im not a big vulcan fan either. I actually think T'pol is the most bearable... I like how the relationship between her and Archer and the rest of the crew develops... On the other hand, i cant stand Tuvok.. and is it just me, or does it seem like every idea that Tuvok came up with got shot down instantly by EVERYONE instantly?

Maybe they hate Vulcans as much as we do.
This thread is weird. I thought everyone liked Vulcans apart from me.

I hate them too 
Reason I liked Enterprise so much. Their 'evilier' take on the Vulcans was a lot better and more realistic.

They were quite petty and condescending to humanity at the time. And that arrogance carried through all the series. Remember Solok from Take me out to the Holosuite?Monroe wrote:I hate them too

It's a filler eipsode, but funny and cool as all hell. Solok does come across as a jerk.Monroe wrote:No >.>

I'm going to go ahead and go against the grain with this one....I like Vulcans. They're not my favorite species (Cardassians!), but as Star Trek species go, they're pretty good.
Not to mention the psycho Vulcan serial-killer from "Field of Fire"...Remember Solok from Take me out to the Holosuite?

That was a great exploration of an established archetype.

He hates happy people... I just find that funny for a reason.

But wouldn't that make him happy when there are no happy people left, thus making him hate himself? Paradox!Teaos wrote:He hates happy people... I just find that funny for a reason.

Ever noticed for those who are familiar with it, that Vulcans tend to behave very much along the lines of asperger syndrome? pedantic language, a seeming lack or difficult displaying emotions, certain 'strange' ways of decision-making, average to above-average intelligence, 'strange questions' as a reaction to normal things ('Were we having a good time?' one of the TMP movies, by Spock) and some other thingies?

The "Vulcan Way" almost seems to me a complete flattening of affect, with an almost psychopathic touch - not psychopathic in the popular movies sense, but in the technical sense: able to determine "right" and "wrong," but unable to care or base decisions on that determination.

Wasn't it because they were illogical or something like that? *Shrugs* It wasn't logical?Teaos wrote:He hates happy people... I just find that funny for a reason.
You know, like their mating rituals...

Yeah, I can't think of anything more illogical than that.
Hmm, except maybe for the Ocampans. Now that was just stupid writing.
