Lt. Evans 0 Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Like the title says: How come Vulcans don't have beards? Except for alternate reality Spock... but that's alternate reality... so the question stands. Edited March 24, 2004 by Lt. Evans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Q stole my bike 0 Posted March 24, 2004 Sybok had a beard, but I guess taht doesn't count since he was loopy (by Vulcan standards at least.) But isn't it like, all hot on Vulcan? If that's the case then a beard would probably get all hot and itchy. Or maybe they don't have beards because it's too neo-hippie-ish, and hippies aren't logical. Or maybe it's just not in style. :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Bolivar 0 Posted March 25, 2004 (edited) In the book "Probe" Sarek's protege Riley (the singing one from Engineering) has a beard and Riley remembers how Sarek had first reacted to it when they first met. They mention how it is unusual for Vulcan's to have beards because they aren't dignified. Edited March 25, 2004 by Captain Bolivar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted March 25, 2004 Perhaps the Vulcan High Command has already encountered the Mirror Universe and proclaimed beards un- dignified as a result of that meeting? Sybok was anti-establishment so it stands to reason he would fly in the face of whatever rule the VHC or societal value was held. Maybe they have really good razors.

fenriz275 0 Posted March 25, 2004 I thought it was because the only Vulcans who have beards are the unVulcan Vulcans, so most Vulcans who are Vulcan don't have beards because that's the Vulcan thing to do, if you're Vulcan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 26, 2004 Didn't we see Tuvok with a beard in an episode of Voyager? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikerChick 5 Posted March 26, 2004 Vulcans are logical, not sexy and beards are VERY sexy. I'm not much into Vulcans but the alternate reality Spock was hot! Can you tell I have a thing for facial hair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Evans 0 Posted March 28, 2004 Rikerchick is right... if not how do you explain practically every male actor in hollywood having one? Russel Crowe Brad Pitt Ben Affleck Jonny Depp Orlando Bloom Eric Bana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Esther 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Vulcans don't have beards because they shave them. (Or depilate or inhibit or whatever.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samdrake 0 Posted May 1, 2004 Tuvok didn't have a beard, but we did see him shaving in The Year of Hell episode when he was blind. He cut himself with his razor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSonofvulcan 0 Posted June 17, 2004 There is not enough evidence to make an assumption. It would be illogical to jump to conclusions since we have only seen about 50 Vulcans in star trek's run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
