Star Trek: Enterprise season 4 introduced a younger version of Star Trek: TOS Vulcan icon T'Pau, who has a fascinating connection to T'Pol.
Star Trek: Enterprise season 4 reintroduced T'Pau , the younger version of the revered Vulcan icon played by Celia Lovsky in Star Trek: The Original Series. T'Pau was crucial to the Enterprise season 4 Vulcan-centric three-episode story arc, "The Forge," "Awakening," and "KirShara.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY T'Pau's first appearance was in the Star Trek: The Original Series classic, "Amok Time." Described as "all of Vulcan in one package" and the only person to ever turn down a seat on the Federation council, T'Pau officiated the kal-if-fee ritual combat between Spock and Captain James T. Kirk . Spock's fiancée, T'Pring , wanted to end their betrothal and Kirk was manipulated into fighting Spock in place of her lover, Stonn .
T'Pau's appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise was a crucial step in addressing one of the criticisms of the prequel: why the Vulcans behaved so differently than they do in the Star Trek series set later in the timeline. T'Pau, Archer, and T'Pol's recovery of the Kir'Shara statue containing Surak's original teachings eventually overthrew the corrupt Vulcan High Command, bringing in the more familiar Vulcans Star Trek fans know best.
T'Pol Was Originally Going To Be T'Pau On Enterprise Originally, the character of T'Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise was intended to be the younger version of T'Pau. Enterprise's executive producers hoped the link to Star Trek: The Original Series would give the prequel a "boost" from longtime fans. T'Pol was even referred to as T'Pau in Enterprise's first series bible.
Along with her younger version in Star Trek: Enterprise season 4, T'Pau's legend endured in Star Trek after TOS. The Star Trek: Voyager season 3 episode, "Darkling," created a holographic version of T'Pau played by Betty Matsushita. The 24th-century Vulcan transport seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Unification" two-parter was named in her honor, as is the 32nd-century NSS T'Pau seen in Star Trek: Discovery.
