@Somone: I do't want emotionless robots. Can't a person plan and adapt while showing emotion? Byakuya in BLEACH tried to hide his emotions and stay calm and zen when he does anything. Have you noticed that he doesn't really appear in the show/manga unless an action scene is about to happen? There's a reason for that: he's fucking boring. Emotionlessness, real or faked, is an extremely boring character trait if it isn't backed up by something else, like wittiness in the case of Spock or any number of literal automatons in fiction. Byakuya backs his emotionless demeanor with nothing, thus he is a boring character. It's why he appears so infrequently that I hesitate to call him even a secondary character.
