But anyway, maybe Tom Riker escaped/was let go at the end of the war and founded Eddington's Raiders as the successor to the Maquis. He might be dead by now or an old man pulling the strings from some hidden base.

I actually LIKED the plot of Nemesis. It's wonderful to see the Romulans as something other than villains. I liked how it reminded the viewers that while Romulans aren't necessarily nice, they aren't blood thirsty barbarians.

Which of course means that it's prime real-estate for foundry Authors.
