I KNOW shes not a vulcan =)
As i said before.. I (me,my opinion),
would like it more if the writers had made the character in more control of her feelings.
And of course you are completely entitled to your opinion!
But, with all respect to yours, mine is that her
inability to control her emotions,
despite being raised with the (unfair) expectation that she
should be able to, is an important central element of her character, right from "The Vulcan Hello" where she is
trying to use her Vulcan-imbued logic to come up with a solution just as her brother would, but this is clouded and subverted by her feelings about the Klingons, stemming from the childhood trauma she suffered at their hands. She's damaged goods, emotionally speaking, and in spite of his efforts to help her, Sarek inadvertently
compounded her issues. In trying earnestly to make her better, he made her worse.
Repression and denial are
not an answer. That is not what leads to true
control. She needs to
allow herself to
confront,
accept, and ultimately
embrace her conflicted emotions. It's unnatural and harmful, certainly for a human, to do otherwise. She needs to understand and not be an inexperienced stranger to them. Her bond with Georgiou was helping her to make some modest progress toward that, cracking her shell a little, but then she was set back by her triggering encounter with the Torch-bearer and by Georgiou's death that followed from it. She's not in a struggle to be
free of her emotions. She's in a struggle to be
at peace with them. And when you really think about it, that was Spock's
true struggle as well, and indeed all Vulcans. So in that way, she's actually much
more Vulcan than you suggest...in
my opinion.
