… … Wat? Is this based on Star Trek fans despising NuTrek? Because that has to do with shit writing and shitting on continuity…

We poses the traits to become athletic. Does that mean that someone getting a part of a human makes them instantly athletic?

Yes, extensive training is required for either. Exactly. Thank you. You’ve just made my point.

Since it’s such an intimate affair, I wonder why they didn’t call it Pon Closs.

Pon Farr.

On the contrary; none of the episodes in all of Trek, up until your Voyager episode, states that a Vulcan’s logic and emotional suppression comes from biology. They do the opposite; Vulcans are biologically incredibly emotional and passionate. The Voyager episode doesn’t even go into detail what that biology is either.

It’s just a brain centre, like any other brain centre, that regulates emotion (humans have one too), and through training the Vulcans use to it suppress their emotions. Unless you explicitly choose to ignore all canon that comes before it.

Even within Voyager it is clear that a Vulcan achieves logic and emotional control through years of training, and that before logic and emotional control became part of Vulcan culture, Vulcans were passionate and violent. Do you deny this well established canon?

I provided direct references in OP. You decided to ignore them in favour of one selective moment in Voyager.

… you can’t be selective.

Speak for yourself.

Based on all of Star Trek. You can see the links above that Vulcans have been extremely passionate, emotional, and violent before their teachings of logic and emotional suppression.

Or you could just continue ignoring all that.

Did you know Humans also have brain centres that exist for logic and emotional regulation?

No, but it helps. They weren’t evolved to suppress emotions.

They very nearly did. Romulans found another way to build their society.

Enterprise explores Vulcans who have rejected the teachings of logic and emotional control, and one of them end up mentally raping T’Pol.

There have been mentioned a huge exodus, or multiple exoduses away from Vulcan, where those that rejected the philosophy of logic wanted to start anew somewhere. Romulus is the only succesful world as a result of that past.

In Strange New Worlds, Spock turns fully human for one episode. Somehow he struggles with human emotions, as if his biologically Vulcan side was responsible for keeping them at bay, and not years of discipline and training.

In Prodigy, the main character is a genetic amalgamation of alpha quadrant species. He undergoes a treatment to “unlock his genetic potential”, causing his various genetic elements to occasionally become dominant. When the Vulcan genes become dominant, the character is logical and emotionless.

Yes. Mister President. A very impressive collection. Oh, that’s your favourite one. Yes, very nice, Mister President. Oh would you look at the time; we should be back to negotiations now.

Inward sighing/cringing/screaming.

This guy is just so fucking cringe I’m getting third-hand embarrassment through my phone.

Yeah, had an English teacher here in KVUC who had a very fun personality. Lo and behold six months later she was expelled from the school for sexualky harassing several guys.

Turns out she tried with me as well, but my personality is such a plank that I shrugged her off several times without even realising.

The LEGO survived.

The foot didn’t.

What do the other two do better?

Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

Yes, but he also programmed Jarvis… So…

“Upgrading” to a supported operating system… “Upgrading”.

It fascinates me how far we’re progressing in medical science. Never expected to ever see news like cures for HIV, tumours, and diabetes in my lifetime.
