Your in good company with a lot of other writers, and even SCREEN writers, G.

The true 'Vulcan Way', as I've assimilated from many sources, was never the complete elimination of emotion; but using logic to control them! That was what I personally think was Surak's teachings... that yes, we feel. And we feel strongly! But if we control these feelings instead of letting them control us?

And, if you look back, even as far back as TOS, where Sarak and Amanda are aboard the Original Enterprise... Even though its not blatantly stated, its Sarak makes it clear that he very much loves Amanda, even though he is supposed to not let even love dictate his actions unless supported by logic. Although, at one point he does observe: "My logic fails me when it comes to my Wife"!

I know its not the official end credits, but for some reason my brain started channeling 'Who are You?'
