and a Big ::SALUTE:: to T'Pau.



One of Vulcan's most revered leaders, the only person ever to turn down a seat on the Federation Council.

In the mid-22nd century (Earth calendar), T'Pau was a leader in the Syrrannite movement which helped to reform Vulcan society, by bringing forth the true teachings of Surak.

In 2267, T'Pau officiated over Spock's wedding ceremony that turned into a fiasco. She later saved Captain Kirk's career by telling Starfleet she requested his visit to Vulcan.

A Vulcan starship, T'Pau NSP-17938, was named for her. After its decommission in 2364 the T'Pau was used in a Romulan invasion plot.

In 2373 the U.S.S. Voyager's EMH created a holographic T'Pau as part of his personality-improvement project.

Particularly since the gal in the picture is named T'Pol, not T'Pau.

Berman admitted that the character of T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) was in fact going to be a much younger version of T'Pau as seen in the original "Star Trek" episode "Amok Time."

"It was discussed as a possibility, but it was also determined that there were legalities that made it difficult for us to do so, so we decided against it."

She's the only reason I started watching Enterprise. Who could have guessed that such a serious facial expression could be so attractive?
