Or at least better than most Trek actors.

I second that - fine actress.
I'm too old for that noise.
Yup. Trek has had its share of mediocre talent over the decades.
^ This. T'Pring's scheme to have Spock fight Kirk, and she gets what she wants either way foreshadows the various Vulcan schemes in Enterprise and mistrust humans had for Vulcans. Vulcans aren't all like Spock and Sarek, although Soval eventually emerged to be close enough.
T'pol's emotions in later seasons were a combination of Trellium and Pa'nar syndrome, as well as the experience she had on Earth leaving the Vulcan habitat to explore that we saw through the forced mind-meld episode. She was a complex character and all the more interesting for it.
Meanwhile Spock certainly had his emotional moments, and not all of them could be written off as coming from his human side.
So about the ideal Vulcan where do y'all think Tuvok would fit in the spectrum?
The middle.
How so? Explain.
Her mother described her best, her emotions were always close to the surface plus there are rumours that T'Pol's father was going to be revealed as a Romulan in Season 5, not sure if this was true. I have no issue how she was portrayed in universe. Expecting all Vulcans to be exactly the same makes as much sense as expecting all humans to be the same in the show and we know McCoy, Uhura, Kirk etc had very different personalities and were still human.

I agree with that, about Tuvok. I don't think that all Vulcans should be exactly the same. Just like humans they are individuals. I just was wondering how Humans and Vulcans first got along when they first met. (I had read "Strangers From the Sky"by Margaret Wander Bonanno, a long time ago and wondered how that translated to the ST universe as we saw it on screen.)
Enterprise is the closest we get to that era. (Other than the scene in FC between Cochrane and the Vulcan) I've a feeling thing might have started out well,but deteriorated when the Vulcans just didn't turn over all of their technology, no questions asked.
So about Discovery and a crossover character have they got anybody to do it?
Would say Scott Bakula or Blalock or Phlox or whoever be willingly to show up for a scene.
Are they even planning that?

They haven't said. We can only hope and speculate.
I'd love to see someone from ENT make a cameo. My number one choice would be Phlox, but really it would be cool to see any of them again.
Archer would be dead or almost 150. T'Pol would be the ideal choice, she would outlive them all. Or better yet have her turn up, pushing the chair of her elderly, human husband 'Michael Kenmore'.

^ Better yet, have Connor Trinneer do a cameo...as Lee Kelso from WNMHGB.
He totally looks like the guy who played Kelso in TOS...

Even better: Bring back David Andrews as Lorian.Archer would be dead or almost 150. T'Pol would be the ideal choice, she would outlive them all. Or better yet have her turn up, pushing the chair of her elderly, human husband 'Michael Kenmore'.
Wanna hear some heads explode? Bring back Crewman Daniels (Matt Winston) and have a sub plot of tinkering with the timeline. 
Yes yes yes! Just to watch people's heads explode!Wanna hear some heads explode? Bring back Crewman Daniels (Matt Winston) and have a sub plot of tinkering with the timeline.
