"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
Nice. Notice how the Imperial crest had the Raptor holding the planets Romulus and Remus in its talons (representing power), while the Republican crest has the Raptor holding New Romulus up to the light on its wingtips (representing the new spirit of openness).
Not that cryptics wasnt great, awesome job whoever, but that pops.
New home of the Romulan Republic.
I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.

The Republic symbol also still has planets in its talons.

If the U.S. turned into a totalitarian regime, and a bunch of its citizens broke off and formed their own state, they would probably choose not to keep using the old flag.

Perhaps to reflect how the Republic is casting down the old order in favor of a better one.
