I think that's the Voyager episode featuring the Doctor vs. 24th Century Copyright Law, which when I put it like that sounds really interesting. (Come on, surely the Federation should have reams of precedent concerning the ownership rights of non-traditional sentient entities.)

Once or twice. That's why I thought it was funny, since those are the only times i can think of, offhand, of Vulcans being 'evil'.

DS9 too. Although less "evil", and more "smug self-rightious bastards".

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.

Well, okay. My point was that they were portrayed unfavorably. "Evil" being defined, in this instance, to include "generally disagreeable".

True enough. An Enterprise episode where the Vulcans say "Hey, don't go there because the following bad things will happen," and then they (humans) go there and those bad things do indeed occur would be neat.

I think that sums up most of season one. Though the Vulcan "doom-n-gloom" thing was not too specific.

The kind of evil I meant was more clear-cut, black-and-white type of evil. you know, the moustache-twirling kind. that episode was funny because Tuvok was overly dramatic in his evilness.

Sarcasm aside - I was going to say - we've never seen any Vulcans beside Mirror Spock with facial hair - and I was going to say - maybe that's a result of being half human - but then there was that Vulcan master that taught Tuvok when he was young and not in control of his emotions. Maybe, though he too was half human?
