I require to be his hinderance . I want to be … whatever humankind come up with , I require to recommend to the council that that they do n’t go [ and to ] keep humans down . So that was my drive force .
In the pilot , I leaven my voice . I let it cringe out . I let myself ascend above the retention down of the emotions … For just a [ tear secondly ] , I burn up and [ Archer ] is read aback , and he order , ‘ raise your voice to make a point .

Why Vulcans Were So Different On Star Trek: Enterprise
Some fans objected to how Enterprise portrayed the Vulcans
Star Trek : Enterprise ’s depiction of Vulcans was controversial , but it was a calculated option by executive producer Rick Berman and Brannon Braga . Vulcans are often prideful and can irritate world , but they were rarely portrayed as subtle after Leonard Nimoy ’s Spock establish the templet for the logical aliens onStar Trek : The Original Series . Enterprise ’s Vulcans like Ambassador Soval were ostensibly Earth ’s friend , but theVulcans were obstructionists who hid dark secret from their human booster , includingStar Trek : endeavour ’s NX-01 gang .
The alternative to makeVulcans villains onStar Trek : Enterprisewas to give their relationship with Earthlings an arc , so that they would gradually transform into unfeigned friends of humans . Enterpriseseason 4 base the Vulcan High Council guide by Ambassador V’Lar ( Robert Foxworth ) was indeed tainted and in league with the circuitous Romulans . Captain Archer , T’Pol ( Jolene Blalock ) , andT’Pau ( Kara Zediker)exposed the malefic High Council , paving the style for Vulcans to reembrace the teachings of Surak and to become more like the VulcansStar Trekfans are intimate with . Gary Graham ’s Ambassador Soval was a of the essence part of the Vulcan plot line onStar Trek : Enterprise .
