This makes me wonder, are Vulcans basically Space Elves?

  Klingons = Space Orcs

    Romulans = Space Haradrim? Really it doesn't make sense to connect these different things directly, because they point towards higher archetypes that we have embedded in our collective consciousness.

      Romulans would be like the wood elves.

  Not quite, because Elves are not devoid of emotion or super-logical. But there are commonalities, I suppose... they share sympathy for hobbits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC35cQKHwzg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC35cQKHwzg

  More Romulans if you have seen Picard - though I do get slight father ted vibe

  As a Tolkien fan, Leonard Nimoy was among the first to correct people that Vulcans were nothing like Tolkien's elves. Among other things, it is said that Nimoy picked the distinctive Vulcan ear where the point is almost straight up specifically to differentiate it from usual book descriptions of elven ears.
