3/10. Not much of a Star Trek fan, as you can tell.

5/10. I always liked the Romulan warbird ship. Had a model of that when I was a kid. I have to say though, the Romulan's reappearance in TNG was even more outstanding, and I loved that warbird even more. It is HUGE compared to the Enterprise.
I liked the Romulan commander's ominous warning in the first episode where they reappeared in TNG, "We're back."

5/10 !?

I love that episode! How could I never have noticed the color of the gas, or the names of Romulans and the last survivor Outpost 4?

9/10 Couldn't remember the sub commanders name. By far one of the best episodes in the series. First time we see the Romulans and learn they are a off chute of the Vulcan race.

This is one of my favorite episodes of Season 1. I love how the Romulan commander (so dignified) returns the next season as Spock's father. Well, the actor does, I should say.

Journey to Babel was a great episode. Showed the conflict between Spock and his father over Spock's choice to enter Star Fleet over the Vulcan Science Academy.

I liked seeing the dynamic between the two and Spock's mom as the go-between. Definitely one of my favorite episodes. 👍

A trip to the agonizer booth for you.

Point of order on question #3. In this episode, the character was only known by the first name shown in the question. The rest of the name wasn't established until the character appeared in the prequel series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds"

Your right! In the 60's series he is only called Hansen.

Well no wonder that question threw me! 😬
