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.

Has anyone seen the teaser trailer on youtube? its the one with the contruction of the Enterprise? Well if you have I'm sure I hear either godspeed or good luck Jonathan. Could be wrong but I've watched it a couple of times and it does sound like it.

Listen again, and pay attention. Maybe some people need to learn a little real history, and not b68spend so much time studying the Trek 'verse.
What you hear is sound clips from real history, including clips from John F. Kennedy and Neil Armstrong. The quote is "Godspeed, John Glenn," by astronaut Scott Carpenter on February 20, 1962. Glenn was about to launch into history as the first American to orbit the earth. -

TOS is supposed to be about 100 years after Enterprise, and the movie takes place before Kirk takes command, so maybe 90 years or so from her age in the series, which co2000uld make her around, oh I'm just guessing here, maybe 150 or 160 years (yeah, unfortunately, she'd be the "old" T'Pol).
Is your point so weak that you must have the last word? -

How long do Vulcans (or half-Vulcans) live? I suppose (though this is
really*
building on the "reverse the polarity" tradition of Star Trek) that after 40 years (at the ripe old age of 100), she has herself cloned and then transfered her consciousness into the clone. That at least is canon in Star Trek II (might be wrong, I'm not Trekie enough to look it up)
