    Can we stone them out, then?

    I think Tholians are crystals... As such I assume they kinda have to grow on their own... Of cause most crystals takes decades to grow.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Can we snort them then? ;)

    Story wise, I'd like to know...

    A) What they're doing on Nukara Prime
    B) How they captured the Mirror battleship
    C) If they'll discharge Tovan Khev for me.

    Failing that... can we have an STF where we need to board a Tholian ship, capture X object, then get off before the ship goes boom?

    Oh sweet mother of tacos. :eek: Bizarre alien geometry, Tholians coming at us from every conceivable direction, the concept of "down" randomly changing. Can you imagine field day the art team would have in creating such a map?

    Do it Taco, dooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! :D

    B) How they captured the Mirror battleship

    This is partially explained in the above blogs too... Low risk farming of tech.

    C) If they'll discharge Tovan Khev for me.

    Unfortunally not.

    Failing that... can we have an STF where we need to board a Tholian ship, capture X object, then get off before the ship goes boom?

    They've only released 4 STF'es (5 but they've taken Terradome back out, so...). I don't think we're gonna see any new ones of those... At least not until GozeR comes back.

    Wouldn't be that hard too just decrease Quality Control even further, the bugs will take care of it for them. Sometimes you won't even get to finish the mission. Crazy Tholians :P

    Kinda like that scene at the end of one of the Tomb Raider movies? Hehe, Lara and the bad guy go around walking up and down this room with these weird stone columns. :D

    Count my vote for more Tholian goodness. I'd like to think there's much more to learn about this race.

    * It would be intriguing if their homeworld (Tholia) was going through some form of "climate change". [During the ENT episode, "Through the Mirror Darkly, Part I", we saw what happens to Tholians when temperatures change.]

    As a result of the planetary problems, the Tholians are looking to migrate elsewhere. I don't think the major Alpha Quadrant civilizations would have an issue with this, since the Tholians are more likely to inhabit Class-Y (demon-class) planets.

    Undine = genocidal race.
    Tholians = xenophobic race. They just want to be left alone.


    * Maybe the dimensional rifts in Tholian space were artificially created, e.g. something akin to Omega particles which disrupted space-time. There could be an interesting back story. What if the Iconians were adversaries of the Tholians... and the Tholians weakened the fabric of space in their territory to stave off the Iconians? (Think about the dimensional travel aspects of Iconian technology.)


    * What I REALLY want to see: The return of the Excalibans from the TOS episode, "The Savage Curtain." Maybe their evolutionary path was different than the Tholians, or maybe they are somehow related. Carbon-based life forms. Fascinating.

    ...look at my avatar and sig. Need I say more?

    But seriously, yes. +1 for antihero xenophobic-but-not-evil Tholians. What we really need?

    Something to satisfy the people who want more diplomacy, more Tholians, and more STFs all at once. Diplomatic STFs, where you have to run around trying to think like a crystalspider to avoid offending them, balancing pure diplomacy with thwarting Icronian attempts to sabotage the proceedings...

    I would like to see more on them as well. To finish the story and what they are up to. However they need to let "time" kinda move a little. So I can see them going back to them in the next season or 2. To give them time to make a move. Look at the Undine. They started their story some years ago. They are just now getting back to progress their story.

    I think it should that the Tholian's arms and legs are just for when they're in their ships and EV suits, otherwise they should just be the main body floating around like the Exocomps.
