> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tarragon918 \* > \*\*Well actually… “Bounty” is with -both- the Tellarite AND T’Panda! 😃 I just checked on the official ST site and Bounty is the one where T’Pol feels the effects of Pon Farr… which I had previously thought was only felt by male Vulcans (wow, that was a sexist thought on my part now!). And I love Phlox, so am looking forward to T’Pol and Phlox in Decon. 🙂 \*\* You weren’t being sexist. The Vulcan(ian)s were. In “Amok Time,” they only talk about the males going into heat and T’Pau asks T’Pring if she is “prepared to become the property of the victor.” And in ST3,SFS, Saavik tells David that Pon Farr is something Vulcan males must endure every seventh year of their adult lives. Oh, speaking of Tellarites…I just found one under my bed! About four inches tall he is, a nice little Hamilton figure, except that he kinda looks like Dr. Zaius. I also found a Klingon, an Andorian, and a Mugatu. We’ve all **got to Mugatu** some time. ---

Now that I think about it, Ponn Farr was presented as something only males “suffered.” LOL (I added the other n to Ponn because it’s supposed to be there…I think. :D) Now as to your Tellarite … I am now extremely jealous! 😉 Are these figurines that are available somewhere? Where can I get one? 🙂 Help me, someone, please? Aiyeee! LOL ---

**tarragon** , just email me if you really want the little piggy guy. You don’t have to buy one. Besides, he’d probably be happier in another environment–i.e., not under my bed. Adding letters to words is something Trek Dopers do on a regular basis. 😉 ---

All the cool kids have Romulan figurines. Losers! ---

I have a lifesize animatronic Yeoman Colt. (fully functional) And an Andrea. I’m eagerly awaiting my T’Pol… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-bounty-next-week-will-have-a-tellarite/173657.md?page=4)
