If, (and this seems to hinge on this) A-Channel does buck the trend of non-UPN stations and shows the promo for next week (unlike, *cough* City *cough*), our Albertan/Manitoban/Bell Expressvu-blessed forumites will catch a first glimpse of the new Andorians when next week's episode promo runs tonight.

Those of you with the ability to make you television and computer see eye-to-eye might want to consider making a whole pile of new friends and go a-capturing tonight.

If A-Channel needs those thirty seconds of potentially advertising airtime that badly, looks like this thread'll have to wait another twenty-four hours to be useful. C'est la vie.

Tell me, when does A-Channel usually air it's promos? Usually when I watch Trek, they show the promo after the last act, but A-Channel so far hasn't done that...

That's the thing, Christopher... while UPN stations are essentially required to show the promo for next week, off-network airings are free to drop the promo for an extra commercial (why they can't just squash the end credits and play it concurrently I have no idea). It might have something to do with the promo not arriving in time via a satellite feed. If A-Channel doesn't show it, then I guess we're all gonna have to wait until tomorrow night.

Well, *I* get A-channel.. And AFAIK they didn't run Enterprise last night. Instead, we got a crapy rerun of Psi-Factor. And no, AFAIK they didn't spontaneously run it an hour earlier in the Calgary market. Argh!

$$$ Spoilers!

Wow, the make-up for the Andorians isn't too shabby. It looks like the forehead is built up a little more like Westmoore said in an interview. These Andorians are a lighter shade of blue (sky blue I think) and their hair isn't as shaggy as it was in TOS or TNG.

Editted because I seem to be confusing the production team of Star Trek for the American forces command in Vietnam.

So, Paramount is being so un-canon on Enterprise they enlisted America's top ranking General from Vietnam, eh?

Yeah, but luckily it's not a predictable "ridged forehead," it just looks like they've got a slightly differently-shaped skull. Almost not noticeable unless you knew to look for it, in my opinion. I'm just jazzed to see them at all.

The fact that the promo kept mentioning the original series was nice, showing that (at least occasionally) they're actually targeting old-school fans as well as the 18-35 males... being a 21 year old original series fan, I get the best of both worlds.

I started a whole rant about not adding foreheads to TOS aliens just because Westmore has a fetish for forehead oddities (I swear he must get off on it.. i stil lhate what he did to the Romulans)

Looking at the Andorians from ST:TMP, it should be noted they wore an exaggerated brow-forehead piece.. im hoping its similar to that (tell me.. im not watching my tape of the preview until tomorrow)

Not bad at all!

These Andorians seem to be of the same type as the ones in TMP.

They seem to be a bit small, for Andorians..

I have mixed feelings about giving them all that Rutger Hauer blonde look, though. It might be the prevalent hair color for the species, yes, but it's also one place where one could show "racial variety" (I don't really like the idea of seeing distinctly negroid or asiatic Andorians, for example - if there is "racial" variation, it should be of some *alien* type). Three blondes and one with blue hair might have been more interesting... Or is white their equivalent of a crew cut, obligatory for the military and thus favored by paramilitary activists?

Also, if you have blonde hair like that, wouldn't you choose to wear a commando mask over it if you have bothered to don a black commando suit? (then again, commando masks and antennae might pose a problem...)

Those guns look like custom pieces, don't they?
