Something about Romulans

One small point regarding, Nero, the Romulan character from the future. Romulans were first introduced in an episode from the original television series titled "Balance of Terror." In that episode the entire bridge crew was stunned to learn that Romulans actually looked like Vulcans. Up to that point no one, in Star Fleet, had ever seen a Romulan. Interesting point considering that a vengeful Romulan from the future is so central in this current Star Trek feature. "If memory serves," this is also where the Star Trek lore, regarding the Vulcan origin of the Romulans, began. All this is quite minor consider the visual wow factor of the current feature.
Additionally, the concept of Transwarp, according to Star Trek lore, was first discovered by Spock. This is based on events that occurred in the original television episode titled "The Tholian Web." The term "interphase" was used to discuss travel between our universe and the alternate universe discovered in that episode. Beyond that, the current Star Trek feature is quite spectacular and well worth the viewing. I took my nephew and he is now hooked on the franchise. What a ride.
