Thoughts on the v'tosh ka'tur
The v'tosh ka'tur (Vulcans without logic) made their first canon appearance in the ENT episode Fusion. The name means "Vulcans without logic" and by T'Pol's reaction to them, v'tosh ka'tur are very much outside of mainstream of Vulcan society. So much so that the crew of the Valkis felt they needed to get off the planet to investigate their ideas. This look into Vulcan society brings up a few questions.
a) What are the origins of the v'tosh ka'tur? Are they associated with the intolerance of the V'las administration or have dissidents to the logical ideal always been around. We do know that a major group of dissidents left to eventually create the Romulan empire. It makes sense that other groups arose over the centuries. Some might have stayed on Vulcans while others took to the stars. Small groups of "oddball" Vulcans might be scattered all over Federation space. Some might have been away from Vulcan for generations.
b) How do current Vulcans (TOS era) react to them? Sybok was banished from his home world. The movie did not go into details, but his attitudes must have upset the higher-ups on Vulcan.
c) After the destruction of Vulcan, how will they react? Will they stay away or will they try to return? WIll the remnant of the mainstream Vulcan population accept them?
