Am I the only one who would like to see an older T'Pol giving Spock advice on serving with Humans in the next movie? I think it would be a great scene. I really hope they dont bury T'Pol. She had some awesome flaws.

I'd love for the script to throw we "Enterprise" fans a bone with the young Kirk mentioning that Spock is the first Vulcan/Human hybrid and Zachary Quinto's Spock interrupting saying "No Lt. Kirk, Ambassador T'les Elizabeth Tucker has that honor."

Me too. I'd like to see T'Pol again, but I deeply doubt it does. Besides Jolene Blalock 'll never do again. I think I undestood the character Jolene Blalock and I dont think she is much bound T'Pol, she took this role for she didnt find other jobs, I heard an interview where she stated that. I think also that a true fan of Jolene did it.

I would love to see Jolene in a cameo role in the movie. I know many Trekkers arent very keen on Enterpise, but the fourth season was fantastic and whether people like it or not, it is apart of the Star Trek legacy and should be honoured in some way by the movie. T'Pol was a great character and a scene with the younger Spock would be ideal.
I also doubt the writers have given much if any thought to it. -

I'd like for Jolene to be in the main cast but as a new character. Maybe as the ST11 version of Yeoman Rand. Jolene in a short mini-skirt uniform serving young Kirk.
But no T'pol. While I couldnt care less if ST:E is part of the legacy or not, like all of the treks it has its goods & sucks, I personally could not stand two chatacters. T'pol & the navigator. In fact, while I am not much a fan of ST:E, I'd rather ST11 be an ST:E movie than younger verions of the TOS crew. -

I'd love to see Jolene in the next movie in ANY form - but to me the most sensical is as T'Pol, and she was clearly the most liked character on Enterprise - and by women too so not just for her looks.
I agree that they need to throw Enterprise fans a bone or two and they also need to go ahead and canonize the events of the ST:E book The Good That Men Do and Last Full Measure that threw out the finale like the garbage that it was. They need to validate it with something Spock says about Trip and T'Pol's offspring. It's only logical. -

What a great idea. There would be a great connection. From what I've seen, she's not on the ccast list. T'Pol and Spock would be a great scene.
I differ with the critics Jolene would be happy to be further connected with ST; she's never had a bad word to say about it.
Is your point so weak that you must have the last word? -

Do you really think JJ Abrams cares about the Star Trek legacy? As far as I'm concerned, the new movies are decent general sci-fi, but no matter how hard they try it will never be Star Trek. Its just not the same and I miss the 90's shows and what not. Ya know?

Actually, I would like to ask all you real trekkies out there if T'Pol has not already been seen giving Spock advice. In the original series there was an episode centering around Spock going through the pon farr,(excuse my Vulcan spelling) and the ancient Vulcan woman, presiding over the ceremony and whose presence seemed to really impress Kirk, was called, if I remember correctly, T'pol. Could this be a hidden tie in, or am I misrememembering the name?

The episode in the original series was "Amok Time" and the woman Kirk was referring to was T'Pau; younger version of T'Pau was in the 2 part "Enterprise" episode "Kirshara." I've read Jolene's T'Pol was supposed to be T'Pau in "Enterprise" but they couldn't get the rights to the character so they changed the name to the similar sounding T'Pol.

Thanks very much jcreed01. I knew there was someone ou5b4t there who would know. I just watched that episode of Enterprise(Kirshira) the other night. It was really well done, as so many Enterprise episodes were. "Fascinating".

You are very welcome. I dismissed the first 2 seasons of "Enterprise" as nothing but re-hash of TNG and Voyager, the series got back on track late Season 3 and finally found its footing in Season 4- with the exception of that piece of crap "These Are the Voyages" series finale- but it was too little, too late. In my opinion, what made the series was Jolene and Connor Trinneer- great chemistry.

Would very much love to see Jolene in any new Star Trek productions! And as T'Pol, not as some "miniskirt yeoman". T'Pol is among the very best characters in the whole Star Trek saga. Her character got more personal depth than anyone else's in Enterpriseperhaps more than anyone else in the saga. She was first hated and mistrusted the whole crew and her fellow Vulcans as well, alone and lost in her feelings, hurt, rejected with love affairs and tried to hide that all. I loved T'Pol and felt for her. She's a good character!
To me Enterprise was best with the early seasons, when humans were underdogs in space, and relations to other cultures were new. Temporal Cold War was also an intersting plot, much more so than the terrorist 9/11-copy of Xindi war, and the humans' "rightful" rage. Hated big time the maniac character J. Archer turned into.

They had the rights to use the name "T'Pau" but doing so would require paying the person that made the name/wrote Amok Time money.
As for her saying I'll never do it again, when did she say that? The same for taking the job because she couldn't find other work, when was that said? She had rejected the role twice apparently, if one reads memory alpha.

Yes, she took this job because didn't find other job and she stated she made many auditions all good all good feedbacks but no job. that is how Hollywood works. On enterprise DVD season 2 an interview with Jolene Blalock in enterprise profile.
