And other good thing would have been creating a better explanation. Why instead of the "I wanted to experience human emotions"

I found the storyline very compelling. Yeah, I'm in the minority. So what else is new.And yeah, sure, one of the results of this storyline would be that the T/T relationship would be helped along.
If you don't want Vulcan restrictions why bother with a Vulcan character? *grumble grumble*justTripn wrote:I recall (can't swear to it) that the commentary on the DVD by the writers was that they wanted to get out of the Vulcan restrictions for this character so they introduced the trellium addiction.

I don't agree. Having thought about how season 4 went I think the writers wanted to make a clean start with TnT. I think they didn't want it to look like T'Pol would only marry Trip because no sane Vulcan would go near her. I think they wanted to show that she wanted Trip not because she was an addict, sick with panar, out of control and an outcast but simply because he was the one for her. So they showed that she was still wanted by Koss (The whys are not explained ofc). Then when that was out of the way they could start again and the first thing they did was attempt to rebuild T'Pol's character and self respect, they wanted her to be Vulcan again and in control and so had her reconnect with her people and culture, (ofc the side effect was treating Trip like dirt sadly) and then when she was stable again, in control, they showed that Trip still loved her for who she was, a Vulcan, and then they showed that even though she was in control of all of her mental faculties she was still in love with him, and the scene at the end of bound was a little treat for Trip for putting up with T'Pol while she was sorting her head out. I mean they did end up together. Some here have claimed *the_abomination* never existed, if that really was the case, and we have seen the script that would have been if not for *the_abomination*, they ended up contemplating a future together that involved kids.
