Vulcans and Romulans

[April]

O.K. Romulans are Vulcans that just decided to want to have emotion,and left Vulcan and created their own little empire.
-Anyway-

Since Vulcans and Romulans are related do they go through the Pon Farr like Vulcans?

I was always curious about this. For a Vulcan the Pon Farr is the only time they experience emotion. However the Romulans always experience emotions...So...
What do yall think?

[TheHunter]

The mental abiities of Vulcans were and are biological right? well i'm guessing since the Romulans went off and in doing so lost there abilitie to use there mental powers, a biological effect...which may of disabled there pon farr.

I think they may still have mental powers just not as strong as the Vulcans.

[TheHunter]

No they don't, they walked away from that 'path' a long time ago. However if a Romulan was to study and meditate they may retain some mental prowess.

[Ensign Alyeska]

We've never heard of a Romulan going through pon farr, so I think they don't undergo pon farr, whether it be because they don't have the same mental abilities as Vulcans, like TheHunter said, or it may be because of an entirely different reason.

[April]

What about the Romulans that wanted to go back and practice the Vulcan ways except stay on Romulas?

[Ensign Alyeska]

Maybe after several generations they'll be almost identical to Vulcans.

That happened in a TNG episode...sort of.
