They explore some of the passionate and capricious tendencies of the Romulans, but in a very interesting and nuanced way. Plus, the Romulan perspective of the Sundering is pretty much exactly how I&#8217;ve always thought it should be &#8211; that it was a traumatic event but necessary to preserve their freedom and their emotions from the extremely restrictive (and quite frankly absurd) new Vulcan theocracy formed in the &#8220;Time of Awakening.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still don&#8217;t like MMOs, but this one is worth it for the Romulan storyline alone. It is super Star Trek-ey, and it seems like they really gave a lot of thoughtful consideration to the canon that came before, and then extrapolated to what exactly that would mean if explored in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sundering-1024x751.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1917\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sundering-1024x751.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sundering-300x220.png 300w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sundering-768x563.png 768w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sundering.png 1103w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>D&#8217;Tan speaking truth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1918\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200223220913_1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Mah Ship<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1919\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.certainly-strange.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/screenshot_2020-02-23-20-49-24.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption> &#8220;You guys I think&#8230; I think this is way too many stars.
