[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 78422, member: 363"] I think you are partially correct. It has been mentioned in past episodes of Enterprise that Vulcans have a gland which actually suppresses emotion. While they didn't go into detail on how the Vulcans who were embracing emotion did it, one can assume that they bypass that organ in doing so, somehow, but it's physically and mentally dangerous to do so. I don't think T'Pol has shown an inordinate amount of emotion, espacially when compared to other Vulcans we've seen so far on Enterprise. Remember that captain of the ship that was shadowing Enterprise, who was invited to dinner? He seemed at different times disdainful, condescending, and angry. At least for a Vulcan. Also, consider that Enterprise is showing a side of Vulcans we've never seen on any Trek show - we have seen that they are capable of lying (the whole incident with the Andorians at the monastery, for example), and seen that they are rather intolerant and disdainful of other races and cultures, and seem to be carrying the "Vulcan burden" when it comes to relating to aliens, in the sense that they feel they know best in regards to their "inferiors," like humans. It's a wonder that humans and Vulcans ever got to the point of forming the Federation - which may be the point of the "temporal Cold War." Someone is sabotaging the already fragile relations between Vulcans and humans in order to keep the Federation from happening. Or so it seems to me. [/QUOTE]
