So what, are you reading the special Canadian versions of these novelizations?

According to the novelization of TWoK, Saavik had an impulsive fling with David and was pregnant with his baby in TSFS.

Umm, no. Saavik and David had a fling at the beginning of the TSFS novelization. Neither the TSFS novel nor the TVH novel mention her being pregnant with anybody's child.

Her mindmeld with young Spock on Genesis was to stablize his ordeal through pon farr. I don't accept the implimentation of Saavik becoming pregnant with nothing more than a few touches of the fingers.

What, you never heard of foreplay?

(The only time I had seen this happening was Miss Q and Q doing a quickie in The Q and the Grey but that is a different matter altogether. )

Not to mention it doesn't have jack shit to do with anything.

This may explain why she was hesitant when she wanted to tell Kirk about David in TVH and the dismissal glance Spock gave Saavik at the end of TSFS. IMO I like this explanation better than the nearly surreal scenario given in the script or the TVH commentary.

More like Spock's glance kind of embarrassed her, because she knew what they'd done on Genesis. And her awkward goodbye to Kirk was probably awkward because they were discussing her "condition" before she tells him about David's brave death. But please, read things into it that aren't there.

However the debate continues.

Only in your head.

That was only the beginning of what went on offscreen.

And later, they both had a cigarette. It was probably a stray ash from that encounter that caused the famous fire that William Shatner had to help put out, and was covered by "Entertainment Tonight"!

The child is mine okay? Granted I've only been here for a few days and I have no idea who the mother is, heck from my point of view the child hasnt even been conceieved yet. All I know is its mine and it timetravelled somehow.

Bumpety bumpety just to let you know that I updated this thing for the first time in a year and a half.

You should remove my TrekBBS e-mail address from the very bottom of the FAQ, under the Disclaimer. It's not even active anymore.

Good to see you again, LG.

Typo alert: it's Denny Martin Flinn, not Denny Martin Flynn.

[cardinal biggles]

Thank'ee.

The list in Part V has been revised to reflect Ricardo Montalban's death.

[cardinal biggles]

Minor update in Part VI to reflect the updated info about the Blu-ray boxed set.

[cardinal biggles]

Another update in Part VI to bring the Blu-ray info up to date.

ST XI begins in 2233.04, corresponding to January 2233.

So: TWOK, which begins with Kirk's birthday, takes place in January 228_.

I now think TWOK-TFF all take place during the same calendar year.

[cardinal biggles]

If it weren't for the vintage of the Romulan Ale (2283), 2283 would be as good a date as any for TWOK to begin — Kirk getting hung up about turning 50. Of course, for the time being, we're still trying to just keep this about the first ten.

Just in regards to khan recognizing chekov, if you look at the stardate for catspaw it places it before space speed chronologically, meaning in universe chekov was a member of the crew when khan took over the enterprise, meaning he probably would have seen his face when he went through the crew manifest.
