So... you'd have coped better with a series of telemovies led by Saavik and David, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura and Chekov, plus occasional appearances by Admiral Kirk sending them off on missions?

No, I'm not saying that. Actually I think that would have just been kinda dumb... cause that's just taking two characters and outright replacing them. What I'm saying is that I still dislike that they killed David Marcus, even after hearing reasons why they did it. I completely understand how Kirk losing the Enterprise and his son helps the drama and plot, especially since it has the karmic balance to it. But that doesn't make me like it any more than I did two days ago...
Not much choice if Shatner and Nimoy decided enough was enough but there was still sufficient interest in an ongoing ST series. It was the plan for "ST: Phase II", too, with Xon replacing Spock and Will Decker groomed to take the centre seat if Shatner decided to promote Kirk to guest appearances as an admiral after the first 13 episodes.
It wasn't the only time Kirstie Alley would have replaced someone: she replaced Shelley Long, as Sam's love/hate interest in "Cheers", and the ratings hardly blinked.
I don't know, they do pretty much wipe out all life on Earth in IV. Granted, because of time travel, that all unhappens, but STILL...
But that's completely beyond the point... All I was doing was saying that I disliked him dying.

We're not allowed to go beyond the point now? TrekBBS will never survive!
You said replacing the characters was dumb. I was responding to that point.

Nevermind.
