    Why do we have to go straight to skin color? Has anyone considered he meant blue as in sad? He'd be sad to live there. :-D

    Really? if your going to go that way then I will just say this Shran was one as well calling the humans pink skin

    please get over this, it is a game not real life if you can't handle it,then it is time to step away for awhile and rethink your life.

    That's the joke.

    again this is a game and Q loves to pull pranks on EVERYONE get over it.

    Just because one single member of the Andorian species was bigoted doesn't mean the entire race deserves to be insulted by Q!

    Even an omnipotent pink skin is still a pink skin.

    Question: If an Andorian and an Orion were to have an offspring, would it be brown? :P

    I leave that here, and run away in shame.
    Sorry, I have to do it.


    And yes, this is what I think everytime I see an Andorian. Deal with it.

    Regarding Andoria: "Look at this planet... if I were here, I'd be blue too."

    So what does it matter if they're blue, Q?

    Fabricated outrage is still a kind of outrage, you know.

    lol, his statement about all the giant spikes and giant statutes on Q'nos being over-compensation for something was very pointed....

    so I responded with, "We are just getting ready for your Mother to visit again", and moved on.....

    If Q is gonna throw salt, he can take it.

    Seemed appropriate that one of the videos that popped up on the sidebar related to my last post in this thread:

    Maybe, after maintenance, I'll go play Space Barbie and make me a blue alien.

    Or maybe Aqua...

    It's Q- he openly considers non-Q to be insects. Not out of character at all...

    I'm currently filming a 'Blue' movie on Andoria.

    It's going to be a bit like Avatar, but sexier!

    I'd take it more as there being something wrong with Andoria...
    Probably the fact its nothing but snow and NPCs standing around in the middle of nowhere.

      One of the most prominent Andorians to show up in a Star Trek TV show was Shran, who was very open with his use of the derogatory term "pinkskin"...

      And I think Q was referring to the mood blue... as in the Elvis song 'Blue Christmas'...

        ENT andorian lore makes my head hurt... it makes them seem a tad klingonish so one wonders why they'd become/remain feddies at all.

        Why does it need a GM?

        It's obvious the OP is having a bit of fun - no need to get upset about it.

        If you were omnipotent you prolly would be as well. I know I would. Course if I had Q's abilities I'd nuke ESD as well.
