I had to be reminded about it myself when I mentioned Bashir not ending up with anyone and got corrected. 29. TPol These humans are so useless, Im tpolling all the weight around here. Thanks everyone, Ill be here all night. A lot of people like TPol. Shes okay. Shes fine. I dont hate her. But of all characters on this list, she does the least with the amount of time given to her. Shes the second main character of Enterprise, shes the Spock to Archers Kirk, she gets an incredible amount of focus, more than all other non-Archer characters combined, and she uses it to be okay. Ive read that Jolene Blalock was a big fan of TOS and was super excited to play a Vulcan, how must she have felt about the first episode having her character strip down to her underwear and slathering gel all over herself? Ill give TPol this: she isnt just a generic Vulcan character like Tuvok, and she isnt a retread of Spock. Shes her own thing, and that contributes a lot to her placement on this list. Vulcan gets addicted to a drug that makes her emotional because its necessary for her job is a take we hadnt seen before. TPols journey as she slowly loses control of herself and learns more about humans is kind of interesting, but Im going to go ahead and say that it needed to happen before season 3 (the first two seasons of Enterprise are hard to get through). Enterprise has a problem with Vulcans, in that it turns them into kind of smug jackasses. There was technically precedent for this with the DS9 baseball Vulcan who hates Sisko, but that was one guy. Almost every Enterprise Vulcan acts in a way thats technically logical but obviously going to anger non-Vulcans and cause problems, and that includes TPol. In the first episode, theres a Vulcan who gets angry and yells at Admiral Whatever. This unfortunately extends into Discovery, where the non-Sarek Vulcans continue to behave illogically because the show wants to make a statement about racism and normal people wouldnt care about Tellarite Supremacists. Got off-topic there for a second, sorry. Point is, Enterprise has a serious problem with writing Vulcans, and that affects TPol. The difference is that TPol has a drug and psychic mind meld addiction, which mitigates it because at least she has an excuse after season 3, but thats the half of the show people care about. Remember the season 1 episode where they go to the human colony no ones visited in thirty years and its turned into a caveman planet? No one does. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 <cite>Anagram posted [p:933239086] in Eight Boar...
