Romulan Noodles

Romulan Noodles, as they are properly called, are the victim of a flubbed merchandizing effort of Gene Roddenberry in his original Star Trek series.

In episode 59, “The Enterprise Incident” Captain Kirk fakes his own death, and teleports onboard a Romulan Warbird do a little imperial espionage. In the process of getting his hands on the top-secret Romulan cloaking device, he is forced into an awkward scene where he needs to consume ethnic food or blow his cover. He immediately falls in love with a particular dish called Romulan noodles.

“Oh My . . . It tastes . . . just like chicken! . . . like . . . Iowa fried . . . chicken!”

The Star Trek Franchise was poised for immediately release of “Romulan Noodles” into the marketplace following the first showing of the episode. Unfortunately, do to a miscommunication with production, the work “Romulan” was horribly misspelled. The mistake discovered all to late. The scene was awkwardly cut from the episode.

Even with the misprint, “Ramen noodles" was an instant success with college-age bachelors. Marketing resisted any suggestions to re-brand the noodle.

Of course, hardcore fans will want to know how modern-day sales of Romulan Noodles fit into the Star Trek universe. In the original long-term scope of the series, that question was to be answered in the fourth movie “The Voyage Home.” There Kirk snuck a pack of Romulan noodles back to the 20th century for easy snacking. Once in San Francisco, he fell in love with, (and of course gets his shirt torn by) a fun-loving transvestite named Maggi Mee. (S)he reverse engineers the noodles and makes a fortune.

Logically, after the misprinted packages were released, this subplot idea was also scrapped.

His lips parted ever so slightly, and she heard a soft sigh of breath expel. Ill assume by your current state that the compulsion to rut overtook you as well? She couldnt stop staring. He raised one eyebrow. The one she wanted to lash at was herself. Just because theyd agreed didnt mean she didnt feel the urge. She shook her head. Gala teased, tossing a floor pillow at him. Maybe she should run and change. Eyrhaen took a deep breath, chiding herself not to be weak. She couldnt do this anymore. Scowling, she tried to twist away from Lanthan, failing again. She found her own breath finally, staring up at him. They didnt seem to mind. When hed had his fill and shed somewhat subsided, he rose to his knees. Delight sparked in his eyes when she drew up to her knees. Now that he was here, she was unsure how to begin. Irin had been beside herself with the news. His chuckle burst a bubble of dread in her chest. A lifetime isnt enough to tell you how I feel about you.

Even if she was a disappointment—no, a torture—to them, they remained a comfort for her. Hyles hand came up to brace on his shoulder, encouraging him to look up again. Shes already denied me. Brevin stood, another cloth in hand. She wanted to lash out at Nialdlye, but that was wrong.
