[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] It could also be that the Romulan war was triggered by the Earthlings stumbling directly into the Romulan home system. Their last report would have been of the nature "We've established standard orbit over these twin worlds, and despite lack of contact, I'm now beaming down with all my top officers, my leggy yeowoman and my pet parakeet. I expect this to be another risk-free mission, so instead of body armor, I'll wear a casual red shirt." In any case, the expression "twin homeworlds" used in "BoT" can be interpreted in several ways, and "Nemesis" rules out at least some of those. The homeworlds could be environmentally identical like "twins" - but we'll see they aren't. They could have similar orbital parameters - but they don't. So why are they "twins"? It seems the old fan interpretation, that the planets co-orbit, might be true after all. That would best justify "twin" over mere "two" in Spock's statement. And the idea that both are "homeworlds" for the Romulans does suggest that Remans are of the same stock as Romulans (or at least that this was believed by Spock et al. in the 2260s), and not a separate native, enslaved species. Also, I wonder how the final expository dialogue in "Nemesis" will read. Will one of the heroes (guess who?) be a complete cabbagehead who doesn't know who the Remans are, so that Riker has to explain it to her? Or will it be made to sound more as if everybody but the audience already knows who the Remans are? If the former, then we could assume that even Riker only found out barely a few years prior. If the latter, then we might say that even Kirk could have known of the existence of Remans, even if he was fuzzy on the details and ignorant of their actual looks... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
