Favourite Romulan episodes?

[BlueStuff]

For me, mostly the obvious ones:

Balance of Terror
The Enterprise Incident
The Enemy
The Defector
Unification
Timescape
Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast
In the Pale Moonlight


Haven't seen enough of Voyager or Enterprise to comment. I did like Eye of the Needle, although it's not really about the Romulans, but rather it features a Romulan.

For me (also obvious):
"Balance of Terror"
"The Enterprise Incident"
"The Deadly Years"
"Minefield"

 

[R. Star]

The Defector stands out the most for me.

 

[Dale Sams]

I wonder what the Romulans call themselves?

Rihannsu, according to a series of Trek novels by Diane Duane.

 

[BillJ]

Balance of Terror
The Enterprise Incident
The Enemy

I think The Defector is overrated (great acting but shaky execution of the premise) and the rest of the episodes from Modern Trek had the Romulans as really generic bad guys.

 

[Reanok]

Tos Balance of Terror and The Enterprise Incident. Tng The Enemy, Face of the Enemy. Ds9 In the pale Moonlight

The Balance Of Terror and The Enterprise Incident were great.

I didn't care for the evolution of the Romulans after TOS, including The Undiscovered Country.

The Enterprise Incident. Which is also my favourite TOS episode.

 

[Mario de Monti]

TOS: "Balance of Terror" and "Enterprise Incident"
ENT: "Mine Field"

I never liked the way the Romulans were "used" post TOS, so I don´t care much for those episodes.

Rihannsu, according to a series of Trek novels by Diane Duane.

Romulans, according to Angry Gene Roddenberry

(and thus began the whole "novels aren't canon" thing)

 

[lurok]

Incident
Inter Arma
Pale Moonlight
Message
Image/Shadows (just for Megan Cole, my favourite Romulan after Linville)
Minefield

 

[The Wormhole]

Face of the Enemy and Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges.

Enterprise's Minefield also had the Romulans known among everyone else as Romulans. In fact, when Hoshi translated their message and mispronounced the name "Romalin" T'Pol corrected her that it was pronounced "Romulan."

I am not really familiar with the Romulans post-TOS but I do love both Balance of Terror and the Enterprise Incident.

I know the Romulans were supposed to be the villians in Search for Spock before it was changed to the Klingons and I would have actually preferred that but it is what it is.

I don't like the Romulans at all in the New Trek movies. This was my first exposure to them and I thought they were horrible villains so I was surprised how much I liked them in TOS.

And I am coincidentally reading My Enemy My Ally right now. Even though it is not canon, I do enjoy Duane's interpretation of the Romulans.

 

[M.A.C.O.]

ENT
Babel One, United, The Aenar.

I really like the character of Valdore. The part about him challenging the precept of unlimited expansion by the Romulan people, has stuck with me. Had the show not been cancelled I think Valdore could've become a great recurring character.

TOS
Balance of Terror and Enterprise Incident

TNG
Unification, The Next Phase, Face of the Enemy

DS9
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

VOY
Message in a Bottle

Nero and his crew are horrible villains in general. The worse in any Trek movie, probably even the worse in Trek overall. They are that bad.

 

[Mysterion]

Balance of Terror. The first and still the best romulan episode. Mark Lenard's Commander conveys a sense of complexity and dignity that is not seen again on-screen from a romulan.

I'm also a big fan of Diane Duane's Rihannsu stories, and John Byrne's comics about the romulans.

 

[blueshirt]

I'm trying to keep my list short:

"Balance of Terror"

"The Enemy"
"The Defector"
"Face of the Enemy"

"In the Pale Moonlight"

"Eye of the Needle"

I also enjoyed that in "The Chase," the Romulan commander was the only other one to appreciate the meaning of what happened.

This.

Wasn't happy how they turned the Romulans into treacherous cartoon-type villains while the worthless Klingons were fleshed out and made complex.
