nothing personal
No...
Hunter, I don't take any of this personal at all. But I do appreciate you clarifying that though. I am just having fun doing the same thing on this and other forums that we all are. Enjoying sharing my passion for Trek with others.
It was my passion for Trek that lead me to get a masters degree in comprehensive digital visual media in the first place. Now I have done some REALLY sweet FX for various films all because of my love of Trek.
Because of that I have also worked on a Trek project that allowed me to work in person with some of my childhood heroes like Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols and Tim Russ, just to name a few.
I am not trying to defame anyone here. Just trying to share what I have with others that yearn for the same info that I yearn for about all things Trek.
My best to you, Hunter.

If Vulcans and Romulans are the same species, what gives with the bumpy heads? That always bothered me. I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Bumps are for chumps.
But let's not turn this into a forehead debate, it could get awfully "bumpy."
Vulcans and Romulans are "distant cousins. According to Memory Alpha's article on Romulans:
Now I got it... Nero is actually a quarter-Human/quarter-Vulcan/quarter-Romulan/quarter-Klingon hybrid! This is also what drove him crazy and made him so evil...
And at the zero-hour, Earth will be miraculously saved by a koala/fish/mutant/bird! Where do there come up with this crazy shit?
If your sources were sworn to secrecy about ST XI, like all the others working on the film, why then are you dropping rumours here, and why do you intended to disclose your sources - "once the film comes out" and you "have the green light" to reveal that source - since they weren't supposed to tell you in the first place?
*Spits water all over your face*
Fresh water or salt water? I suppose it depends on the fish?
Don't make fun of the Tomalok (actual spelling), Senator Tomalok was my great aunt Matilda's fourth cousin on my mother's side...
I never understood how in only 5,000 years Romulans could have developed ridges. TNG backed itself into a corner with that one. It's so easy to tell Vulcans from Romulans... how would they ever achieve Unification? "My family is PURE Vulcan, no ridges in our family tree!"
...being a quarter human would drive anyone crazy...Now I got it... Nero is actually a quarter-Human/quarter-Vulcan/quarter-Romulan/quarter-Klingon hybrid! This is also what drove him crazy and made him so evil...
GothTrek - I hope you understand its nothing personal. You're relatively new, and we often get new people in here claiming to have "inside info" which is really nothing more than there own fanboy fantasies elaborated upon and passed off as fact. You may well be right... but we've been burned before, so we're bound to be a little skeptical.
Well, if you count TAS, Spock traveled back in time to create his own future (although the whole thing was kinda muddled and doesn't entirely make sense). That could be the case here (except, hopefully, the muddled part
).My guess is he has battle scars showing that the Romulans are more aggressive and blood thirsty than Vulcans.
Like I said. No harm taken at all. I may not post alot, but I have been posting for about two years here I think now.
Well, we do know who GothTrek is:

It's even in his signature!

That adds some credence.
Thanks for the backup SR.
I was trying to keep low key but it doesn't really matter I suppose if everyone knows who at least I am. Never been a fan of drawing too much attention to myself.
::EDIT::
BTW, I am not taking any of this personally. People are people after all.

For the record, I've never been convinced of most of the "things we know for certain" (things like, for instance, the idea that the console we see Abrams' Mac sitting on was on the Enterprise Bridge... things like "both Spocks work together on-screen... things like "the majority of the film is set on the Enterprise"... things like "they're not going to show us the Academy"... things like "The Romulans are the villains" and things like "Eric Bana is playing a Romulan").
The information which has been put out for broad public consumption is far more limited than what most folks think of. The list of pieces of information we have, for CERTAIN, is far shorter than most people are thinking as well.
We know that we see the various "TOS" characters in at least one setting, played by new actors.
We know that a portion of the film is set at Starfleet Academy. We THINK we know that this is set during Kirk's Academy days (but we don't, really).
We know that we'll see Pike. We don't know how, or WHEN, or in what context.
We know that there are some Romulans.
We know that Eric Bana is playing a character referred to as "Nero." It's believed by most (but not known) that he is the villain. It's believed by some (but not known) that he is a Romulan.
We know that there are a variety of different uniforms and costumes seen. We've seen bits and pieces that look "post TNG" and we've seen things that look very much "TOS" in nature.
There have been a few leaked images of props that've hit the 'net and then been pulled. There have been a few shots of sets that have been let slip.
And of course we have the images of a ship called "Enterprise" which is similar to the one we know but also different in many ways. Whether this is the "Enterprise as originally built" or "the Enterprise undergoing a refit later" or "the Enterprise in an alternative timeline" or just "a bogus look for the Enterprise as a red-herring to confuse people" for that matter is... you got it... UNKNOWN.
Anything else we actually know at this point? Maybe we need to make a list, huh?
As far as I'm concerned... this character doesn't look like a Romulan. He looks very much like a TOS-era Klingon who's shaved his head and gotten a few tatoos.
So there's no evidence other than the character's name that he's a Romulan, and there's the evidence of this image that seems to say that he's NOT a Romulan. I'm giving it a 75/25 % chance that he's NOT a Romulan, and a 50/50 % chance that he's a Klingon.
Then again, my PERSONAL OPINION matters not at all... nor does that of anyone else posting in this thread. No matter how much anyone claims to be certain. The only folks whose opinion on this topic actually matters... aren't talking.
