A war-like species that is not totally xenophobic or just about the fight would be great. I love the Klingons, but they are too... base. The Andorians tended to be too xenophobic. Not meaning to poit to humans or Americans in WW2, but something like the "Wake a sleeping Dragon" comment kind of thing. A race that is realtively easy to get along with, but when push comes to shove they can throw down with the best of them. It would have been really cool is during the Dominion war the Andorians would have exploded back onto the screen as basically a hard hitting surgical squad. They could have played up how the Andorians had been soooo quiet for soooo long and then when they were actually threatened, BAM! They come out on fire!

The thing is most of this could have happened. We only saw a tiny fraction of what was going on in the War. Maybe the Andorians did play a large part.

You're right, of course, Teaos... it just would have been nice to see it. After all, there is a founding world of the Federation, comprising a warrior race - what better time to see them would there have been?

True, and I do admit that I do not pay uber-attention to details when I watch tv. However, one would think they would have been mentioned, if not shown.

Must have had a Democrat in charge at the time...

Maybe all their allies decided they were fed up with being shot at.

The Andorians were all probably too busy laughing at the humans tactics (or lack thereof) to fight.

HEY! Americans have tactics! We hit you very very hard and you cry and then we laugh then start hitting you harder so you stop crying because now we just want you to shut up!

Okay, correction: 'Federation tactics'.

I was about to say! With as many times as our 'tactics' have saved you, you should give them some credit!

Like I said; I should have specified 'federation tactics'.

You should have! You hurt my feelings, well you could have, if I had any.

Please, Deepcrush, don't get Seafort started on another litany of American military cock-ups. Despite all the times we've proved our military ability, there were a couple of foul-ups, and even though it's quibbling, he's usually right.

Thats just because he's a very smart man and can find fault in all things, OMG he's a vulcan!
