I have found reading the post here very amusing for more reasons than I can get into.
Let me say however most of you have it wrong, Remember one thing Vulcan’s have a very Victorian attitude towards sex we only know of the 7 year mating bit from TOS it’s Movies, TNG, DS9 and VOY not to mention the Vulcan way of being. You all seem to forget in these your “Pure Trek” Shows there have always been reference to or shown examples of Vulcan’s who don’t fallow the “Logical Path” in fact as stated in early shows and Movies there are those who out right reject or don’t Fully comply with it don’t forget Vulcan’s don’t Lack emotion or don’t know what it is to feel they Repress Emotion and put logic to there feeling where emotion plays no part.

However, if you don’t agree with this Remember Vulcan’s have Married other Species and Mated with them and most if not all of them don’t wait 7 years to get down and dirty with there loved ones!

As for the way the show is presented I will admit there are Elements that are not true to form but hardly worthy of the “Destruction of Trek as we Know it” Title you are branding it with, You all are forgetting one major fact this show in it’s time line is the before before Picture of the Trek that is to Come Hell if things weren’t Different I’d be really Pissed at the Show, It’s all about growing each generation will always have things in common but will also be different than from the one before it right, Maybe not so much different than the one that came before but certainly the further you go back the greater most of those differences become.

And for those of you who have a Problem with the Trip/T'Pol Paring let me remind you of one thing “It’s a Captains World in Trek” aside from the finale hours of DS9 what captain in Trek has ever been or Close to one significant other The captains are always Single to get the Girl or Guy in one case. Or you could just stop watching Buy the DVD’s of the other shows and live with just that

But then why was Connor quoted as saying what he said if this was the way it was to be? Why would he say "...and Jolene has the tough job in terms of how to rationalize that with the character traits that are Vulcan." ? Why would this be a "tough job"? If Vulcans are re-imagined for this show, it shouldn't be an issue at all and should actually be rather easy to play. No "rationalization" needed. They can just go on and coreograph whatever scene they intend on doing and what the species is supposed to be like is irrelevant, because the Vulcan species in ENT is obviously not the same as the Vulcan species in other Treks, so you just do whatever you want! The sky's the limit!

My whole issue with how this is playing out is because it started off on a good track back starting with "Broken Bow I & II", through "Strange New World", finally building to a nice crescendo in "Breaking the Ice". Then it was unceremonially dropped. And TPTB had other plans that took this character hither and yon.

And so now here we are and as far as I'm concerned this time around, it is artificially generated. And IMHO, the "Sleepless in Seattle" magic is gone.

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
