      What people don’t realize is that this was actually said very sarcastically. The problem is it’s so hard to read vulcans no one on Enterprise realized it at the time. For another example of this vulcan sass I give you T’Lyn whose emotional outbursts got her kicked off her vulcan vessel.

        You are not wrong. Not at all. I’m really looking forward to see what they do with T’Lyn in the new season. Especially considering the closest we’ve gotten to a Vulcan comic relief character is Tuvok.

        I have something I’ve been meaning to post which is a comedy bit pointing that out. That to Humans Spock comes off as super straight-laced and square but to Vulcans he’s too emotional and prone to outbursts.

        kicking her off the ship for emotional outbursts that… saved the ship. logic, huh? honestly i got the sense that she wasn’t really emotional even by vulcan standards, she was just smarter than everyone else on that ship. they berated her constantly for it until she finally gave a sarcastic reply so that they could give her the boot
