That combined with the slight Romulan twinge was quite interesting. Robin Curtis didn't have Vulcan features, both physically and emotionally. She seemed very 'round', and I expect Vulcans to be gaunt and angular. Her performance as a Vulcan was very poor. There seemed to be little attempt to even appear emotionless.
