I don't know which was harder to watch ... the Captain going off to sacrifice himself for the benefit of mankind, or T'Pol's inability to face the reality of his decision. I must admit, her reaction surprised me. I expected her to be logically cool; fully understanding his motives.
After all, since this mission started, circumstances have forced him to be the instrument of too many atrocities ... he could not order the death of one of his own.
He made the only decision he could, yet she left the bridge, when we needed her strength.
Could she have feelings for him?
