Wow! If I had a nickel for every time a Trek show had a blind engineer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

It's the same amount of Vulcan science officers! (Maybe even 2½, if you count Burnham's upbringing)
'Hi we're Starfleet, and we recruit our captains from among the best and the brightest on 150 member worlds, spread over 8,000 light years! But the vast majority of the time, when it's not Jean-Luc Picard, we just get them from this one particular country that accounts for about 4% of the population of Earth. Weird, huh?'
Yeah, well have you looked at the starting salary? And the mortality rate of enlisted... all the smart species know to stay away.
Starfleet is a uniquely human thing. I wonder if the other worlds think we’re weird for wanting to explore the universe.
Vulcans in Enterprise definitely did. All of the other member races maintain their own space force so it really is a human thing even if it’s not a human thing
Wasn't the Vulcan ship in DS9 still technically a Starfleet vessel?
That one was, but the Vulcan science directorate still has a fleet.
Wait, are you counting T'Pol and Spock? What about Tuvok? He was a science officer on the Excelsior.
I know the actor was the same, but was that the same character?
Well he should count for half like Michael. :D
I see after your edit that you posted a pic of Enterprise B. I was talking about when he made tea for Sulu on Excelsior.
lol yep, "ence the "ignore me, I'm confused " :D
There was a flashback to Tuvok on Excelsior, as well. It is incredibly confusing.
If this was Star Wars they would have "Special Editioned" in some Vulcan ears (on Enterprise B) by now.
Tuvok was the security officer on Voyager.
Yes, and during one episode he has flashbacks to the excelsior where he served with sulu. On the excelsior he was a junior science officer.
Spock is also half Vulcan, no? So it's 3 people and 2 Vulcans.
