I definitely don't agree with that. I believe that Trek could go on and on, but the problem now is that the writing is stale and hackneyed. The solution to that is to put in people who can tell a...

I don't think it's a matter of testicles. I think it's a matter that Paramount and the producers of Enterprise don't realize what crap they're shovelling out. I think it's more a problem with...

I don't believe Trek needs time off. I believe what the Star Trek franchise needs is people who know how to tell good stories, put those stories into a teleplay, and then get that teleplay onto the...

I've got a quick question in regard to the chain of command on board a Starfleet starship.

Is there a set chain from top down to the bottom (or at least through the senior staff) by department, or...

Sheras, my Andorian security chief of the USS Titan (or the Endurance...I can't remember if we're the USS Endurance, a Titan-class starship or the USS Titan, an Endurance-class starship), is actually...

What kind of low, hateful person would serve anyone (pig or not) flapjacks without AT LEAST butter and syrup?

I want to see the books that haven't been released yet too, and I am frustrated by...

Just finished reading "Lesser Evils" tonight. Very nice. Very nice indeed.

I really really like what they're doing with the DS9 Relaunch. I can't wait until the other books are released, and I...

So far, I think we're doing very well with the roleplaying actually. We just finished a variation on the Slavelords modules, adapted and altered for Forgotten Realms. We're now heading down towards...

Saturday nights alternate between two games. A heavily hack 'n slash, fightfightfight killkillkill Forgotten Realms campaign set in Cormyr that the players are trying to bring more roleplaying into....

In the novels, an Andorian's antennae are also very expressive of his mood.

I haven't noted all the things that they can pick up through the senses they have with the antennae, but it sounds...

Dating doesn't necessarily imply a male-female relationship. Most likely it was, but that still doesn't invalidate the possibility of four genders from the novels.

I'm only partway through the...

That makes sense. And, even though they also tend to invalidate some of the information they've put on the screen in later episodes, it's a safer bet than using the novels.

If I remember correctly, most of the novels with new Andorian information really started coming out after the game had been designed. Also, I don't think all of the information has even been...

I like the four genders. It makes them slightly more alien in my mind, less like blue-skinned humans.

To each his own, I guess.

They may not be (entirely) your thing, but they are mine. :-)
...

No offense taken.

But, is there any on-screen evidence that supports the theory that Andor(ia) is a high-gravity, cold world?

There's no mention of it on startrek.com or in the CD version of...

I definitely agree, Ineti.

Also, I haven't checked through my Star Trek Encyclopedia or recently rewatched any of the episodes that feature (or even contain information about) Andorians...but, I...

Engineering officers (or engineers) are part of the Engineering Division within the Operations Branch. The Security Division is also a member of the Operations Branch.

Quack!

Howdy Howdy...

Has anyone worked up anything for the Andorians in the new series of Star Trek DS9 novels? I really like the social and physiological details that are coming out in each new...

Definitely yes. The more detail I can have about the various species, the happier I am.



I'd love something like this. We see what happens in the Star Trek universe on the screen, but we...

It looks like Andorians are getting a -1 to Agility rather than to Intellect.

And, I don't have any of the books with me, but shouldn't Security officers have Energy Weapons as a Professional...

If there were one, I think my favourite class would the the Toronto-class. Alas, I've never seen one, so I'll just have to go with...um...do I have to pick just one? I like so many for different...

That's very true. Which leads me to believe that if they ever named the third planet of the Sol system after the native sentient species, it wouldn't be Humia. :p

And, thanks for the title...

In a later episode (during Season7) it was referred to as Andoria. I don't remember the name of the episode right off the top of my head, but it was the one where Ezri went "home."

Though, you...

To use the books and other derivative works would be a logistical nightmare. If the producers came out and told their writers to use the various fiction and non-fiction sources as canon, can you...

Ahhhh...I do miss those days back on the Trek mailing list. Those were the days.

Quack!
