Don't you agree? I mean Vulcans are so cool. What do you think?

Yes, I agree that Vulcans are awesome and that more stories should be told about the Vulcan heritage, but half the fun is seeing how they "tolerate" illogical humans XD, so there should at least be one human crew member thrown in there.

All Vulcan crews are mentioned in Star Trek, notably there was an all Vulcan crew that played baseball vs. Sisko and the DS9 crew.

It sounds like a fun idea, but it probably wouldn't get on tv because the show would only have (unfortunatly) limited appeal.

Most people tend to relate to the human characters far more than the alien characters, and even though Spock is wildly popular, and entire crew full of Spock would probably get boring for all but hardcore trekkies.

That said, it would be a neat idea for a book series or a fan series, and I know there are play by e-mail games out there based on that very concept.

I think it wouldn't make a good show because the Vulcans would just be running going "I believe that to be illogical" and never get anything done because everything has to revolve around logic, or they would move as one monotanous being, always agreeing on everything, and the only action we would see would be them fulfilling the pon far. What a show! rofl

not if a few were V'tosh ka'tur ( Vulcans without logic. )

I think it would flop just because of this:

Mr. Worf, fire at will!
*crazy amounts of torpedoes and phasers*

Mr. Tuvok, fire at will!
*fires one torpedo*
No effect, Captain.

What may make for a good or great ship may make for lousy television.

I think a Vulcan science vessel is a GREAT idea.
I think a SHOW about a Vulcan science vessel would have limited appeal.

First of all, it would be "accessible" to a limited audience.
That is, Trekkies would dig it, but the average person would not.

Second of all, one of the things that makes for an interesting story is
CONFLICT. That's why one rule is that the hero ends up where he
DOESNT want to be. And entire crew of logical beings has little conflict-
and that only where they're not so logical. So you'd have to undermine
the premise after a while to make it interesting.

Vulcans are most interesting when they are SUPPORTING characters,
and throw the MAIN characters into sharp relief.
That's why individual Vulcans can be interesting, but lots of them are
only in the background-like playing that baseball game, or the like.


This is a little like how my idea for a ship works fine for a ship,
but if they tried to develop a series around a survey ship, you'd fall
asleep watching it.

I belive we should have a show with an all Vulcan crew, a nonvulcan and two members of the crew being V'tosh ka'tur could be a point of conflict.

I'll agree to that! Most likely a human as the non-vulcan member, I'd think, to make it interesting. The human ships have Vulcan science officers and what not, and in a show of good faith I think that officer exchanges would have happened a lot in the begining. A way for both sides to study the other, learn how to cooperate and become friends with their allies.

And with the added V'tosh ka'tur, it would show to the human crew member that Vulcans were essentially as varied as the human race, giving them a more comfortable setting and outlook. So far, I like this idea alot! Holly Wood Producers, take note! xd

I want to make it a fan series. hollywood would ruin it. I want to play the Capitan and make her anti-human.

Anyone wanna claim a part?

dunno if these people are still up and running, but there are some e-mail groups who think the same:
