Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars?

Posted by michael on from the it's-all-downhill-from-here dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that the next Star Trek movie will deal with the war between Earth and the Romulans that led to the founding of the Federation. According to Rick Berman, the film will be 'set before the time of Kirk, but will not be connected with Enterprise.' So how will they make this fit with the Classic Trek episode Balance of Terror, in which we learned that no human ever saw the face of a Romulan during the Romulan Wars?"

    Actually, the War was supposedly fought entirely in space. The treaty was handled over audio COMMs only, so the Federation never managed to find out what the Romulans looked like.

    Of course, they could just do like Space: Above and Beyond and goo the bad guys every time someone tries to peek inside their suit.

    XI - that would make it another odd numbered star trek movie. I hold no hope for it....
