I love you Mommy

Can I be reasonably forgiven for thinking this thread was about Wesley and Beverly Crusher?

My second thought was, "Of course they should have made a Saavik pregnancy canon... but only if it had been Kirstie Alley in STIII (can't stand Robin Curtis)."

So Spock, just barely a teenager, has to have sex with a hot chic..OR..he will die. That would be one heck of a line to use a the local pup. "Hey babe, if I don't have sex with you, right now, the world will crumble apart and we will all die"

I thought that she should have ended up pregnant and had Spock's "Bastard" child. It would have been a perfect set up for a new character in TNG's time line..IMO...

Alas, what an opportunity they wasted.

Something is wrong with you.

Something is wrong with me, too, because I can see what you're saying.

Although, if Vulcans have enough control over their bodies that they can will themselves to die, she probably could have just not become pregnant.

Saavik is Vulcan/Romulan, not Bene Gesserit.

Well, I was once a fan of soaps, specifically General Hospital (Hence my screen name)..so, I am all for Soap Opera antics..in fact, DS9 to me, was just a big soap opera...overlaping storylines AND characters....they did it good..

I agree they did the soap elements pretty well, with some story arcs taking months or years to resolve... too bad I didn't like most of the characters.

What STAR TREK VI needed was a vengeful Saavik come to wreak vengeance on Spock and the Enterprise-A crew for leaving her on Vulcan with a bunch of puritanical, chaste elders and priests.

Valeris was originally supposed to be Saavik, as I recall...
