While according to current Star Trek lore, the Andorians were one of the three founding races of the United Federation of Planets (along with humans and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startrek.com\/library\/xeno.asp?ID=70753\" title=\"Star Trek: Vulcans\">Vulcans<\/a>), yet we&#8217;ve rarely seen much of them, with their few &#8216;starring&#8217; roles dating back to the original series. Well, this week we got re-introduced to them, and it looks like they may be much more major players than they have in the past, which could turn out to be quite interesting.<\/p>\n<p>We are also being treated to a much more interesting view of the Vulcans. Always before, they&#8217;ve been coldly logical, somewhat aloof characters, with the race as a whole obviously a strong and trusted member of the <acronym title=\"United Federation of Planets\">UFP<\/acronym>. However, we&#8217;re now seeing some of the Vulcans weaknesses and less-than-idealistic tendencies, and I for one find the new look at the history of the race fascinating (to coin a phrase). Typically, however, the new views have been raising quite a storm among many fans, and there are some very interesting arguments over at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trekbbs.com\/\" title=\"TrekBBS\">Trek BBS<\/a> on both sides of whether this is a good development or not. Personally, I think it is&#8230;but that&#8217;s just me, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to more&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are also being treated to a much more interesting view of the Vulcans.
