[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 722482, member: 10479"] One of the best [i]Enterprise[/i] episodes, IMO. I have a feeling that they will use it for one of their sub-arcs, revisiting the issue when they start to introduce more Vulcans (and perhaps the planet Vulcan) to the series. I'm guessing that the one way that they can keep the old guard fans happy and still use that issue is to reveal that while there is this stigma it is that way because of a ruling minority. Wouldn't it be a nice twist if there were literally only a few Vulcans who couldn't do it, they are in charge, and they've perpetuated such a "feeling of guilt" that the majority of Vulcans simply can't bring themselves to admit they can meld? They'd also have to admit to feeling guilty all these years if they did, wouldn't they? It'd explain how these long lived Vulcans can go from a society that abhors melding to one that uses it fairly openly and frequently in such a short time span. (I like that idea so much I'm going to ask people to take note that I have suggested it will come to pass in the series at some point. ;) ) Yup. That's number one on my list and also explaining how we are building up to forming a federation as we meet each of them. Are we talking about the whole planet/genetic seeding idea? The reason we are only a few steps removed from so many other humanoid races? Or do you mean to say that we should be finding full-blooded actual humans out there some where? Bring on the Gorn! :D We certainly have the technology to create all sorts of alien races now with little to no effort. I wouldn't mind them taking a few of the odd ball ones from the cartoon show (where anything goes...or went) and tinkering with them in a live action way. :) [/QUOTE]
