Decanonization Time!

They can't imagine someone having the opportunity, will, ability, or desire to rule them.

 

[Rebel Scum]

So Vulcan hasn't been conquered, okay. But Vulcan is at that point a long-standing member of an interstellar Federation of planets with some worlds that have, at some time, been conquered. Vulcans are not stupid. Vulcans cannot conceive of a conqueror? Just because they personally have not been conquered means that they don't even understand the concept?

Seems odd to me.

Star Trek is riddled with inconsistencies.

They can't imagine someone having the opportunity, will, ability, or desire to rule them.

I wonder if that is due to their history or simply due to the noted Vulcan arrogance.

KIRK: What was it you sensed?
SPOCK: The touch of death.

Vulcan long rage telepathy isnt something that's been brought up again. They're only presented as touch telepaths or recepticles for other telepaths.

I wonder if this exchange inspired the Kelpien sensing of death?

It's an explicitly discussed plot point in TMP, by both the Kolinahr master and Spock himself in the lounge with Kirk and McCoy.

Shows how long it's been since I've seen that one.

Ouch!

The absolute best Trek movie there is.

Sorry, just thinking about it made me nod off.

 

[CampBOO!]

But are they Vulcans or Vulcanians? And what about The Vulcanian Expedition?!? What’s that?!?



Sorry, a little late to the party.

 

[Rose Harper]

Vulcan's best Funk band.

Vulcan's best Funk band.

I thought that was Grand Funk Surak.

Didn't Spock try to telepathically mess with one of the Kelvans in By Any Other Name without touching them? And while it didn't work as intended, he still made contact without touching them, and described how alien their mind felt.

By again I meant post TOS

There's also Sarek and Michael in DSC.

Something like they melded when she was little to save her life.

Good point I forgot about that meditation scene too. I ammend my point to Vulcan long range telepathy being seldom mentioned and them most often just being touch telepaths

 

[Turtletrekker]

Trip and T'Pol were able to communicate long distance and Spock was able to get surface impressions from the Horta without touching it.

 

[XCV330]

Interestingly each time long distance telepathy has been shown in Star Trek it's basically instantaneous and doesn't require relays unlike subspace communication. Seems like you could just put matched pairs of Klingons on each ship and their home starbase for emergency comms.
