Pon farr
Originally, the Vulcan time of mating was to have been called "Amok-Time" and was said to affect Vulcan males "about once every 26 years." Gene Roddenberry described it that way in a memo he wrote Gene c00n (on 5 December 1966).

Both the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Amok Time" and the film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock state that pon farr is particular to Vulcan males. This is, therefore, at odds with ENT: "Bounty", in which pon farris attributed to both sexes.

Pon farr is also mentioned in the Star Trek: Voyager outings "Gravity" and "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy". It was additionally referenced in the first draft script of ultimately undevelopedTAS episode "Point of Extinction".

In one draft of the script for the film Star Trek, screenwriters and producers Roberto Orciand Alex Kurtzman made a reference to pon farr. "We [...] thought we should save it instead," the writers said of the reference. (Star Trek Magazine issue 149, p. 13)

A misconception about pon farr is that it is the only time Vulcans mate, or that they are regulated to only engage in intercourse during this phase. Both concepts have been disproven, as Vulcans have been shown to be in conventional relationships while unaffected.


So because a sexy tpol was needed ent had to retcon the pon farr. Good decision because that was needed originally it only affected the men. Unless u calling spook a liar.
Live short and improvised.

Enterprise is canon, therefore; Male and Female Vulcans experience Pon Farr. Nuff said.

If you really knew trek you would this is one of the reasons people had trouble with enterprise. But like many on the internet you can't admit when you made a mistake.

But he's right it's canon whether people like it or not

My point was the writers made a mistake just so we got to see a horny sexy Vulcan. And he questioned my trek.

I'm still hoping for a star trek series that is set after the TNG/DS9/Voyager timeline. So far only prequels.

Yeah you are on point I havent watched much of tos so i didnt know that fact. I did enjoy seeing the horny female vulcan though lol.

Yeah this is what they should have done. Core fans like myself would be happier with the show and they could have done a war storyline. Set it 18 years after the dominion war ended. It was speculated that the alpha quadrant would eventually plunge into war again since all the powers would try to jock for position like it was talked about in inter arma enim silent leges.

I love this show.

I didn't make a mistake, I made an analytical conclusion. Is Enterprise not canon? Then I would be wrong....seeing that it is, I'm right. Female and Male Vulcan's can go through Pon Farr *As of Enterprise*. There, further detailed for your specifications.

So how do you explain amok time claim that the pon farr only affects vulcan men? Plug that plot hole since you care about conntinunity.

 

[Devilinurear]

Oh and the new ep eas alright

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah this episode didn’t work for me as much because the Klingon stuff confused the hell out of me. All the starfleet stuff was good but since most of the episode was with the Klingons...yeah I had no clue what homegirls plan was and if she was really sincere about defecting or if the admiral is really dead.

But I loved all the stuff on the planet and it was a strong episode for Saru. Next week should be really interesting

 

[Deltron]

fall finale already huh?

last night's episode was okay...seeing Saru act like he did was fun...motherfukker can run though

Klingon broad whooped the fukk outta the admiral...first thought it was part of their plan of escape...only to find out she kicked the shyt outta her. I think their arc should've been a separate episode all together.

 

[Take It In Blood]

On the latest episode of Nerdist Podcast Lawrence Fishburn is on there and says he was offered the role as a Klingon leader on Discovery but turned it down...he later went on to say he loves the new show and wouldn't rule out a possible appearance in the later seasons. He also mentions that he has the entire Star Trek TOS on Laser Disc. And that he collects comic books, Action Figures and Rocks. Nonchalantly mentions that he's currently filming Ant Man 2.


Great podcast, always admired homie from afar (Furious in Boyz N The hood was the goat black father) but never knew he was a low-key nikka nerd like the rest of us.



Worth a listen while ur cleaning the crib, working out or just working in general.

Spoiler

he also acknowledges Montana Fishburn existence when asked how many kids he has, guess he still has love for her

Damn him for turning that shyt down but yeah his nerd bonafides have been chronicled for a while. The only reason he wanted to be in man of steel is because he loves comic books. I'd love to see his perry white get more to do
