T’Pol's Interaction With Humans.
The Vulcans are a species that has fascinated fans for over 50
years. Spock, Tuvok, Sarek, Saavik, and more have captivated our
imaginations and provided us a way to look at our own humanity
through an alien filter. Star Trek: Enterprise took this group of
aliens and changed their portrayal, telling a whole new chapter in
their history. With T’Pol being the first Vulcan to serve long term
on a Starfleet vessel, we ask the question of how she reacted to
serving with humans, and weather or not her attitude changed over
the run of the show.
In this episode of Warp Five, Patrick Devlin and Brandon-Shea
Mutala are joined by Karen Chuplis to discuss T’Pol and her
relationship with humans during the run of Enterprise. We also
discuss how important her family is to the Star Trek universe as a
whole, her relationship with Archer and Trip, and instances outside
of her comfort zone.
