OK I am really nervous about posting this but it's making me nuts. Does anyone realize that T'Pau of Enterprise is way too young? If you go to startrek.com you find out that she's Spock's "second-foremother" in English that means she's Skon's mother. OK Hello if Solkar was Earth's first ambassador, and Skon translated Surak into English why is T'Pau younger than T'Pol? This just kills me folks.
PS. Watch the documentery on Pon Farr and you'll find out about T'Pau.

Re: T'Pau
Well, I don't judge, but... tell me... why she have to be so
unlovable, as young or as old?

Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.
But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Re: T'Pau
When I saw "Amok Time" I was between 6-8 I can't remember exactly. But I used to call her the logical old bat lady. I don't think T'Pau is likable. But then again she isn't supposed to be. I'm just mad that B-B forgot to watch "Search for Spock" and screwed up again!

Re: T'Pau
I'm not sure it was actually stated anywhere in canon (i.e. live action scenes) that T'Pau was Spock's "second foremother". What I remember is that Kirk or Bones said that Spock's family must be quite important since the T'Pau was officiating at his wedding.
Maybe this "second foremother" thing is like the notion that Spock was the first Human/Vulcan hybrid - not correct but something many fans (apparently including whoever did that st.com thing) have come to believe.

Re: T'Pau
On the contrary, I got the exact impression that Spock wasn't the first Vulcan-Human Hybrid. Rather,at least initially, his presence on Enterprise had the meaning to show a future where the interconnection between the races was a matter of fact.

Re: T'Pau
But why would they put it on the "OFFICIAL SITE" if it wasn't true? That makes no sense. I mean if it was a fan-site I would've kept my big mouth shut. Or at least stopped my fingers from typing about it.

I think not infrequently Fans "follow their hearts". Maybe a little too much.

A lot of what is "official" makes no sense (see *the_abomination*). I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of things on st.com that's not "true" in a canon sense.

Re: T'Pau
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't mean it made no sense from a story standpoint. You're right there are a lot of things in Star Trek that don't make sense. But they are true. What I meant to say is, why put that fact on the Official site if it wasn't true.

Re: T'Pau
My guess is that it is something that might have been mentioned in a script as character background information, but went unspoken in live action. Or it was mentioned as background in one of the licensed tie-in productions (the Trek encyclopedia or whatever). Either way, non-canon, but someone used it to write a background on the official website.

Re: T'Pau
You know I have a real problem with all of this "cannon" stuff. What it is what it isn't. Why bother merchandising, writing books, encyclopedias, give background information if the only thing that's "real" is 60 minutes of TV time. Or in SW's case what a stuffy old man says is real. It's not fair! I hate it. OK I need to stop ranting...

Re: T'Pau
Geraci I think that's right. Two sets of Sicilian great-grandparents and I know no Italian. Well I always did take after the Irish side. But I'm a good cook so I got something. I like Spock and T'Pau being related though that way when he rebels she gets all "logically ticked-off." Hey she was the logical bat lady, she deserved what she got. She was scary to a little girl, my sister couldn't even look at her. She'd have whacked out nightmares. Yet Klingons were fine.

Because five TV series worth 700+ episodes and 10 movies (or whatever the amount was when something was written) is quite daunting in itself to keep track of when you're making a TV series or movie.
Besides, a lot of the tie-ins contradict each other, and what was (later) made into live action.
