Which of these sullen, stoic side characters gets your ire most? Main characters Spock, Tuvok, and T’Pol left out for obvious reasons.
It’s Solok and it ain’t close.

It’s Solok and it ain’t close.
Solok woke up the day he went to DS9 and chose all the violence that logic would allow.
Of these, the answer is definitely Solok, but I would like to put forward, Tolaris, the V’tosh ka’tur that assaulted T’Pol in Ent s1e17.
Also, I better not see anyone saying T’Rina. She and Saru are so cute 🥺
Solok, no contest. The others were various levels of asshat, solok was 1000% cunt
Certainly expected. I was more curious to see if there any outliers. Might consider turning this into an elimination board.
I never liked the dude on Voyager. Not Tuvok, but the other Vulcan… I can’t remember his name. But he was way more open about being a dick with a superiority complex than any other Vulcan I can think of.
Alas, poor Vorik… I forgot his name.
New Sarek.
I liked that they got an actor with a very punchable face to play him.
Can we get an honorable mention for Spock’s brother?
Sybok is a menace in his own right. I plan to add him and Valeris in the next round (minus Solok the obvious favorite)
Add in Sokel for the next round. He was T’Lyn’s former captain.
I loved Valeris though. She was an important window into how Vulcan "logic" isn't a formal system of maths and proofs but a multiplicity of systems that each try to be internally consistent. I didn't agree with her conclusion, like I wasn't meant to, but I actually thought she was a very courageous person for acting on her own moral conviction.
Nice. I didn’t realize there were do many awful Vulcans. This has been enlightening.
Solok got my blood boiling.
I haven't seen all of Discovery, Enterprise, or DS9 so I'm completely unqualified to participate in this, but I'll make a write-in vote for Original-flavor T'Pring. Biiiiiiiishhhhhhh
SNW T'Pring though, I love her. She's got actual depth and I can empathize with her.
Runner-up: TOS T'Pau. Stuck-up xenophobe, plus they gave her that dumb early modern English dialogue of thees and thous that was supposed to convey ancient wisdom or something but they conjugated it all wrong and it's annoying as hell

Oh it’s 100% Solok. The guy made his entire senior staff learn and practice baseball just to antagonize a former colleague.
Sovol was the face of the High Command’s punchable decisions, but he ended up being a real one in Season Four. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CpIPixWaj1E

Fucking love that scene. Gives me goosebumps and warm fuzzies all at once.

No even a former colleague, Sisko was the guy he used to bully in school.
