[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] That's not quite my favored interpretation. What I'm saying is that I like the idea that the Vulcans know that the Romulans, perhaps not necessarily by that name, left Vulcan traveling in some general direction, perhaps for some specific destination, perhaps not, and that ever since they've either been successfully keeping tabs on them or are just sort of generally aware of where they probably are, and have been planning accordingly. I mean, I'm not insisting that the Vulcans know exactly who the Romulans are prior to "Balance of Terror," though I think that's a neat idea. Moreover, I don't think there's any reason to think that my favored version is more or less likely than any other. The whole Romulan/Human conflict thing is hazy enough to allow for almost any interpretation. I'm just suggesting what I'd like to see. (Having said that, what about the reference from Voyager to a war between Romulus and Vulcan? I got the impression that it wasn't the civil war that led to their split that was being described, but rather that it was implying some sort of interplanetary conflict after that point but presumably prior to Vulcan joining the Federation.) Basically, I like the idea of there being some underlying strategy behind Vulcans taking planets like Earth under their wing, as it were, and I think that it would provide a handy provocation to war, as well as making certain Vulcan actions less sinister (They wanted to hold back human exploration because they didn't want us encountering the Romulans before we were ready.) and others more so. (They were grooming humanity to be their foot soldiers in a potential conflict without letting us know about it.) (Also, perhaps the reason they were so unwilling to send ships into the Delphic Expanse to look for the Xindi is because they felt that was only a feint intended to distract from a Romulan invasion. After all, if the Vulcans were planning on waging their war by proxy, then surely the Romulans would be as well, or so the Vulcans would assume.) But, like I said, this is just what I'd personally like to see. [/QB][/QUOTE]
