Star Trek: 12 Characters That Deserve Their Own Series

4. Surak - The Time Of Awakening

One thing that is interesting to note: throughout the history of Star Trek we've only had a glimpse of the Vulcans. We have a lot more material on the Klingons, but very little on the Vulcans themselves. There's much more that we need to see (can see) and learn from that can be expanded from this world's tumultuous history, material that would illuminate centuries of back story for this amazing race of aliens we all love so much.

Considering that a series of just the Vulcans could potentially be bland, gives credence to why we (generally) see them in glimpses, and not in a series of their own. A prequel series would make the most sense. One that focuses on Surak, the father of Vulcan Logic. Including the spark for the event in their history called the "Time of Awakening" which led to the splintering of the Vulcan people. Causing a mass exodus into the stars, for a group of Vulcans who would later be known as Romulans. Who continued to embrace their emotions and their beliefs, away from Surak's Logic.

A series about Vulcans, prior to their logic, their emotional control, the wars they waged, and their conflicts would be amazing. Conflicts they bore with the Andorians €“ among other species €“ would be exceptionally welcome stories to watch unfold. Especially to see early Vulcans killing their enemies with Lirpa's in uncontrolled rage, would send chills down (virtually) any Trekkies spine. Add an elder Spock to the mix in the currently destroyed Vulcan continuity, place him in a setting where he educates young Vulcans on the history; the heritage of homeworld. Have Spock at the opening and ending of each episode beginning a narrative, prior to any flashback, and you have the recipe for an amazing series.
