Our ReviewI've watched the first five episodes. They were not released in order, but as 1, 2, 5,3,4. I think the strongest was 5. Strangely, I do't think 3 and 4 were nearly as good as 5. This is not a formal review, but if you only want to sample one of these, try 5.
The show is based on the TOS Season 1 episode that introduced the Romulans, "Balance of Terror." It follows Earth spaceship Captain Stiles, who is mentioned in "Balance of Terror" as being the ancestor of the TOS helmsman by the same last name. The actor who plays Captain Stiles in Romulan Wars is a heck of a lot better looking (his picture tops this webpage) than the actor in TOS. Captain Stiles commands the USS Yorktown. This show takes some cues from Enterprise, which is set in the same time period, but also offers it's own touches. I liked the acting of the core group. Really enjoyed the show. They seem a little unpolished, but not in a way that was out of character, more in a way that sold the characters. - Barbara Reader
