Whose the best Vulcan?

[Shawnster]

Inspired by the conversation in the "Controversial Star Trek Opinions" topic in regards who played the best Spock, I thought we could expand the thought.

Who played or what is/was the best portrayal of a Vulcan? If you look up Vulcan (species) in the dictionary, whose picture is there?

 

[Jedi Marso]

Nimoy. And it's not even a contest.

Tuvok followed closely by Sarek then Spock.

Tuvok followed closely by Sarek then Spock.

This would be my choice as well, but honorable mention to T’Pol from seasons 3-4.

1. Tuvok.
2. Sarek.
3. T'Pol.

HM. Spock, who is half-Vulcan.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

Nimoy. And it's not even a contest.

Considering that Leonard Nimoy literally created the Vulcan persona as we know it, I don't think I could ever give anyone but his Spock pride of place in my rankings. But Tim Russ broke new ground, bringing depth and nuance to a properly restrained full Vulcan. Thanks to his subtle work, we could tell when Tuvok was angry, frustrated, worried, even happy. That nets him a solid second place.

Does that ever work?

Only if you're a mod or admin, and can actually close the thread.

What, jokes? Yes, on occasion.

Can a half Vulcan be the definitive Vulcan?

 

[fireproof78]

Spock 2.

 

[JonnyQuest037]

Can a half Vulcan be the definitive Vulcan?

Apparently so, since Spock identified as Vulcan and spent most of his life trying to be more Vulcan than Vulcan.

"Whose" is the possessive, as in "Whose phaser is this?"
You want "Who's," the contraction of "Who is."

 

[IMC Headquarters]

All of the above.

And this guy!

Captain Vanik.

"I only drink water."

I was in the graphics dept at a big aerospace firm. A coworker made a poster for a retiree with the huge heading "Look whose retiring" At least ten people pointed it out to our boss, the head of HR razzed our boss, our boss yelled at my coworker for embarrassing her, it was a whole thing. Not that I haven't misspelled simple things on posters or flyers that ended up on public view. It's why simple misspellings and wrong words grind my gears on the internet.

Years ago the company for which I worked was opening a new site. Press, local politicians, the whole deal.

Including a cake that said "GRAND OPENENING".

I was hesitant at first, but Tim Russ' Tuvok really hit all the marks for me. If not the best Vulcan, then right up near the top.

Wish we could have gotten more of Cmdr Sonak or seen David Gautreaux's Xon

Some grammatical errors are so common, they're virtually accepted. For instance, you often see something like "the officer's commbadges" whether there's one officer or more than one. With multiple people, if the last word is an S, the apostrophe goes on the end (officers' commbadges). If not (children's ice cream), it goes in the "usual" spot.
