Kristie Alley work near continually following ST-TWOK, Curtis just about dissappered. Alley was a better actress, and the better vulcan.

I agree Kirstie Alley was the better actress and Robin Curtis looked better as a Vulcan-Romulan. Just glad they hadn't come up with the silly v-shaped forehead the later Romulans sported!

I'm also glad they cast Tim Russ as Tuvok, and I'd speculate he was from the equatorial region of Vulcan. As I recall, they did cast a Southeast Asian as a Vulcan gong-ringer in TSFS.

BTW, in addition to Enterprise: The First Adventure's blonde Vulcan, there was a novel by Diane Duane, whose name escapes me, that had a scene showing the totally Vulcan crew of a Starfleet ship, where they described a few redheads among them, along with other types.

Youd think a planet with inhabitants of a massive sun that Vulcans would be a little darker or naturally more tan.

Or course alien physiology would not necessarily work like that of humans. For the inhabitants of other planets, being exposed to sunlight might lighten one's skin, or have no effect at all.

True. But STAR TREK III and VOYAGER showed that there are Asiatic and African-looking Vulcans with darker skin tones and even in "The Pegasus(TNG)" we saw a black-skinned Romulan, proving that even on Romulus there are different ethnicities.
