Yet another TOS tie-in, after Axanar, the Andorians and the Malurians. I like it. I hope we will get some clues as to what those Coridanites really look like, or if we'll run into some of the very obscure Federation delegates from "Journey..", like the little copper guys.

Yeah, the copper guys were pretty cool. I especially approve of their jovial attitudes and the way the put colored rocks in their ginger ale

Didn�t we see coridans in the TOS mirror universe story? They looked just like everyday humanoids.

The aliens in "Mirror, Mirror" (selling dilithium) were Halkans.

and the question is "What is an incredibly inaccurate statement about the Halkans?

Being insulting for $400 "What is an incredibly confusing put down by Captain Mike?"
What exactly are you saying is inaccurate? The Halkans in "our" universe were indeed negotiating with the Federation, IIRC. In the Mirror Universe, Kirk was just going to steal it.
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
In both universes the Halkans refused to give the rights to their dilithium, and the certainly wouldn't sell it.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Well, there may have been some negotiating going on, but the Halkans, in both universes, were very reluctant to cooperate with the Federation for fear of their dilithium being used for war.

IIRC, the copper guys weren't even established as the Coridan(i)(ans). Right? Wrong?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Right, it was never established in the episode that the little copper dudes were the Coridians. Still, some people assume that it was them because of various reasons I don't understand.
Posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim (Member # 646) on :
IIRC, it was because during Kirk's voiceover about them, the camera shot focuses on these little guys and follows their activities. And in at least one other shot where people are talking about them, the characters seem to be looking at the little dudes.

Yes, is said "selling"... because that was not the point and I didn't feel like explaining that entire episode... but here I am, doing it anyway...
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
I think the correct term is "Coridanians," because I remember a reference to the treaty in "Sarek," although I'm not sure if they actually named the race or just mention "the Coridan Treaty." Truthfully, though, I personally prefer the Coridani. It just sounds & flows better.

The promo's out... VULCAN SOLDIERS!?
Are those Vulcan soldiers shooting at 'terrorists'? What is it with the Vulcans and the Andorians?
Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
This definitely looks interesting enough.
Is that a Vulcan, an Andorian or a Coridani craft attacking Archer's and T'Pol's shuttle? The plot spoilers would suggest it's not Vulcan, but you never know.
Don't you just love how Andorians never settle for just one gun when they have two good hands to fill?
Fancy VFX on that Vulcan rifle. Have we seen the props before? The Vulcans seem to have rank pins - perhaps we can learn something about the system.
Yessir, another trivia treasure chest coming up. Just keep digging, this beach seems to be full of chests... I *like* "Enterprise".
Now if I could only get to see an actual episode myself...
