[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Maybe it's because it came mostly out of the blue, but I was more impressed by this Tholian menace than the way the Romulans were introduced a few months ago. Maybe that's because the Romulans just flew around and talked tough while the Tholians disabled a Vulcan combat cruiser and blew up a full-fledged fleet of Suliban cell ships? :eek: Obviously the effects have been updated, but IMO those Tholian ships are the exact same type as the ones we saw in "The Tholian Web." The only potential variations would be something akin to the D7/K't'inga modifications between TOS and TMP. (Aside: I'm pretty sure that I saw an Exocomp from "The Quality of Life" in the hangar bay during the teaser -- it was behind Archer when he was opening up the Mystery Ship's hatch, back against the wall.) Tholians are almost certainly nonhumanoid at this point -- I got the impression that their language sounded insectoid with all the clicking and squeaking over the comm, not to mention the fact that an ambient temperature of 200 degrees (Celsius, presumably) would explain the colorful background when Commander Loskene appeared on the viewscreen in TOS. That futuristic Vulcan combat cruiser... dare I suggest that the presence of three (broken?) ring-nacelles on that Vulcan ship might support the existence and/or viability of other three-nacelled starships later on in the Federation Starfleet? (Another Aside: The ship from B5 is almost definitely the [i]Hyperion[/i]-class because it's referred as such in one of the [URL=http://warlock.isnnews.net/resources/sizecharts/Chart3.jpg]official size charts[/URL] for internal production use released by Tim Earls.)
