Yes, it's not gunfights. There's something lost in disintegrating someone, compared to an ol' .44.
Kinda like hanging up the phone for dramatic effect in the old days. You could slam the reciever on the cradle for anger, now you can only push a button, smaller than your pinky-toe nail.

Well, I can't see ANYone in the Alpha Quadrant teaming up with the Breen... ever again... they have just shown to be the WORST! Worse than even the Romulans... no offence to any Romulans present...

I should point out that if there are any Romulans present, I shall be forced to take them outside and slap them silly, until they take off the fake ears, and go and get a proper job. Not one in a comic shop.

I've read where Ron Moore has basically hinted that the Romulans are to appear in Trek 10. Now weither that be true or not, time will tell.
But why not? Klingon's and Borg have hogged up the big screen for the biggest majority of the Trek films. It's time to drag the Romulans out of the proverbial closet, dress em' up and finally GIVE them their moment of fame. :-)

Seeing as how Ron Moore is going to have about as much input into the next Trek film as Bugsy Malone, I'm not quite sure what to make of that.

Yeah...
Anyway, if ST:X is going to be about Romulans, I envision this:
After the Dominion wars, the pact between the Feds, Klingons and Romulans is maintained. The Rommies, however, are not so happy to be partners with the Klingons, and vice versa. They start fighting, the Feds intervene, and we get 90 minutes of pure space action. Rommies abusing the Neutral Zone (which has been cancelled for some reason, during the alliance) to kick the Feds' butts, the Breen and the Cardies join the fight, and we get a complete Alpha Quadrant war. In the (happy) end, everyone's friends again, the Rommies and the Vulcans are re-unified, the Klingons, the Cardies and the Rommies join the Federation...

I don't see how the Cardies could fight ...
Seeing as Cardassia is more than likely occupied and their military equipment is under Alliance custody ...
Yeah, if it happened that way, I would *never* go to a Trek film or watch an episode of Trek ever again ... that would be the .40 to the brain of the Star Trek franchise ...

Maybe Trek 10 will be a spy thriller ala "The Hunt for Red October". Only with Romulans and a brand new, bad-ass Romulan warship.

Now, you get people who say this, but then you also get people who say: "Yeah, Voyager's crap, but it's Trek, so I'll watch it anyway."
Or, as a variation: "Voyager's crap, so I'll NEVER EVER WATCH STAR TREK AGAIN!"
Jeez, what's wrong with judging every film and TV series on it's own merit. I read Peter Parker. Doesn't mean I'm gonna rush out and buy "Amazing Spider-Man", just because it's part of the same "franchise".
I've just realised that the above comments make me look like some saddo who reads comic books. But I'm not a pathetic loser who reads comics cause he has no friends. No, I read them because all the girls in them have really big tits.
