More of a "smoking skirmish" perhaps...
Well, you know that it always seems hotter to those on the indside.

Rumour had it a year or so ago that it was going to be T'Pau - then they changed their minds for whatever reason... (Probably because it was a little too far into the obsessive end of things...)
Well, the time frame would fit...I don't remember if they even gave an age for her in the TOS episode (or in the later book, Spock's World, which dealt with her death...obviously not canon, but good reading), but I could only assume, that as a matriarch, she was somewhere above 150 years old in "Amok Time." So, T'Pau is probably somewhere on Vulcan in 2152, between 35-65 years old or so.

Who knows? Maybe they'll bring in a young T'Pau for an episode or two, or even make her a recurring character throughout the series.

So, side Q here...who would you bring in to play T'Pau in her 30s to 60s? Off the top of my head, I was thinking Cathrine Zeta Jones.

BTW, the STIII priestess was not T'Pau, as some may believe...her name was T'Lar (source: startrek.com).
