Possibly the very best, actually. He's quite the actor (although I'm NOT a big Voyager fan). He was definitely one of the show's highlights.

None seen, however, Tellerite freighters have been mentioned a few times on DS9, as well as a Tellerite Captain Laporin (IIRC) that was the Captain of a Federation Starship in "Apocalypse Rising"....

Indeed - except the producers/writers shafted him for any good scripts. I remember asking Braga? In a trekweb chat - why there wasn't more Tuvok/Seven contact - seeing as it was a very special relationship they had in "Year of Hell" and he said that they both had monotonous voices that didn't go well together. What crap.
I'm guessing apon thinking about that scene that maybe it was written with Kes in mind as, afterall Tuvok and Kes had some history.

I'm thinking that Tellerite women have two sets of breasts?
Oh and why didn't they give that Tellerite fellow in ENT three fingers!?! Did they give him 'shallow' eyes?? If he was more like the "Whom gods destory" Tellerite - (whom I reckon is half human) then maybe he is half Tellerite (the one from ENT).

To be fair, the "Whom Gods Destroy" Tellerite looked roughly 7 billion times better than the "Journey to Babel" Tellerite. I know it was the 60s, but come on...

It's not impossibly. Look at how much Japanese society has changed since WWII.
You could also suggest that maybe Vulcan society didn't change too much between ENT and TOS, it just started to change, with people like Sarek being pioneers/protesters/funky chickens.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
