You know, Robin Williams was the reason that I started doing stand-up comedy? My personal hero. Knowing that he did this for Neelix, especially when he was getting a lot of hate? Robin is a saint. Also just a small thing because I wanted to honor the man…

    Jetrel and Mortal Coil, of course. My fav Tuvok episode is probably Meld, but mainly because I loved the plot around Suder and the actor of Suder is great in general. I’ve got nothing against Tuvok, but I don’t really get Vulcans and their logic only attitude. It’s why I thought the arc around Tuvix was interesting, but agreed, the character made a lot of folks very uncomfortable. Still, I think they should’ve used the transporter to “duplicate” Tuvix and devide the copy instantly back to Neelix and Tuvok. ^^

        Glad you liked my picks. :)

        Oh, I’m fully aware of the Vulcan “logic only” background, but to me watching them behave and act the way they do, I’d rather watch paint dry. ^^

        Regarding the double Tuvix plot: It’s why you have to split the copy Tuvix the same second he’s being created. Not aware of wtf was going on, Tuvok and Neelix show up again and are like: “Who the hell is that lad?” :D

        Edit: Nah, you’re grand and I liked your objection. I had to explain further how to avoid that problem in the first place.

        Edit 2: I loved Spock’s brother Sybok. He had some spice in his jam.

            Don’t you be worrying, love. All’s good.

            Agreed, Vulcans do win all gold medals for sass! In that regard I’ve got to admit that my fav is probably T’Pol. But it’s hard to pick a winner with Spock and Tuvok participating in that race.

            Had to laugh so hard trying to imagine how the Doctor’s hair would first turn grey and fall out a second later :D

            Sybok returning in SNW would be epic!

            Also, Gravity is a very good Tuvok episode. Stubborn lil snot, back in the day. ^^

      I really liked the episode in the orbital lift as well. And I wish Suder had been in more episodes! He was so good!

        Brad Dourif is awesome, I love his character in everything I’ve seen him in. His Babylon 5 episode was crazy good too.

      Sudor’s arc is great. Have you seen Babylon 5? Because Brad Dourif plays a monk in ‘passing through Gethsemane’ and it’s also an excellent performance. Probably my favorite guest character in the series.

          I’m not going to say it’s the best episode of the series, but when I try to think which one is, it’s always the first that comes to mind.

        Yes, Bab5 is one of my favourite shows of all time and Dourif’s acting was on point. Same with Walter Koenig in each episode featuring Alfred Bester.
