I call Tuvok “the Republican Vulcan” for a number of reasons:
Spock and other Vulcans make it clear that mindmelds are private, intimate, and highly invasive. But when Mr. Tuvok gotta investigate anything? Fingerguns come out, ready to invade the mind of all suspects without consent. No job was small enough for Tuvoks solution, not only is it on the table, he offers it first.
Then, when that is refused, his next solution is shooting first (occasionally with the facade of trying to reason with them, but often that gets dropped faster than any other Vulcan).
Tuvok seemed pretty ok from what I remember, but I’ve only watched Voyager through once … so maybe I’ve forgotten some of his bad choices.

There are more points but it’s been a while
