So how important is canon, then?

i posted spoken words from the episodes that support my position. do any of you have spoken words from any episode that support yours?


since she wrote legacy, you now have your definite borg origin story and should think it's canon ;)
Spoken words?
As opposed to? Written words?
 
If one watches “The Enterprise Incident”, it is clear that the Romulan Commander is hot for Spock’s Vulcan bone. I have a feeling that based on what she knows about Vulcans, that she wouldn’t be playing the sex card if they only had sex every seven years.
 
Again, I am quotingSpock. He mentioned salmon. Salmon like Vulcan returns "home" to reproduce. The ponn farr and Plak Tow are about reproduction. Spock wouldn't make the comparison if it wasn't accurate.
Everything on screen suggests they're extremely distant, don't cuddle, don't kiss, don't make compliments, so why would they have sex for fun?
They express affection in different ways

As for compliments
SPOCK: Logical. Flawlessly logical.
T'PRING: I am honoured.
Vulcans experience attraction (want).
. There was also Stonn, who wanted very much to be my consort, and I wanted him
Though I guess they might like each other for their minds :lol:
As for sex out side of the seven year cycle
TUCKER: Another day at least. I guess we should talk about what happened last night.
T'POL: I've been briefed on the situation.
TUCKER: Well, I was referring to what happened between us, in your quarters. I guess I'll go first. Actually, why don't you go first?
T'POL: I suppose I should thank you.
TUCKER: No need to thank me.
T'POL: For facilitating my exploration of human sexuality.
TUCKER: I'm not sure I follow.
T'POL: It's one of the many aspects of your species which I've been meaning to explore since I left the High Command

Speaking to the Vulcan female Sakonna, who assuredly wasn’t in Pon Farr when Quark made his remark.

in your own words: I'm not sure salmon do anything for recreation, including sex.

so your logic is that if they restrict their physical interactions to fingertips, don't hug and cuddle, and don't kiss, it logically follows that they do have sex?

don't you know about her trellium exposure and addiction?
 
I think this is whataboutery, @NCC-73515
You won’t see Vulcans engaging in coitus in TOS, at best we may get implied mating among humans.

Does Saavik count? She wasn’t in her cycle in ST:SFS
what is?

spock was, she had to help him. obviously. XD


I’ve never seen Spock take a shit, so it must mean Vulcans don’t poop.
since it was never stated that they don't, that's actual whataboutism right here, cause it's not connected to our discussion, which involved real quotes from the episodes (on one side) and from behind-the-scenes interviews (on the other).

and how did she react? why would you think quark wanting someone has anything to do with that someone wanting to have sex with him? XD

The absolute beauty of not giving two fucks about canon, you can go with what makes sense. But you should really rewatch those episodes.

sex is not mentioned in any of them. the primitive emotions due to time travel have been addressed already.

You’re showing how much you don’t give af, LOL

Don’t you have more timelines to create?
 
COMMANDER: You have nothing in Starfleet to which to return. I offer, we offer you an alternative. We will find a place for you, if you wish it.
SPOCK: A place?
COMMANDER: With me. Romulan women are not like Vulcan females. We are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. Our people are warriors. Often savage. But we are also many other pleasant things.
SPOCK: I was not aware of that aspect of Romulan society.
COMMANDER: As a Vulcan, you would study it. As a human you would find ways to appreciate it.
SPOCK: Please believe me. I do appreciate it.
COMMANDER: I am so glad. Now one final step to make the occasion complete. You will lead a small party of Romulans aboard the Enterprise, and there you will take your rightful place as its commander. And you will lead the ship to a Romulan port, with my flagship at its side.
SPOCK: Yes, of course, but not just this moment. An hour from now will do even better. Would it not, Commander?
COMMANDER: Yes. Yes, it will, Mister Spock. You do know I have a first name.
SPOCK: I was beginning to wonder.
COMMANDER: Well, I do. Would you like to hear it?
(She whispers in his ear.)
SPOCK: How rare, and how beautiful. But so incongruous when spoken by a soldier.
COMMANDER: If you will give me a moment, the soldier will transform herself into a woman.
(She leaves the room.)

I wonder what Spock and the Romulan Commander were going to be doing for that hour? :whistle:
