Explaination of the Vulcan story arc in Enterprise: The Vulcans in the TOS were epitomized by Spock, or so Spock himself thought. Very lightly it was touched on that Vulcans could be quite conniving and self-serving. Spock wanted to be a "perfect" specimen. The movies brought forth the whole idea that Spock missed the point of life and that logic wasn't enough. The 'Enterprise' Vulcans are much more realistic in that their culture is showing strain from the imposition of raw logic, which always fails. T'Pol's way of looking at the world is changing, hesitatingly, and her contept for the hypocracy of the Vulcan "ideal" is growing.

For me as a viewer, I think it's kind of fun to see the Vulcans taken down a notch or two. To me, this is where the real seeds of Vulcan respect grow for the humans.

Okay, that's Vulcan behavior, and I can be talked in what you say, but riddle me this: the TOS Vulcans were much stronger than humans. Which episode was it where Kirk punched Spock a few times, and Spock backhanded Kirk and flipped him through the air? (Amok Time, methinks). It was pretty well established that Vulcans were all like that.

Fast forward to "Enterprise." The episode where the Vulcans were hiding a spy center in some Vulcan temple, and the Andorians got all peeved. Anyways, at the end Archer k.o.'d a Vulcan with one punch.

I know, I'm nitpicking, but continuity is half the fun!
