        Cue Founding Father Lionel Hutz:

        "Oh no. Those printers messed this all up.

        It’s supposed to be ‘Land of the fee, home of the slave.’

        Better remove this Bar Logo."

      I love how also they had warp for a significant amount of years before humans but didnt see half the stuff Archer saw on his first mission.

      It shows how conservative they were with the technology (probably because Romulan wartime policy affected exploration)

      Reminds me of these

        There’s a reason humans are an important part of the federation, and it’s not because they are the smartest. They are the crazy fuckers who do whatever insane thing comes to mind just to see what will happen.

        For those that haven’t seen it: The United Federation of Hold My Beer

          It doesn’t matter that I’ve read this a hundred times, it still makes me smile and giggle every time it’s posted.

        Despite all the talk about logic and discovery, Vulcans (at least when well written) are mostly motivated by fear. Even their strong adherence to logic is motivated by what they perceive as their violent nature because of their past.

        I think that starting to move past that is why T’rina is less “robotic” than TOS and TNG era Vulcans, and why she’s actually more logical than most Vulcans we saw.
