The Federation is about to encounter its greatest challenge – The Romulans want peace. Conceived in the regal Senate halls of Romulus and forged in the dilithium mines of Remus, comes a nemesis bent on destroying Picard… and the entire Federation.

Ordered by Starfleet to be the first line of diplomacy in ushering in a new era for the Federation, the crew of the USS Enterprise-E is dispatched to Romulus for an unexpected peace mission. Once in the shadow of the Romulan Empire, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise crew are thrust into the center of a plot that couldlead to the destruction of Earth at the hands of a new and chilling nemesis.

[Cincinatus]

Referring to Saddam as a Romulan, in my opinion, gives him way too much credit.

Agreed. How about comparing him to a Deneebian Slime Devil?

[strela]

How about comparing him to a Deneebian Slime Devil?

I didn't say Saddam should be hauling garbage, I said he should be hauled away ... as garbage.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Ya got me there! LOL

But then again, Landru didn't have a planet full of California Beach Bunnies either...

[Richard Kimball]

Have you ever kissed a girl?"

That's funny. People have been asking the same thing about William Shatner.

[Centurion2000]

In the modern-day soap opera of Star Trek, the Romulans are cousins of the race of creatures known as Vulcans.

Romulans = Arabs and the Vulcans = Jews ?

After all the Vulcans only had one planet in the Federation (Israel) and the Romulans built an Empire (the Arab League) ......

life imitates are bump.

[A2J]

While I have not seen the movie yet, your post has me thinking about the possible parallels with the Iraqi situation.

Could it be that Bush (Picard) in attempting to reach out to the Arab countries (Romulans), long-time, misunderstood enemies, in an apparent gesture of peace, is encountered by an evil Saddam (Picard's clone) who is bent on destroying his alter ego?

Or maybe not.

Star Trek has consistently taken on real-life issues in their various series, most with a liberal slant. This may be another of those slants that may paint the U.S. (The Federation) as having the same intent (war) as Saddam.

[KellyAdmirer]

I wish Saddam would go hop a ride on a spaceship and vent his wrath on the 23rd century and leave us alone.

[Landru]

"But then again, Landru didn't have a planet full of California Beach Bunnies either..."

HA!!
It's not as-if I didn't think the very same thing myself, now.
But just LOOK at how Vol taught all the male pansies to deal with their companions!!
~eh??
Those clowns were out picking fruit for that loudmouth while the cheesecake went for want.

Now understand Landru wouldn't have -- nor does he now -- ever made such an absurd *order* like the (apparently) asexual lizard breathed Vol schemed up.

In fact?
As you reacll, back on Beta III Landru made rather nice accomadations for just such targets of opportunity.
Don't forget about, "Red-Hour"!!

So even though Landru vacations these days right here on Earth?
Nothing much really changes, y'know.
Why here on earth I call this very special period of social-interaction & venting, "Grabbass Time."

...& you can just go ahead and ask Mrs. Landru 'bout that, too. :o)

[Dutchgirl]

Then he would probably be a Vogon, described in "The Hitch Hiler's Guide to the Galaxy" as having an interest in sadisticly awful poetry. I haven't been able to read the poems in Arabic on the walls of his palace, but I wonder if any of them are entitled:

Ode to the Lump of Green Clay I Found in my Armpit One Midsummer Morn."

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Yeah, but Red Hour was one day once a year, right? Almost as bad as the Vulcans, doing it once every seven years!Although one day, if done right, might last you a year...

[The Iguana]

Some of the early reviews on this movie are brutal.

Hope they're wrong.

[Landru]

"Yeah, but Red Hour was one day once a year, right? Almost as bad as the Vulcans, doing it once every seven years!"

True-true.
But then again Vulcans are so wierd, anyway.
A Vulcan's wierdness is a *lot* more than just a pair of pointy ears, too.
I mean how much passion could one seriously expect coming from clowns with green blood who never smile, huh?
No, a Vulcan's wierdness is a lot more than just skin deep, alright

"Although one day, if done right, might last you a year..."

HA!!
Well for all-too-many it's got to last a year, anyway; regardless, of how it's done. {g}

Now just let Mrs. Landru try that crap on yours truly, just let'er try.
She'd be in-store for an extra dose of *absorption* right then & there, that much I'll tell ya.

...she'd learn all about the will of Landru, first hand.

[John O]

...she'd learn all about the will of Landru, first hand.

You'd better hope she's not reading this or it may be your last festival for a long time.

Thanks for a very entertaining discussion!

God Save America (Please)

[Landru]

"You'd better hope she's not reading this or it may be your last festival for a long time."

HA!!
You're correct about that, alright.
Party sure would be *over* -- red or otherwise.
Not even the Law Givers could help primarily because she is *The* A#1 Lawgiver, 'round here.

Hell's Bells I'd most liklely wind-up on Mudd's Planet.
Right alongside Harry Mudd getting badgered by *Stella* forevermore..."Harcord Fenton Mudd! Where have you been you sniveling louse...is THAT LIQUOR I smell on your breath AGAIN..."
Frightening thought. :o)

"God Save America (Please)"

...& I'll second that sentiment.

[B-Chan]

Apollo kick both dey asses.

[B-Chan]

Ah, the touching. Vaal has forbidden this.

[Charles Martel]

Well lemme ask you; did Landru ever need *fruit* to get-it-on? Yea...there.

Ahem... your namesake was *confused* to death by Kirk, whereas Vaal was subdued only by sustained fire from the ship's main phasers.

That said, I have always enjoyed a good red hour, every now and again. ;-)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

You and me both.

[Hacksaw]

So who's stronger, Landru or Vall?

If you could either make Data human or give Geordi sight, what would you do?

[Landru]

"Ah, the touching. Vaal has forbidden this."

Ohmygawdddd, that'd mean my wife could be Vaal.
Here I always thought the teeth & grin were *somewhat* familiar.

Last time I had this confused feeling?

...it was Kirk jammin' me with all that, "Prime Directive" malarkey.
