In which episodes did T'Pol look her best?

I liked her in this blue outfit at the end of Bound. She spends the majority of the ep in the pinkish velour which I am not fond of. I also liked her in Bound because all of a sudden she stops looking like she is going to die from malnutrition. Maybe it's the makeup, maybe the sandwiches on set were good that week but she does not have the puffy things under her eyes in this ep and looks healthy. More like early T'Pol (but prettier).
So agree, teacake. Much as I love her and new hair/outfits in final season it's hard to find decent pictures of her early season 4 as she looks so ill (in screengrabs anyway). Was there anything up with her at time of filming?

I've wondered that too lurok. Usually people just assume she's starving herself but she is already very thin, a few bouts of gastro could easily give her that hollowed out look I find so hard to watch in Season 3/ early 4.
teacake, forgot HR had posted this earlier upthread. Seems most logical explanation...
This really makes me happy! I am now free of the nagging eating disorder/dislike that follows me through the gaunt eps.
^^ Yes, it's too easy for people to just assume she was anorexic. Better to know she was an actress soldiering on through a tough time.
I understand she was into a lot of sports, too-- kickboxing, skiing, something like that. I can see developed muscles on her arms, not the skinny arms characteristic of an eating disorder.

From the Enterprise press kit before the pilot aired.
Those hands give me nightmares...

They look like man hands. What an awful picture. Why would they use such a photo to promote the show?
It looks like they had something different in mind for T'Pol. Maybe Half Vulcan-half crazed alien monster? There are other pics where she has a more mullet like hairdo. Just as awful as you envision it.
Back to our regular scheduled programming.
Like the Striated Pardalote or the Yellow-throated Sparrow T'Pol is best viewed in her natural habitat. From "Home" :

Though even in that you can see she's not at best...
yeah, I never thought anorexic but after googling, seems there was some talk at time of stress and 'spacey' appearances on chat shows (whatever that means). Whatever...she got over it, thankfully.

Straight from the pages of EAR ACTION MAGAZINE we see T'Pol engaged in discussion. She really looks under the weather in this screencap.

Away from the Vulcan compound in Sausalito we find T'Pol inside the Fusion Night Club in San Francisco.
Stylish as ever.

Oooooooo daring T'Pol going into a nightclub! That rebel.
T'pol became far too skinny in the fourth season: she looked anorexic. Scary. She lost all her sex appeal. She was so unhealthy she even had bags under her eyes. She looked like she had aged ten years.
At first I thought it was a temporary make-up job based on the rough time she had with the trellium and the Vulcan desert, but I soon saw that she was simply turning into skin and bones.

YMMV, but I never thought she was sickly thin, certainly not enough to lose her sex appeal.
