Yeah, since when has fanfic meant anything? Sheesh, next folks will be lamenting the lack of ice powers.

Well, the name of the planet was Andor for 30 years worth of fan fiction, which, of course, Rick Berman never read.

I swear I could hear a million Trekkies shout "ANDORIA?!?!?" at the same time when that episode aired.

There are professionals who can help you with this hearing plenty of voices in your head issue.
Now in the real world people did not give a shit about whether it is called Andor or Andoria and were just glad that Berman brought back the Andorians. ENT had a lot of mediocre episodes but all episodes with the Andorians in them were either good or superb. In the real world good writing and not of reading plenty of bad fan fiction leads to good scripts.

I'm sorry I upset your delicate sensibilites with my frustration at the crappy attitude of the crappy producer of a crappy show.

I am sorry for you that you cannot actually see the Andorian stories of ENT (which were, as I already pointed out, of a far better quality than the average ENT episodes) because you are in fanboy anger mode and pissed off about a stupid name.

Okay, ya know, you're taking this a whole lot more seriously than I am, and this is getting more hostile than it needs to be.

Let's move on.

Since the Andorian homeworld was revealed to be a moon circling a gas giant in ENT, in my head (and fanfic) that Andor is the planet and Andoria is the moon. I then think that Andor would have various orbital habitats around it, so some Andorians may distingush and say they are from Andor instead of Andoria.

But that's just my interpretation of the names.

From http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Andoria#Background:

According to writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, in a special features segment in ENT Season 4 DVD, the establishment of the Andorian homeworld as a moon orbiting a gas giant was devised to help explain the contradiction of why it was sometimes called Andor and sometimes it was called Andoria, the gas giant being Andor and the moon Andoria.

Well there ya go, then!
