I wanted to write something nonspecific to link with and had a mild attack of Teutonicism. Anyway, this is, like, the best news in some time. Even Moore never got around to getting the Tholians back.

At least this should FINALLY dispell that awful misconception that "The Tholian Web" was the first contact with this race.

well any readers of Star Trek: The Early Voyages know that conflict with the Tholians was a longstanding issue.. especially when the Tholians started using the Chakuun as shocktroops

Well, I'm both eagerly awaiting and totally dreading this encounter. First off, I think that the portrayal of the Andorians in "Enterprise" is one of the few things that I unconditionally like about the show. I'm hoping that they might succeed with the Tholians as well.

But I'm dreading this because the Tholians are literally the most mysterious menace in the Trek universe, because they've only been seen once yet hinted at so many times. I'm afraid that anything we see will simply not live up to our hopes and expectations.

Still, this story sounds intriguing...

They seem to avoid saying whether or not the Tholians are actually visible in the episode. I sure hope they don't do that "big floating diamond" portrayal I've seen...

Since there's neither a mention of any extensive CG work involving actors, nor a credit for "Commander Loskene Sr.," my bet would be that none appear in person. Which sort of makes sense, considering their environment, though we did hear about the Tholian ambassador to the UFP visiting DS9 a few times, as I recall. Special encounter suits! Tholians! Wedge ships! Trans-temp

Oh, of course we wouldn't want that! We wouldn't want "Star Trek" to turn into a show about peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding, would we?

[Roll Eyes]

It's occurred to me that perhaps the reason there are no Tholian actors credited is because they'll be CGI characters? Probably on the viewscreen, but still CGI. I just hope that we're not given a lame jag-off excuse like what we're being given for the Romulans, as in "Minefield."
