I like Shran but nah. Sadly, Shran episodes are pretty weak aside from the very first one and largely because his plots rely on Archer to be incompetent and get saved by the Andorians or someone else.

You can't fix a broken show and there's too much broken about ENT for one character to fix.
That character still has to exist in the world of ENT's drab and shoddy writing quality.

Also, ENT is so serialized that you can't disentangle it from its bad plots. It's way more serialized than DS9.
Meanwhile, VOY is episodic so you can enjoy its many great one-off episodes without feeling the need to swallow some bitter pill about a Temporal Cold War or some 9/11 plot about the Xindu Nothing Wrongs.

You couldn't be more wrong. First of all, it's Mark Leonard's Sarek that is the perfectly portrayed Vulcan in Star Trek. The character of Spock is all about internal conflict.

As the other anon said, you're a gooner. T'pol is such a shitty Vulcan with her erraticism and oscillating emotional state that they were going to reveal she was half-Romulan as a tie in to the developing Romulan storyline in S5.
You could not have picked a worse choice.
