilled. Second the romulans colonized romulas and remus. Remus is not inhabited by and alein species, the Remans. These two things are the key part of Star trek lore and fans shoyuld have picked up on it. Star trek is losing its roots and is becoming a series of action films with no meaning. Thank you for reading this. 3709@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Feb 2003 10:42:21 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/12/17/115618.php#comment-2523 NZ, Very pleased to hear it sucketh not - there is altogether too much sucking in the world as it is. 2523@blogcritics.org Tue, 17 Dec 2002 14:18:52 EST
