Whats the deal with all the Tomed speculation?!
Administer V'lassic is Vulcan. Period.
What [really should be bickered over is how or why he was freely roaming around Vulcan (in such a capacity that he could meet with this Romulan guy) when he was just "dethroned" and accused of destroying the Earth Embassy...or whatever. Should he have not been in jail or something at that point?!

So, the most likely cause of events was that V'Las made himself scarce right after being deposed, counting on his Romulan buddies to take him away and protect him, but the Romulan dude essentially said it would be better for him to 'face the music' as it were and go to prison.

Doesn't matter, my point was that Nimoy has to wear that stuff already, why would he be opposed to the Romulan ridges? Just because it was on his face? Seems like having my ears pulled down all the live-long day would be more irritating than face makeup.

One thing I remembered that I forgot to mention earlier was the effects of the orbital bombardment. (V'Las did say "photonic" weapons, right?) Most of the hits on the ground just resulted in a relatively small explosion, but one completely disintegrated a large rock formation, complete with funky dissolve effect. Could this be used as an example of why photonic (and photon) torpedoes are different than just a warhead that goes boom? From the footage, it seems wipe the area clear without affecting the surrounding area. Compared to this, nuclear weapons may have about the same effect, but are infinitely messier.

I think the big rock formation that fizzled away was just the holographic generator being hit by weapons fire.

I got the impression that technology works, but theproperties of The Forge (high static and EM fields?) make sensors, communications, propulsion, and that sort of stuff almost useless. Didn't they mention the shuttle pod being able to land, but not take off?
A holoprojector might work just fine there or be HEAVILY shielded and the artifact they found obviously had a power source.
