The Romulan plan made no fucking sense

They spent years to plan in order to send 2,000 men to attack Vulcan as an invasion force

Starfleet will intervene but by then they will be "Entrenched "

...

Wat

Vulcan is a planet

2,000 men (with no supply lines) couldn't even hold Australia .

Couldn't they have been carrying huge bombs or something ?

Everything involving Sela in TNG was such shit tbh. Even her whole backstory is just incredibly depressing for Star Trek.

Well, technically they said there were over two thousand Vulcans on board.

So maybe it was actually two hundred million.

That's over two thousand.

Depressing =/= bad

Sareks arc was great

Tasha Yar definitely has one of the worst lives in all of fiction.

Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
In recognition of your overwhelming victory, let's call it a draw.

Haven't seen the episode in a long time, but it could be typical Romulan pompousness and overconfidence?

It almost makes you think the writers hated Tasha and Denise Crosby or something.

Perhaps but then there is absolutely no drama

Independence Day doesn't work if the aliens couldn't even blow up Cardiff

What if the Romulans had a couple of Daleks on board?

Those motherfuckers can take over entire planets alone.

There's also the fact that Vulcan is pretty deep into Federation territory.

Vulcan and Romulus are both in the Beta Quadrant.

True but Vulcan is still prime Federation territory

3 fleets would struggle to take it, the Dominion/Cardassian/Breen alliance couldn't in a war they were winning

Yet 3 ships with 2000 men can?
Because they are "Entrenched "

wat

tbf, they like to brag and say they can rule planets with a single Dalek, but with the times we've seen small numbers of Daleks:
  1. 3 Daleks pretend to be servants in order to secretly make more of themselves, requiring an army before they start killing.
  2. A single Dalek kills about a dozen soldiers, drains Utah's power, then kills itself.
  3. 4 Daleks get sassy with Cybermen before opening a prison to have an infinite army of Daleks.
  4. 4 Daleks kidnap people and turn them into a pig army and try to make more Daleks because that's what they do.
  5. 3 Daleks pretend to be soldiers in order to secretly make more of themselves, requiring an army before they run off into the universe in fear of the Doctor.
  6. 1 mentally ill Dalek kills a bunch of other Daleks and runs away.
  7. 1 Recon Dalek kills about half a dozen people, then loses to a microwave and falls into a black hole, then gets brought back to life and- get this- creates an army before trying anything else.
So the whole "rule a planet with a few Daleks" thing is propaganda BS.

I guess it depends on the planet

Only takes 1 person to conquer Pluto

No I mean depressing and bad. All of Sela's episodes are terrible and she's like a saturday morning cartoon villain who happens to have an incredibly dark origin story of her mom being in sexual slavery and committing suicide that her kid promptly ignores and ruins the nice sendoff Tasha got in a way better episode.

Not everything is parties and ice cream

Sometimes bad things happen

I don't think theres anything wrong with that, DS9 bending over backwards to give absolutely everyone ridiculously happy endings was just dumb.

Why was Rom made Nagus?
Would be like making Donald Trump presi- oh wait
