Tuvok! Tuvock Tuvock!
Shut the hell up about logic 'Tuvock'. In Voys defense, the problem Tuvok had was something that started in TNG; aliens are 100 percent one guiding principle, and always inferior to humans. Nothing ever changes with Tuvok, he might as well have been a machine. Spock and early Vulcans worked because of a different perception of what was 'the right thing to do', but they werent just bland robots, they usually only become fiercely logical when they needed to be.
This problem was heavily exacerbated by a fundamental VOY trend: Janeway, or the humans will always be right. Whenever the humans make a dificult moral decision, it always turns out, however improbably, that the Janeway or human approach is right. The best example being when they leave Janeway and Chakotay on that planet because they have a disease (?Resolutions?). They tell the crew not to contact the medically advanced but very aggressive Vidions, Tuvok takes command and follows the order both because it was an order and because it was obvious the Vidions would attack and harvest them. Harry and the others badger him about it, they give in, happen to find a ship with the one Vidion who owes them a favour, and its all ok. It would have been far more interesting if they had gotten a significant number of people killed doing the stupid Vidion idea, it would have put a decent twist on things, some struggles for the characters in light off what they lost compared to what they gained,cold logic is something to stick to in these conditions. But no, cos humanity rules! Doing the right thing always means getting a sunshine out come! They never used Tuvok like this.
'A most logical suggestion'
'That plan defies logic'
Does this guy have anymore personality than a dam replicator? I mean what did they write on the casting call? 'Tuvok: Vulcan (Black)'? Is there anything else about this character they could possibly have written?
If a character has only one characteristic, and it is very very rarely used. BOOT OFF SHOW!
