It’s kinda funny, most Vulcans in the time of ENT think humans are just barely coherent monkeys. They basically think humans have cooties and if they interact too much with them they get the cooties as well. Then they send along T’Pol to be their nanny and Soval to watch over them. But as they interact more with humans, their values rub off on them and both become “corrupted” from a Vulcan point of view. I can just imagine all the other Vulcans going like: See! I told you interacting with humans makes your mind go to mush! And they smell bad too!
Yeah, that’s also one of the things I enjoyed about ENT. The Vulcans we’ve known up until then have been this high and mighty, enlightened society. In ENT, they initially seem the same, and the Vulcans certainly see themselves that way, but the more their culture at the time is revealed, the more we see they’re still very closed-minded and regressive.
Toward the end, they have an enlightenment period and start becoming the Vulcans we’re familiar with.
