THANKS FOR WATCHING !
The Andorian's are probably my favorite species on Star Trek Enterprise.
I for one take "inconsistencies" in "Star Trek" aliens as evidence that this is an entire species from an entire moon, not one tiny village from an island. Different Andorian ethnic groups might have different antenna and skin colors, which would become even more mixed after globalization.
How different Andorian cultures would regard the four Andorian sexes, their unique sky, and how one should manage your own electromagnetic field, would have a lot of interesting variety, if you ask me.
Excellent video! I really have always been a fan of the Andorians and I am a huge Jeffery Combs fan so it was perfect
Andorians antennas are 😍 cute
They are weird and cool at the same time.
Andorians are my favorite Alien Race on Star Trek! Great job on the video! One thing to point out... they actually showed two types of Andorian Warships on ST:ENT the aforementioned Battle Cruiser and a reuse of a Valakian Shuttle as a smaller Andorian Cruiser.
We do learn something about Andorians in Journey to Babel, Ambassador Shras states that they are a violent race. And in the Kelvin timeline, Dr. McCoy mentions Andorian shingles.
Andorians are one of my favorites
Andorian's are my favorite Trek species too. Thanks for this.
In both The Trouble with Tribbles and the Animated Series they mentioned they are a "Warrior Race" if I'm remembering correctly I know Spock said as much in yesteryear so that's a bit of cultural background pre-Enterprise
I believe you are right. They didn't seem to be the most peaceful people on "Enterprise."
@@MasterHiramAbiff They are indeed very beligerant. Their conflicts with both the Vulcans and the Terllarites tells us that. Also, Soval literally described the Andorians as an aggressive species. Lieutenant Malcom Reed also described them as militaristic, based on the information he found on the Vulcan database. Andorian Ambassador Shras (TOS) himself described his race as passionate and violent. In TAS (which is also considered canonic), in the episode where an Andorian named Thelin was the science officer serving aboard the Enterprise in an alternate timeline, Andorians are literally described as a warrior species. Plus, the Andorian death duel called Ushaan is exactly the kind of tradition you would expect to find in a warlike culture. I remember the Vulcans also have a similar tradition, but for the purpose of marriage (not vengeance, which is the main purpose of the Ushaan), even though they are not a warrior race anymore (but they were during a big part of their history).
Andorians are my favorite Star trek race⁉✴😎🌟
I really enjoyed that and totally agree that Andorians have been sadly neglected in the Trek universe. They are such a cool race and I really enjoyed their story arc in Enterprise.
Say what you want but i LOVED ent.
I really dig this series. So many races, so little time. LOL. (Ferengi, Bajorans, Cardassians, Romulans, The Dominion [Jem 'Hadar Vorta, and Founders] Trill, the list just keeps growing.) Looking forward to more.
Most of the aliens in "Bebal" never to be seen or heard of again.
Enterprise did good job with the andorians, telerites, and the vulcans in the series.
Your video is brilliant thanks.

Glad you enjoyed :)
I have admired Star Trek since the very beginning. I agree that the Andorians appear to be a very passionate race. The one who spoke to Spock in 1967, in “Journey to Babel” talked about strong emotion could lead someone to murder somebody else.
I love the Andorians. You do great videos. I'm watching the whole species series. I subscribed and "liked' all the videos.
P!EASE do a Betazoid video!
I always had a soft spot for the Andorians. I went to my only Star Trek-themed party several years ago as an Andorian because I thought they were so cool yet virtually never highlighted in ST shows at that time. I used to have a theory that their name was simply a combination of “And” and “or,” either as a joke or to somehow express their psychological makeup.
What a great video. :) I was thinking about the Aenar as you said, they might be the reason for the grey skin from TAS! Interesting theory and definitely want to see an explanation on that later whenever you make one. :)
Haha, you should spend less time with Bob "Pink Skin" ...he's contaminating you, lol! :) _\\//
_TREKKERPRISE_
Glad you enjoyed :)
Yeah Bob is always getting on my nerves !
My favourite race in Star Trek
Awesome job I totally enjoyed this video, keep up the great work! 🖖💯
_Jacen Starhunter_
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed.
why do we only get human Captains(the main CPTs) never an alien...
And not only that, but nearly always a Captain from the U.S. (even when the actor is from England!)
@@lizzychrome7630 USA! USA! USA!
@@jayallen81 The next show's theme song should just be "America F*ck Yeah!" from "Team America."
@@lizzychrome7630
Picard was from France. The simple answer is that Star Trek was created for primarily an
American audience and the producers felt that having a non-American lead actor (since
the Captain was typically the protagonist of the series) would turn off US viewers.
It is true that Picard, while French, spoke with a British accent (Due to Patrick Stewart being
a Brit) but the producers felt the average American wouldn't know the difference beyond the
fact the Captain was speaking with a non-US delict. Besides, TNG did have the very American
Will Riker as Number One to reassure American fans who may have had issues with a non
American Captain.
@@TheLAGopher For a *science* fiction show, that's a very low level of intelligence they're expecting from their viewers, if that's true.
The Andorian Spec Ops Operator that boarded the bridge of the Disco, upon their return from the mirror universe, apparently commanding the strike team accompanying Sarek & The Admiral. “WE ask the questions!”
was his line, preceding “The bridge is secure, Admiral”.
I think that Andorian was Rear Admiral Shukar, but I'm not sure.
Is there one on Deltans? I liked Ilia.
Alpha and Beta Cannon has extensive information on the Andorian history, physiology, psychology, and much more. There is even an entire dictionary of the language and useful phrases and cultural references.
A few of those sources (like the Last Unicorn STRPG material) actually became canon on ENT. Culture, psychology, language, history, arctic homeworld, ushaan duels with icepick-axes, etc.
Other sources introduced "interesting" notions (like marriages between four Andorian genders being such complex arrangements that the entire species was doomed to extinction) which were wisely discarded in ENT.
I really hope you can make videos For The Tellarites, The Orions and The Gorn Alien Species someday please?
_Jacen Starhunter_
I will :)
TREK on the TUBE: Excellent thank you! :)
Shran is one of my favorite Enterprise characters.
Is there any audiobook on the andorians? I've been searching all day without any lyck. . If not, somebody should write one! NOW. ❤ 🇸🇪
Andorians are my fav
Passionate, militaristic, honor code with duels to the death...how many star trek klingons do we need? Cardassians, Nossigans, Breen, Andorians, they're all the same thing.
I always wondered why the Andorians didn't participate in the Dominion War or even make an appearance on DS9.
_George Moore_
The way I explain it is they did. They were on board the many other _Starfleet_ vessels we saw on screen. We just didn't see the crews of those ships.
Yeah, Andorians have the Imperial Guard circa 2370 (as a token force) but they have crew on SF ships. Might be like the DS9 Episode with the Vulcan crewed ship who played baseball. Ships with one crew for efficiency but all under one flag.
st: Titan has Andorians, not canon tho. With less special effects limitations we might see more Blue Skins
I agree with 'TREK on the TUBE' when he says that Andorians did participate in the Dominion War serving aboard Starfleet vessels. But I think you actually asked why the *Andorian Empire* didn't participate in the war... Although it wasn't mentioned on DS9, I guess they did. It is really hard to imagine that a warrior like theirs didn't participate in the war. Specially because their system was also threatened, like virtually all other systems of the alpha quadrant, and even some of the beta quadrant (like the Romulan and the Klingon systems).
Andorians are my favorite federation race, next to betazoids, perhaps. Nice vid as usual!
_Rafael Verolla_
Mine too :) I just love those Blue Skins ! Glad you enjoyed.
I don't think they leave their space sector, they are not Vulcons, in every show, they throw pointy ears on a few people, Putting them EVERYWhERE! But Andorians, enterprise is 100 years before Kirk, 100 years after the united Federation started, without real enemies, why would they need to leave? Kirk was on a five year mission in deep space. But thank you for this Video, it is the best one i have seen, for this Race! Maybe they became Monks?
My favourite race are the Andorians
but the Aenar were all blind
Please do ferangi
There are 4 races of Andorians I love your video
In non-canon Star Trek, yes, I remember reading about 4 Andorian races... In canon, however, there are only 2: The blue-skinned people referred to just as Andorians, and the Aenar.
@@atanvardo5730 no you're wrong I have the picture of all of them you remember the Enterprise A Admiral Kirk was making his speech to the crew there was An Andorian there well that's one race of Andorians Enterprise Andorians are another race of Andorians the TOS andorians are another race of andorians and then you got the white-skinned Anear so basically you have three races of Andorians if you count Disco Andorians there the same as Enterprise Andorians plus the subspecies so you're totally wrong on that
@@ReneeUnrated I'm sorry, buddy, but you are *badly* misinformed... There are are no TOS race, Enterprise race, etc. They are all the same race of Andorians (except for the Aenar, of couse). Those other races are featured only on Star Trek novelizations, games and comics, which are not canonic, and those races weren't even mentioned on canon Star Trek (our cup of tea), which mean the 7 tv shows, the movies (except for the J.J. Abrahms movies) and the animated series. The physical differences among the blue-skinned Andorians as portrayed on each show (like the position of their Antennae or the shade of their skin, for example) are due simply to changes in the look of the species from one show to another, and *not* to the existance of different races. The Andorians, as a whole species, were just _revisited_ . One member of the "Enterprise" production team even said in an enterwiew: "I couldn't believe we were going to revisit those" (referring to the Andorians). Get your facts, dude. The only way you can convince me is to point out an episode from a tv show or a scene from a movie where 4 different races of Andorians are said to exist. And since there is no such episode or scene, you don't need to waste your time looking for it.
@@atanvardo5730 do your research pal I looked up everything about them so basically I know what I'm talkin about you know how there's different race of human beings on Earth Light Chinese Russia it's just like with the andorians if you want I can search through my research and give you this information and I have the picture of it too when I looked them up I found that picture and I found the information stating it too so I have not mistaken or misinformed and I got several people that is in a group on Facebook all about andorians and they say the same thing I'm saying
@@ReneeUnrated it's obvious that you don't have the slightest idea of what you are saying, man. Just take a look at Andorians section on Star Trek Memory Alpha and then on Memory Beta, and you will learn something. What occurred to Andorians also occurred to Klingons. We see Klingons in TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise look different from the Klingons in the original Star Trek because they were redesigned, not because TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise feature are different species of Klingons from that of the original series (although inside the universe of Star Trek it was provided an explanation for this difference in appearance, but this explanation _does not_ include different Klingon species). And, for Discovery, they were redesigned a second time. Andorians were also redesigned for Enterprise, and again for Discovery. And just to be clear, I'm speaking of _canon_ Star Trek. Non-canon Star Trek is another issue... You are speaking of non-canon Star Trek, although you are maybe not aware of this.
"My people are a violent race" says the ambassador who's wearing a stylized leather-and-chainmail jerkin.
"Tell the pinkskin we're not even any more. He owes me!" says the proud captain of the Imperial Guard.
And you seriously think these shows "showed us nothing and told us nothing" about Andorians and their culture?
Is you outro a midi sent through GXSCC?
_Automatik_
I got no clue man! Drop by Gary's channel *Trekkerprise* is you've got any questions, he's the one that made it :)
I see. Just thought about that, since I used GXSCC a lot in the past and it sounds a lot like it. Also, great video btw!
_Automatik_
No problem. Thanks a lot :)
use Mantis ,she looks similar
Please do betazoids!
_Anna Peterson_
Coming soon!
Long live Darth Vader!
