- Hope you've brought some warm clothes because Andoria is a chilly place. Sculpted from the ice of their planet (metaphorically) the Andorians are a cool race of surprising warmth.
This is the Cultural Index a series aimed at exploring various Science-Fiction species.
For outsiders to a series to get to know the basics and maybe even hardened Sci-fi nuts might discover something new.
Thanks for watching!

So while Vulcans are like the strict aunt, the Andorians are the Cool Uncle who brings you fireworks for your birthday.
Kinda yes
And the Tellarites are the uncle in law that no one invites but who manages to find out anyways and shows up despite no one wanting him there because he always acts like a boar, ...I mean bore. Of course the Klingons are the hyper patriotic cousin who joined the Marines but still acts like a jarhead because a jarhead is a jarhead; the guy is honorable but gets drunk and does stupid things. The Denobulans are the distant cousin who ran off and joined a commune during the 60s and now has a family that includes a number of erstwhile couples that practice free love and have open relationships; and a passel of kids that no one is quite sure about the parentage. And the Romulans are the family’s politician that is from a really distant part of the family and that no one likes because he’s a Republican with typical Machiavellian tendencies. No one talks about the Risan in the family though.
Or buys you beer when your 14! 😂
Say what you will about Enterprise, but at least we got to know more about the Andorians than any other series ever did.
What Nick said.
Yeah but fuck the Tellarites lmao
True, they are my favorite race in Star Trek
Enterprise was a good show
Yes, never really understood why they didn't really show up.
Put Andorians and Cardassians in the same ship or space station - and you will have a battle royale for the thermostat for the ages so bitter, no one will make it out of there alive
Funny comment.
a more modest approach would be to simply section off the station in halves, environmental controls in startrek and indeed even in our space stations in orbit, allow this.
Penname Geller add a Klingon and you’ve got a proper brawl.
Andorians and Tholians. Two extreme ends of the thermometer.
lmao facts
I find it interesting that the Andorians live in the cold yet have fiery dispositions while the Vulcans live on a hot planet and have a cold and calm demeanor.
No wonder conflict was inevitable between the two species. They are truly opposites of one another.
They do have a very high metabolism, which makes phase weapons particularly deadly to them
Shran was my favorite character in ST: Enterprise. Jeffrey Combs is such a versatile actor, and the writers gave him some of the best lines of the series. In a large sense, the sense is given that the friendship between Shran and Archer was the beginning of the alliance that would become the Federation.
it could be that they were both main characters in quantum leap just maybe
You may be thinking about Al Calavicci who played alongside Scott Bakula (Archer in ENT) in Quantum Leap. Jeffrey Combs was never in that show as a main character, and I don't recall him ever being in QL at all.
dammit that makeup made him look like al
Having said that, it was a nice touch to get Dean Stockwell to play the Tandaran Colonel Grat in the first season as the head of the Suliban detention facility where Archer and Mayweather got locked up in.
Combs is such a good actor. He played Shran the andorian on Enterprise Weyoun the vorta and Brunt the ferengi both on DS9 with all very different types of personalities. He made them all memorable.
It always bugged me that TNG, DS9 and Voyager were completly devoid of Andorians. I think the only time they are even mentioned is in the episode with Data's daughter.
Sad 😔 They a lovely shade of blue 💙💙💙
Not true. There was an Andorian clearly in the background scene on Risa when Picard was sunbathing trying to read his book.
Theirs a brief mention of them in ds9 though I forget the episode. I think quark is the one who mentioned them
It’s true that Enterprise is the only show where they’re featured.
That was deliberate, the idea was to showcase new aliens but then they ended up falling back on a bunch of the older races anyway and Andorians just got shafted.
The one thing I liked about Star Trek: Enterprise was the Andorians, I love how they are fleshed out and it’s sad how they are rarely shown in Star Trek series. I think any Andorian character would be pretty cool. I would put them in a Tactical position.
In "Rise of the Federation", Captain T'Pol actually has an officer who is an Andorian on her USS Endeavour. If "Enterprise" were to be revived-by jennifer.verti@cbs.com and lauri.metrose@cbs.com re-doing the last episode of the 4th season,the series could continue on CBS All Access into the Romulan War and onward. Trip is not dead. He faked his death so he could infiltrate the Romulans. Fans should write Alex and ask that they revive "Enterprise" without any more holo-programmes by "TNG", "DS9", etc. "Enterprise" should stand alone on its own.
@@virginiaconnor8350 God. No. Kurtzman-Trek is horrible.
Weirdly enough despite having Tactical acumen, I keep getting Science Andorians in my BOFF roster in STO
@@virginiaconnor8350 anyone else or don't do it at all
Good news about "Strange New Worlds"
The Andorians were the best thing about Star Trek Enterprise
Grand Admiral Thrawn And thank God they got Jeffrey Combs to play the main one....
I couldn't help but imagine the young commander Thrawn in Outbound Flight as commander Shran with Chiss features (and minus the antennas of course), even the ships looked like the andorian ones in my mind... ^^
pink skin
Jolene Blalock was second best then. :P
*Jeffery combs is the best thing about star trek period.
Vulcans was the teacher the Humans hated but needed and the Andorians was the friend they were glad to have.
Andorians: The Federation's Unsung Badasses
I liked the Andorians. Commander Shran was one of my favorite recurring characters.
Jeffrey Combs is the best non-main-cast star trek actor ever. And he's better than most of the main cast actors too. He deserves his own star trek show now, since they've got tons of star trek shows on the go at the moment, so why not make him some kinda captain in starfleet?
@@duffman18 I agree with you completely. He's played so many aliens, I bet he would jump at the chance to play a human.
Andorians were better friends to humanity than the vulcan were early on.
Vulcans know the danger of accelerating a cultures technological advancement to quickly.
I mean, not long after we made the first atomic bombs, we dropped it onto fellow hoomans.
And history has shown as over and over again what happens when a civilisation that is more advance meet a lesser advance one.
And barely living to the age of a hundred makes us seem like a bit of a child race.
Dying of old age to soon to acquire "real" knowledge.
But yes, they were a bit overly arrogant, but what Vulcan isn't?
Would a not arrogant Vulcan really be a true Vulcan? :p
And the Andorians are great! Real fun and cool race.
@@WolfFireheart I like Vulcans but most of them are asses and they were a bit on the authoritarian side, kind of a planet of Karens without the emotion, Andorians a bit hot headed but good loyal friends once a friendship was established, real sense of honor, duty and self sacrifice.
Pinkskins definitely isnt racist
This is true. Millions of humans were slaughtered in Enterprise and the Vulcans didn't lift a finger, at least the Andorians were willing to help...even if that help was a little bit self-serving at times. That and they were more willing than Vulcans to help humanity with technology. The Vulcans wouldn't even share their knowledge of tractor beams at one point.
@@WolfFireheart archer lived to 140. Medical technology would have greatly increased the average lifespan and healthspan
The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one!!
Just about my favorite Shran line. :)
My favorite line as well. I actually looked for this post before writing the same thing!
Lmao 😂😂😂
I wish we had had some kind of Andorian representation on ds9.
I can understand how they get left out of TNG but I find it hard to believe we didn't see a single Andorian during the Dominion war.
They have a big role in DS9 relaunch novels.
@@markuscriticus8278 That version was really just too weird and I thought kinda dumb , given they went with some kind of idea of four biological sexes that somehow didn't produce a population problem in their species' evolution but somehow became unmanageable in a highly advanced Federation. The Enterprise Andorians, though they skirted the four-person-marriage thing entirely, were actually in large part based on the LUG and later game systems' sourcebooks, possibly via some of the same creative talent, and that made a lot more sense. (On the fertility issue, basically there were still just two biological sexes but couples, presumably of whatever orientations, would marry in groups of four so they'd have more cooperation and redundancy in a dangerous world. I think it's just simpler that way, ...in a lot of warrior societies, people have *real* close friendships with people of the same sex, whatever form that takes, ...I tend to extrapolate on that to figure probably Andorians really don't care, at least on that basis, who's romantically-attracted to who, like Human cultures often have historically been. Kinda means everyone's in the same boat, even if they aren't bi. :) They're clannish, likely hunters in their species' history, so just think a bit of a pack mentality, ...and if your genes 'want' to survive, it's good to have three other people that consider any kids of yours the same as their own if you have a bad day trying to bring down the local equivalent of a mastodon or something. :) )
I've always thought it was a pretty dumb sci-fi trope to have writers go out of their way to make it that complicated for a species to have survived in the first place, then use that to 'punish' them over not being like Humans anyway, thus need to be 'saved' and all. (Also maybe the SFX guys and writers went too far out of their way to make Andoria look like a total iceball from orbit, then show only the Northern Wastes for an example of what Andoria's like, ...mono-climate worlds with humanoids on em does strain plausibility to me. :) )
Why were they left put of TNG along with a number of others?
@@williammerkel1410 Who can say...budget? Predictable writing? Taking the easy route? Lots of aliens made sense in DS9, but the lack of 'diversity' in the Enterprise's crew was a bit of a disappointment. They swapped a Vulcan out for a Betazoid, added a Klingon for character 'color', and Data as a walking - talking McGuffin. My guess: budget. TV shows are expensive, and actor prep to look 'alien' adds to that expense.
ST Enterprise went "all in" for the alien vibe, and that's why I have a fondness for the series second only to ST:TOS (and the deep disappointment that CBS chopped the series after Season Four).
I think the writers for DS9 just completely forgot about the Andorians and Tellerites and Thoalins and Gorn should have added all the races in the Dominion war.

Pink skin, speak for yourself.
Matthew Williams what episode is that from
@@BrowncoatInABox not from an episode. From Prelude To Axanar.
@@crazysoulja come on dude are you going full sjw and blm on a quote from star trek l😂😂😂
I always really liked the andorians and they portrayed a culture based not only on honour, but also discipline. They are experts at surviving in difficult environments and value teamwork more than probably any other race. Thats why I always wanted to see how a starfleet vessel with an andorian crew would operate. I'd expect them still to be more military than the average humans, but at the same time they'd have an incredibly tight bond among their crew.
They'd probably have the aircon running at full power 24/7 leaving no power for shields etc.
And unlike some of the other honor races, such as the Klingon, andorians don't seem to be so back staby.
an Andorian first officer or Science officer would be cool (no pun intended)
i remember in the 70's animated series, in an alternate universe, kirk's 1st officer was an andorian, because spock had died as a child.
Jacob Clark klingons are front staby, not back staby.
I liked Star Trek: Enterprise. I thought it was quite a good show.
A lot of people never gave it a fair chance, especially the more passionate TNG fanboys.
I also really love Star trek enterprise! Tbh it's my favorite
It wasn't that bad...
Though the crew was terrible, xcept for phlox and T'pol... but it had cool aliens!
@@williammerkel1410 Funny TNG is my least favorite.
Enterprise threw me for a loop at first and I didn't make it past the first episode, but later I gave it a second go and finished the whole series. I think its first season was really its best season.
i like the andorians and the culture they grew, they fight with honour and if you treat them with respect you can trust them, if they owe you they will pay you back, whereas the vulcans can't be trusted, they hide so much not just feelings, but truth also, the vulcans say they don't lie, but that is a lie in itself,
Admittedly Enterprise's Vulcans were being influenced by their Romulan cousins, they got a lot better over time.
Vulcan's don't lie ? I guess they're very good at bending the truth !👍😃
@@randybarnett2308 "Logic" makes it very easy to tell technical truths and lies by omission.
ironicaly Vulcans are the most ILLogical race in star trek.
Jeff Combs was fantastic on DS9 and fantastic on Enterprise.
Andorians are possible the best Aliens in Star Trek.
Yes, even compared to pinkskins. May be especailly.
Correct
I always liked them the best, especially when I'm blue.
A fun fact from a Star Trek book from the 70s, some early star fleet ships had all Andorian crews and their ships were painted blue. These ships were referred to as the Blue Fleet.
in Star Trek: Enterprise, Commander Shran is my most favourite character but my role model is Captain Jonathan Archer
EDIT: they have a great bromance together
When forming a close bond of friendship with an Andorian, is that a "snowmance"?
I think Archer now has a thing for Cpt. Hernandez. If not her, maybe another lady. By the time T'Pol becomes Cpt.of the USS Endeavour, Archer will be an Admiral. She has an Andorian first officer on her ship. Trip is in the story of "The Rise of the Federation" stories so he's not dead and faked his death so he could infiltrate the Romulans. The silly "TNG" holoprogramme messed up the real story.
I believe andorians also develop weapons for the federation. Phasers in particular
Logical assumption. They seemed to be way ahead of the Humans and possibly Tellarites, and the Vulcans didn't like sharing weapons, ...but Andorians seemed to be on a par there, so they'd be likely those who influenced Federation weapons tech the most.
I likem! Their home planet concept is unique and it let to much fun in Enterprise!
The only species to trade weapons with us in all of Star Trek.
Andorians are my absolute fave! Their blue skin is so beautiful and I love the eyes of the telepathics ✨
Yaaas that shade of blue has me ready to get married 💙💙💙💙
Quarians!
Quarians first. They run deeper and are not as obvious as the Turians, especially with the added content in the 2nd and 3rd games.
2164 not 2104 3:32
@@Kreachie the estimated date of 2104 is correct. ENT takes place in the early 2150s, United Earth calendar, and Shran told Archer that the Aenar were thought to be a myth until about 50 years prior.
Androians are one of the best friends of humanity.
2:53 Can we talk about the unlikely frequency with which Star Trek aliens look and sound like Jeffrey Combs?
Another great video, always liked the Andorians. When I was a child I was fascinated by their blue skin and antennae.
Agreed. I always thought the development of their backstory and culture was one of the greatest contributions Star Trek: Enterprise made to the franchise. That and vulcan ship designs.
And then finding out that their blood is a bright blue.
Andorrians have been a personal favorite of mine; ever since the Original series "Journey to Babyl ". They lack much of the superiority complex of the Vulcans which makes them more relatable
The Andorians are my favorite Star Trek species
6:37 isn’t that Andorian played by the same guy who played Weyoun or that Vorta in ds9 idk how to spell his name
Looked it up he is lol
Jeffrey Combs, highly under-rated actor that deserves more credit than he actually gets.
He played both Weyoun and Brunt the liquidator on DS9.
Yes.
He sounds exactly like Weyoun
Jeffery Combs was also the voice of Ratchet from Transformers Prime.
Little known Andorian trivia: From the Animated Series novelizations, the antennae were originally supposed to be their ears. That's why they show no ears in TOS and TAS.
According to one of the Concordances (IIRC) their primary was Epsilon Indi. If that sounds familiar, the planet Triacus ("And the Children Shall Lead" TOS, Season 3) shares the same sun, and the Andorians were probably one of the races that the evil denizens of that planet preyed upon, until they (and any other intelligent races in the system) turned on them and wiped them out.
I really like the Andorians, and wish they were used more in the many Star Trek series(they'd make great security personnel) but I get why, with the make up and antennae being more complicated than doing a Klingon. So thanks for the video!
As for next time, I had to like the Turians. The Quarians were uppity slave masters who built new life, it got out of their control, and in my first play through I let them suffer for their crimes of trying to kill their successors.
Thank you for making this awesome video, I wholeheartedly enjoyed it!
【Ｐｉｎｋ ｓｋｉｎ】
Thank you so much for making this. I have watched and shared it several times. I set-up the Andorian Embassy in Second Life at the Triscalia Star Trek sim. It took long months to make, but is so worth it. The Star Trek writers realy flushed out this species.
i really liked the Andorians in "Enterprise". always made for a good episode.
It kinda ticks me off that "canon" Star Trek ignores the fifth Founding Member of the Federation, Alpha Centauri, thanks to "First Contact" making Zephram Cochrane an Earth-man. Ugh!
Though it always actually seemed that Alpha Centauri had Humans on it , one way or another, either the Centaurans being ancestrally ancient Greeks tranplanted by aliens, or ....the idea being Alpha Centauri was already independent from Earth but also joined the Federation as a founding member and Cochrane just lived there. Kinda went by the wayside, that notion, though.
@@OllamhDrab Maybe Earth sent out a pre-warp sleeper ship to colonize
@@theloweffortchannel7211 Yeah, that's among the possibilities. Seems a dead certainty that at least that's one of the first places Earth colonized, or would travel to if there were people already there. It gets very little mention.
I'm very much enjoying this series. Thank you.
Happy to see the Andorians developed in ENT.
Ice forges real strength.
In FASA Trek, the Andorians were susceptible to higher temperatures and it made them more aggressive. As an ice age on their planet ended, conflicts between individuals and states increased. They basically prevented a World War by the invention of global climate control of their planet/moon.
Also like with Vulcans there were entire ships manned by Andorians only.
Andorians are my favorite and I enjoyed your video about them.
an additional video on just how complicated their family structure is would be helpful at some point. also wanted to see far more episodes with Andorians or based around their culture.
Turians!
LOL DERP! At 1st i thought you were sayin' clam, not clan...til i got to the phrase mentioning CLAM RIVALRIES! XD
Loving your Star Trek vids, THX!!!!!
Dude. Im almost able to make a playlist show casing all the species on my ship on STO, with just your index videos.
Still needed: The Hierarchy, Ba'ku, Betazoid, Human Augments, and the Protoss.
Everyone else, youve made a vid. XD
Excellent! Thank You.
I always disliked Andorians. I saw them as a devious type people due to their conduct in the original series. It wasn't until Star Trek: Enterprise and Shran that I changed my mind about them. Shran's code of honour and his bromance with Archer changed my mind. Combs made Andorians "cool".
Well done. I enjoyed learning about our Andorian neighbors. Ever thought of doing any videos about Andromeda?
I was hoping you would have gotten into the their 4 way marriages I thought that concept was interesting.
I love the scene in Enterprise when Archer suggested Shran and the Tellarite ambassador to sit down and begin the peace talk right there and then while surrounded by an armada of Andorian, Tellarite and Vulcan starships that are still under high alert
I love these cultural glimpses. I hope you continue them. With the Andorians, it would have been cool to have included TAS Commander Thelin. Not sure if there is much cultural or historical insights to gather from that alternative timeline, but it is one of the few original appearances of the Andorians (and the first time we see one in Starfleet). As I write this comment to this now older video, I'm thinking that a series or an episode on non-humans in Starfleet would be insightful (including non-canon, such as the horta crew member in the DC Star Trek comic series).
Naraht! Such a cheerful and energetic Horta! :)
Great video and series. However, I won't be satisfied until you've covered every Star Trek, Mass Effect, Alien, Star Wars and Halo species!
That's the plan. The stupid life-consuming plan.
how about the peacekeepers from farscape?
Your profile has a Rush quote, I approve
i would love to see a well written Andorian to play a major part in a Star Trek series as a crew member on a federation ship, sadly, to this day the only well written Andorian we have is Shran from Star Trek: Enterprise, considering their strong military culture, perhaps a similar role as that of Worf.
looking back at how much they helped Archer they are easily one of the most important founding races in the Federation.
OH! another thing that would be VERY interesting to finally see would be some decidedly NOT humanoid aliens serving in starfleet, give us something truly alien for once!
I usually don't make comments, but this was probably the best description of the Andorians I've ever seen or read. Thank you for also not including the ludicrous four-gender paradigm from the novels as they are portrayed on film as being two genders.
So you prefer the Alien is like Human template? :P Planet Watcher's comment in the comment thread above you explained it very well.
What's wrong with four genders? It makes for interesting stories due to its many implications.
They just use male/female pronouns for simplicity for binary species, nothing ridiculous about it. It's interesting and different.
Well, it's the four biological sexes thing that doesn't make sense, we know they have four-person marriages from canon, but the shows completely disregarded the version from some DS9 novels. That never made any sense anyway. I think they were just trying to make them 'straight' despite being poly, so I found that unimaginitive compared to say, a different culture where two couples of whatever orientation marry in groups of four so that in a dangerous world, there's three people treating the shared kids as their own if something happens to any one.
Actually I think it's those *novels* that introduced some contorted and implausible ideas to avoid the possibility that all peoples and all cultures don't necessarily have anything to do with the dominant Human cultures' ideas that the only possible reasons to bond with others or form a family have to do with *needing to to make babies* in the first place, and then somehow presented this as a 'crisis' that could only be solved by making an ...actually older species.... more like those human cultural assumptions. :) That's what I find *lacked imagination.* Basically to *avoid* really fleshing out a different culture. :)
Obviously the life forms on Andoria survived their evolution without having a problem it took Julian Bashir and a global personality crisis to solve in the 24th century Earth time.... by becoming like Western human monogamists.... :) (Anyway, the Enterprise series just avoided the issue, but otherwise based the Andorians largely on a game supplement with a different scheme and idea of it all, it's where they got things like the Ushaan from etc, (though Enterprise's version of that seemed ridiculously overcomplicated and with bulky equipment no one would be carrying around, never mind while evacuating a spaceship. :) The Last Unicorn Games version was just a knife-fight, if possible with something like an 'ushaan-tor,' either on a square marked out on clean ice or with white cloth. Not 'Weirdly gigantic gauntlets making it semi-estrappado' :)
Thought the blind Andorian girl in this ep was gorgeous.
Not even of our species, bui you could tell she was beautiful in body and soul.
she's an Aenar
She's actually an Aenar
Was the little girl in 'TATV' blind too? She was beautiful too. I like the way T'Pol gently lead her away. Apparently, having had taken care of a baby, even temporarily, T'Pol has developed a softer side to her. Read that it was actually Shran's wife, Jhamel, that was kidnapped instead.
(Certifiably Ingam) Star Trek is wonderful, very good Channel always remain so (great), always with great information about this monstrously lovely series of all time, alias she is always helping us to walk to the future that is now we are in the door of him ... thanks to a Star Trek with complete certainty ... .together with God ..
Thank You!
wow loads of excellent info. did you notice the shy telepathic species antenna looked really close to the Twitter pic sent by someone working on Discovery? crew member?
Love the use of Nirnroot for vegetation
Always wondered what their deal was!
My favorite scenes in Enterprise involved the Andorians. All in Zindi space as well.
You should cover the ship designs, systems and weapons of each race as well in these
Sweet 👍
Nice video.🖖
In the novels, Andorians have four genders or biological sexes required for procreation (zhen, shen, chan, and than). I find this fascinating, unique, and worth exploring further. I think when Data notes in the tv series that Andorians have 4 way marriages, he might be referring to this biological and social aspect of the species
That seems very unlikely from a biological perspective, since it would make successful reproduction much more challenging, enough so that it would likely negate the benefits associated with sexual reproduction (genetic diversity).
There is more history than expected.
I vote The Gorn.
I would love to see a video on the Ferengi
Right off the bat, a Xenomorph cameo.
Can you do the andalites from the animorphs book series and show
Thanks
I think I might be andorian I don't use heat in winter and in summer I keep my house 15 degrees Celsius. Not to mention I don't wear a coat till it's below 3 degrees Celsius. I love the cold weather but I am Russian, German and Jewish descent.
"As cold blooded creatures would perish within minutes."
LEL
The last video of yours I watched ended with you saying that you were Rick. I was therefore expecting you to have a new name this time around. Lol
Actually the antenna of a part of their visual system originally he'll the cones and rods that detected color while their eyes saw in black and white giving them a quadrophonic vision that was exceptional
No canon source ever actually used that idea, cause it was silly. It also said they were insectoid, when they clearly never were that.
The part about the Gorn dying in the cold of Andoria is extra appropriate given SNW S1E9!
It's cool that were getting an anar crew member in star trek strange new worlds
I imagined the early Andorian exploration of their world not in icebreaker types of ships, but more along the lines of ice skimming ships like the ones described in Alan Dean Fosters books: Icerigger and Mission to Moulikin.
My favorite Andorian character js Admiral Thrawn! How he lost his antennae is still a mystery...
Love me some Andorians.
thanks
of course booze when you try living in a frozen waste land or very cold place booze is the only way to stay warm correction booze women a good fight just ask Scotty he say the same
So you know, booze doesn't actually help you keep warm at all, it's just nice anyway when you aren't. :)
@@OllamhDrab yup it does not medically help with keeping warm
Booze will actually lower your body temperature.
Perhaps Andorians drinks DO increase body temperature afterall it's never mentioned what effects it has and don't forget they also don't tell you how humans react to it.
Go with the Turians. We already know a lot about Quarian history from Tali and Legion.
..I am hoping to see klingons and perhaps Acamarians, soon.. as well as sangheili (Halo) and unggoy (same as sangheili)
I like how Ric usually ends CI vids with "I've been Ric" - never "I'm Ric". It's as if he leads a double life under another name when not doing CI.
Andorians were some of the best part of Enterprise.
I wish they had explored more of Andoria but the little info they give suggest not all of Andoria is arctic, my guess parts are subarctic likely no deserts but no temperatures near boiling point. The gas giant orbits an F type main sequence star which is hotter than our sun.
Sadly ... Star Trek's planets tend to be one-dimensional one-hat tropes just like the races which inhabit them. We saw small portions of the surface on Andoria, on Vulcan, etc ... which explains that these entire planets are arctic or desert biomes with largely uniform surface conditions, lol. Orbiting a star of some type chosen only for size and colour.
Don't get me wrong, I love Trek. But this is one aspect of Trek which tends to be very weak and dumb and shallow. The "unrealism" serves story but breaks the deeper immersion.
i love investing my time into things that have absolutely no bearing on real life... i also love people who love this type of thing (rather than those who are always angling on how to get more in real life). there is some kind of freedom and cathartic release associated with the lack of self centeredness that is involved with most real world ventures.
sry for off topic stuff; just musing.
Damn I'm actually pretty interested in enterprise now
Please do a video about humans or direct me to that video. It would be much appreciated. Thank you
It is curious how the Andorians were better friends to humans than the Vulcans, who most of the time were self-righteous bastards, ever were.
I like to see what kind of industry they had 4 Manufacturing as well as agriculture weaving technology development
Andorians are an amazing people
Do you think they wear Spandex?
Can you make a video about Talaxians
I really like Shran. Andorians seem to have a sense of honor and loyalty that eludes the klingons entirely.
For them "honorable" is everything that gives them the most benefit.
If you look at the episode in DS9 where they were waiting, cloaked in the debris field of destroyed cardassian vessels to attack anyone who might try to rescue the survivors Dr. Bashir rightfully said: "Well, that doesn't sound very honorable to me" to which Worf answers: "In war, there is nothing more honorable than victory".
Another indication of the rot that has befallen the klingon culture.
