Who do you think portrayed a Vulcan the best out of the Star Trek series?

I vote for T'Pol (Season 1 & 2 though)

T'pol was the worst since she had emotional issues(like being an addict).


i vote for Spock even though he was only half Vulcan(ehich is weird considdering what they said in ENT).

I probably like T'Pol the most, however, seeing how she turned out in seasons 3 and 4, I am going to have to go with Tuvok.

Okay im going to change the poll. If you choose T'Pol please choose wether you mean in season 1 & 2 or in season 3 & 4 as she was almost a complete different caracter in the later seasons.

Spock! Spock was the original Vulcan. Spock is what all actors aspire to compare to because of him if they play a Vulcan.

Nimoy/Spock...the original and the best. Why? Because he was so subtle in the way he portrayed the emotional turmoil that Spock battled between the human and Vulcan parts of his makeup. Nimoy played Spock so well that I think that, in the end, part of the character consumed his normal personality.

i voted for t'pol seasons 1 and 2 before she goes all emotional. Vulcans don't feel feeliongs the same way humans do and tuvok feels in some episodes and spock is half human so he feels and t'pol feels in seasons 3 and 4 so that leaves t'pol in seasons 1 and 2

Yes...I agree. Spock's version was probably better portrayed and T'pol was better in E, season 1 and 2 because she tried to protray "Spockness". Later I suppose the writers wanted to "soften" her for the male audience...very wrong in terms of Trek mythology, in my opinion.

While I admit that Spock was the first, I'd say a toss up between him and Tuvok.
T'pol(Yes...I actually watched a few enterprise episodes...and hated them all.) was WAY to emotional ALL the bloody time.
I voted Tuvok, though, because he was the bestest ^_^

Yeah, Tuvok was okay..he really did maintain composure but there were times when he let his face show just a little too much emotion for someone who was meant to be 100% Vulcan, in my opinion. BTW, the last season of E got a lot better, especially the finale.

Since Sarek isn't there, the coolest full Vulcan ever, I'll vote Spock.

You have to go with the first of 'em. There's no choice. Resistance is futile.
Leonard Nimoy is the best Vulcan portrayer ever. Spock is the best Vulcan. Spock is the answer.

Spock was pretty cool, and almost every person that played a Vulcan said they studied spock for thier role

I liked all versions of T'Pol as a character, but as a vulcan she was far from perfect. I'll have to say Tuvok, as Spok is only half vulcan

And being only half Vulcan, he was the best. Oh, the irony,

well i think that t'pol did'nt show any emotions in seasons 1-2 and thats the vulcans hm "trademark" they don't feel as much as any other race so thats why i think that she is the best but if we vote for our favourite vulcan then it's spock

Its not like there was already a potrayal of a Vulcan before Spock though.

The actor playing Spock paved the way for Vulcan Characteristics. No other vulcan could do better then spock since there where no Vulcans before him, every vulcan created is based from his character(and from the idea of whoever thought the Vulcan species up).

T-pol all the way in all the seasons. I don't care too much for Tuvok or Spock.

Spock b/c he was the ORIGINAL portrayal of the Vulcans...He set the trend for them therefore he IS Vulcan...Tuvok is next in my vote though...but DEFINITELY Spock...

And T'Pol...just sucked...not very Vulcan at all.
