Thanks for watching everyone :)
I love the Romulans (in spite of their ruthlessness). I am fascinated by their creativity and cunning.
Your description of them is superb: it is thorough and accurate.
One thing I would add is that the Romulans have a flair for design, like their namesakes from Ancient Rome. They have stylish uniforms, spectacular architecture (the buildings appear to be reaching for the stars), artwork-and-statuary (in the Senate chamber, for example), beautiful clothing, and magnificent ships (my favourite is the Valdore).
Jolan Tru.
Of course, in star trek Picard, we actually got a semi-answer to the question of why the Romulans have to different looks and that is because of the northern Romulans having the ridge, and the southern Romulans not having the ridge. However, the odd colored heart is still a mystery which could be explained by the 2 races theory.
Thank you for the info and the video. Jolan Tru! 🖖🏾
An excellent presentation! The Romulans are very interesting and i think its going to be great to learn more about them in Star Trek Picard!
"We still don't know what they do for fun"... Hu... They are Romulans, THEY DON'T KNOW FUN !
ahh yes - another trek alien that physically changed on a whim, more production budget or advance in makeup prosthesis - trek canon, the model of consistency!

This one in particular is something no one ver talks about 😂
Picard has both versions of Romulans, I believe the reasoning is that the ones with the ridges on their foreheads were "northerners" and the ones without were closely related to Vulcans.
IDK though.
@Victor Nikolai
ill finish that for you
"If they keep it on a level would be nice unlike with the klingons who were changed in Disco because...the producers did it on a whim, more production budget or advance in makeup prosthesis - and followed in the footsteps of uncle roddenberry
I realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new series online?

check Reddit, they'll hook up!
Extensive Research. Thank You, For Your Time And Effort.
This was a great overview, really enjoyed it! Thx!
_Star Trek Theory_
Glad you enjoyed!
Great Video!
Those 80s square shouldered costumes tho.
_George Moore_
I know right!? I used to hate 'em. Now I just find them fun.

Remus was abandoned before it happened.
Remans are not an indigenous race. They were Romulan, however, a smaller faction of Romulans that settled on Remus due to volatile differences of philosophy. Remans and Romulans were both the same species - Vulcan - when they left Vulcan during the Sundering - The Sundering is the split between Vulcans and Romulans after the rise of Surak's followers. Romulans were led by Surak's favored student who spilt with Surak, creating his own philosophy. Think Stoicism vs Cynicism. The mythos of the Vulcan peoples were created in The Original Series as well as by original series authors. (e.g. Diane Duane, The Romulan Way) See the Vulcan's Soul trilogy for the Trek history of the Romulans - when Remans were Romulan. Note: This series was released after Star Trek: Nemesis to explain the founding and history of The Romulan Star Empire. Yes, the Remans get the crap deal with a smaller, extreme planet; thus, develop physical differences from the Romulans who settled Romulus. (Remans reside underground because of the extreme surface.) The names Romulus and Remus are from Roman history - Rome's own founding myth. Vulcan, also is a name drawn from mythology. Vulcan is the Roman god of the forge and fire. These human names for the Vulcans and their off-shoots are discussed in writings by D.C. Fontana and Diane Duane. Roddenberry extensively drew on myths and legends, like Tolkien, but with a science fiction orientation. I grew up watching The Original Series before Next Generation aired. Roddenberry was aware of Greek philosophy, Roman history, and mythology - including the Celtic tuatha de dananns and dark elves of Nordic lore (Bulfinch's Mythology). Therefore, it would be correct to consider them all space elves. And all three Vulcaniod peoples have psi abilities. P.S. You're seeing the Romulans, all the variations, come together in Star Trek: Picard as they have in the novels and canon for decades. They are not necessarily xenophobic, and Star Fleet has their own shame and sins. (e.g. "The Pegasus" Next Generation) And, yes, Romulans have variations of the forehead as well as various hairstyles.
Thank you, that was very informative!
@@mydietisfruitsnuttandseed9817 You are welcome, my friend in Star Trek. I love to talk shop with fellow fans. Take care.
Fantastic video
Star Trek Picard answers the flay v ridged forhead. V shaped ridge romulans are "sputherners" , from the southern continents of romulus
For fun, they like to pull the wings off Klingon Glob Flies.
I have always been a huge Star Trek fan I have seen all the movies and all the TV shows and I always have been confused when it comes to Romulans and Vulcan 🖖🏾It’s 2019 I should not be still concerned about this but I have always been curious thank you so much for making this video it was very entertaining and educational
_Hadassah Israel Tv_
Glad it helped clear things up! And thanks for the comment. It's always nice to see the channel is useful and appreciated 🙂
I love Romulans💗
I always wanted to have pointed ears.
I believe the native name that the romulans use for their homeworld is Ki Baraton
The Kelvind are a good choice for study.
Jolan tru!
Crikey if that was for beginners I think I’ll pass on the advanced class! There was a lot of stuff in there I didn’t know but I wouldn’t of called myself a beginner. Very interesting though, thank you. Always good to hear about Vulcans, might make a good follow up vid?
_Jules A_
They get so much more complex when you dive deep into *DS9* ! I have a video on the Vulcans out already. Feel free to check it out 🙂
TREK on the TUBE Thanks I will 👍🏻
I can't wait to see a Trailer for Star Trek Discovery Season 3, Discovery will be at New York Comic Con next Month I bet we will get a Trailer.
_Daniel's Hot Topics_
I got to admit I'm pretty intrigued with what they're gonna do as well. A trailer would be much appreciated!
:They sound a lot like imperial Rome. Guess that would explain their name too: Romulus (founder of Rome and its name sake) -> Romulans
It’s a shame this video was released just a few months before the canon explanation for the Romulan ridged AND smooth foreheads (Northerners and Southerners). I never heard these old theories though, that’s a fun piece of fandom I never knew.
Rather bad haircuts too.
Only romulans from the north have the v ridge on the forehead
Green blood with red lips???
This was the best race explanations I've seen, I hate when it gets into why a wardrobe change is explained by and the story doesn't interest the teller and they just omit anything they doent care fore. I apriciate the actual lore thank you. Do you have born? Wether it's Wesley or younger? The Q? Or my hope would be the Douwd tbh.
_brandon smith_
Thank you so much for the kind words man! I have a playlist for the species videos on the channel. Haven't done them all yet but there's still quite a few 🖖
MAN: SPEAK TOO FAAAAST!!!
Whomever made this up had too much time on their hands.
Could you do Cardassians?
_Jules A_
I'll add them to the list!
TREK on the TUBE Thanks. Great characters, love those snake like neck/shoulder ridges and them always being cold too, really reptilian.
The Mintakans, a "proto-Vulcan" species also has these ridges. There's a theory on r/DaystromInstitute that states that Vulcans are to Romulans what are Augments to Humans. Note that Romulans don't have a problem with their emotions, and they need different species for telepathy (either the Aenar or Remans), which would indicate that they aren't telepathic.
_csehszlovakze_
Interesting theory. I still like the very simple "different ethnicity" thing better though.
Barbaric systems? Yes, but I feel like this is the difference between a "enlightened" society ( like Star Trek earthlings, Vulcans etc) and a "advanced" civilization. Many civilizations are advanced and practice racism, slavery, and social hierarchy. Take Roman empire for example, since we are talking about Romulans after all.
Yeah but the romulans how are they empire if they have a senate and they don't have an emperor if they're based on Rome and they have a senate then I assume that those senators are voted in the office by the romulan people
Romulans are always portrayed as Wrongulans. They all seem to have good and identical heads of hair, with black being the standout colour. I would hate to be involved in a Romulan Identity parade. 🤔

_Nick The Hick_
Noted!
You missed out Jad vash
_Darren Waggott_
There had never been any mention of that organisation until this weeks episode.
TREK on the TUBE didn’t realize the date you posted sorry :-)
_Darren Waggott_
No worries! I actually mad sure to release this before *PIC* aired so that new fans wouldn't be _too_ lost 🙂
Betazoid video please.
Make merch pls🖖
_Picard 009_
You know what? I'll look into that. You mean like shirts and stuff?
You need to revisit this again now that there is new Star Trek cannon based in the Picard series. They even address the differences in appearance in some ways. I think they will probably write it in as part of the official lore of the race soon. Just like what they did with klingons.
Yes but are the romulan senators voted into office by the people like modern US senators are they like Roman senators where they have to be a member of the aristocracy
I think Romulan women are hot. Call me weird but something about that haircut and mucus laden voice
Species not race.
Can you please just call them species? Much more Sci-fi
_Jacob Gamm_
I might just do that actually.
