I want to smell dark matter
I cannot reveal my sources at this time, but I have been mailed more Romulan facts to go along with "they're all bald and pirates!"
- Every single Romulan pirate in the movie has had their ears chewed off by feral Gorn in a kind of "rite of passage" all Romulan pirates must go through.
- Nero's tattoos mean absolutely nothing and at one point he'll look in a mirror and say "what the hell was I thinking?"
- The Romulan pirates will be charming and have an active sense of humour, constantly making jokes about "Remans".
- The Romulan pirate ship looks almost exactly like The Millennium Falcon only painted green.
- The movie opens with a twelve minute battle sequence between the Romulan pirate ship and "Grand Nagus Rom's Marauder" during which the Romulans steal "the Ferengi time travel device." Rom is played by the guy who played Jango Fett in Star Wars rather than Max Grodenchik, for some reason.
- One of the background Romulans is played by Andrew Robinson. He only has one line in the entire movie ("DIE, FEDERACISTS!") right before he's stabbed in the neck by Chekov. This will confuse fans who will eventually discover that Robinson is only in the movie due to a tedious contractual dispute going back to his time on DS9. He will be paid 1.5 million dollars for this role, for legal reasons.
- At one point, McCoy will attempt an autopsy on a deceased Romulan. However, when he cuts into the body, a strange green gas emits from it and knocks McCoy unconcious. When he awakes, the body has melted and he says "damn it Jim, I can't find out what species this bastard was now!"
- There will be a gay subtext between Nero and the Andrew Robinson Romulan, although it'll amount to little more than Nero saying "no, not my top man!" after Robinson's character is stabbed in the neck by Chekov.
- The word "Romulan" will never be used in the movie. In fact, the only way you'd know they were Romulans is if you read it on a message board.
- Throughout the movie there will be scenes where Nero takes orders from a shadowy figure wearing a cloak. After Kirk defeates Nero in a fight scene on a bridge (a cheeky reference to Generations!), he will ask Nero who he was taking orders from. Before Nero can answer, the shadowy figure will shoot him dead with a poisoned dart. This will make some viewers think he was taking orders from Rom, since he's played by the guy who played Jagon Fett and Jango Fett killed Zam Wessell in a similar way in Attack Of The Clones, as all nerds know. But it's actually a complete coincidence.
- After the credits, the shadowy figure will step into the light, throw back his cloak, and be revealed as WORF! He will take out a photo of Kirk looking like William Shatner (Shatner will be paid 1.4 million dollars to pose for the photo and complain that "they paid me less than Garak!") which will suddenly CHANGE to a photo of Kirk looking like Chris Pine, like something out of Back To The Future! Worf will then smile, say "K'PLAH!" and walk away. This will not be explained at all in the sequel (which will be about a ghost haunting the Enterprise.)
I'll try to find out more.
