I do miss Tuvok
Where's [insert character or ship name here]?
- Thread starter Lorcan Kelly
- Start date
Assuming he recovered from whatever would have affected him in the Endgame timeline
Bad writing? 
Isn't he like 150 years old (at least)?
I'm not sure. He already served under Sulu!
We happen to know the EXACT age of Tuvok. He was 29 when he served with Sulu and that was 80 years before the Flashback episode aka Season 3 Episode 4 and that makes him 141 in Picard's time. We know that alternate T'poL lived to be 185 so that means he still has a few decades before him.
It was pretty much implied that if they got back in a certain time (i.e. prior to Admiral Janeway's later return in her timeline) then Tuvok could be cured on Vulcan. I think he had to have mind meld with a blood relative.
It's an assumption but I think it is a reasonable one.
Most every Star Trek has their magical alien and/or future tech cure-all.
TOS: Vulcan stuff
TNG: Data
VOY: Borg tech (and a little Vulcan stuff)
DS9: Too good a show for that crap
Yeah, so I was close. He's old. Granted, Sarek lived to slightly over 200 and I think Spock was close or at 200, as well.
Occasionally the Prophets.
OK I was totally singing the mindmeld part by the end of that.
Odo's shape-shifting abilities weren't used as a convenient deus ex machina to easily fix problems the way those other elements were.
So, no. And you missed the point.
Odo's shape-shifting nature has been an inconvenience to, many a time. He got a fatal disease, twice. He was tortured by a device that prevented him from changing shape. I'd say you're right, he rarely if ever sprang his abilities as an extraordinary way to save the day.
My head canon is that Seven met Bjayzl one day while she was vivisecting Ensign Kim and they instantly fell in love.
