The problem is that nobody among the writers seemed to be able to connect "desert planet" with "lack of vegetation." Tough concept, I guess. :roll:

Or, maybe they thought that the show bible said "dessert planet" and just imagined Vulcans eating nothing but tiramisu and cheesecake...

If I may do the unthinkable for a moment - getting back to the original topic (gods!) - I watched TOS: "The Naked Time" this morning after a long while. I know Vulcans are often shown to be subtly sracastic, but Spock said, after subduing Sulu on the bridge, "Take D'Artagnon here to sick bay."

Isn't that the mostly grossly overt form of sarcasm imaginable - to hear from a Vulcan?

I blame it all on Teaos.
You would. :D

I would eat another Alien species. Depending on what they taste like they may become part of your regular diet.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Or maybe the Vulcans are just hiding all the vegetable gardens on the other side of the planet...you know, the side that's always facing away from the viewer. Hey, you never know... :wink:
Or maybe the Vulcan vegetables only grow in caves....Or maybe they only grow every...say...6 years, when the whole planet gets turned into a vegetarian's paradise, then turns into a desert again in time for the next Vulcan-centric episode. Or maybe the Vulcan word that translates as vegatarian really means 'eater of vegats', vegats being large, herbivorous Vulcan animals.

Anyone have any other ideas? :P

Perish the thought! Every true Star Trek fan knows that the Writers are omniscient and incapable of error. If an inconsistency does exist, it must be our fault for not rationalizing it correctly!

So, onward! Rationalize! :o
