His dad is half-human, his mom is half-romulan. The fact that he isn't vaporizing everyone in the chamber is a miracle on its own.

"The Hooping haff" must be strong.
Imagine the bullying.
That's awesome. If anyone has seen the McCoy "Aren't You forgetting someone?' meme that I keep hearing about, please post it here.
Savvik is not half Romulan only in novels. It would violate Canon established in Balance of Terror. Regardless this was amazinHis dad is half-human, his mom is half-romulan. The fact that he isn't vaporizing everyone in the chamber is a miracle on its own.
She was originally written as half-Romulan in Wrath of Khan, and Spock’s line indicating this was shot.
Could it have been a Tasha Yar situation? One of her parents being captured during or after the war, and then had a child with a Romulan citizen.
Sometime after Balance of Terror, diplomatic relations resumed with the Romulans and there was a little more traffic across the neutral zone, allowing Saavik to visit Vulcan and join starfleet. By the 2290s there was a fully fledged Romulan ambassador, so I presume things became friendlier at some point.

Very possible.
IIRC, the DC Comics Trek series had an issue or two about her Romulan heritage. It's been several lifetimes since I read it, so I have zero recollection of any details, but I do remember that the cover art indicated she came into contact with Romulans, went full-on feral Terminatrix and mopped the floor with them, or something to that effect.
Maybe someone here recalls this storyline more completely than I can right now.

There was also Caithlin Dar on Nimbus III in TFF. One-quarter Human/three-quarters Romulan. While her familial nature was never specifically mentioned on-screen (but written into her backstory by Bennett and Shatner and mentioned in the novelization), I don't think I've ever known any Romulan in all of Canon to have an Irish first name. Or any first name at all, for that matter.
She seemed about Saavik's age, plus/minus a few years.
I just noticed that in lieu of creating the Nemesis bridge, the 2379 Enterprise-E lets you view the exterior of the ship like they did with some of the other hero ships. 
It would be fun if they make a version of the Nemesis Bridge after the front wall was destroyed by the Scimitar’s torpedoes where you could walk onto the hull.I just noticed that in lieu of creating the Nemesis bridge, the 2379 Enterprise-E lets you view the exterior of the ship like they did with some of the other hero ships.
We really are so far beyond that. It seems to me that a whole lot of was established in Balance of Terror has been contradicted by this point.

Or better yet, the Enterprise from First Contact, and you can walk around on the hull and release the main deflector dish.
¿Por que no los dos?
EDIT:
I was just browsing thru the Archive again, and saw they’re prepping some sort of model for the TMP Marvel Comics adaption. That makes me hope they’ll get around to modeling the first DC Comics refit Enterprise at some point. We got to see a lot of the inside of that ship over 56 issues.

Why would this violate BoT? We know that the Earth ship's crew was surprised at what Romulans look like. We don't know that Romulans hadn't grabbed some Vulcans in covert border raids. In the TWOK novel, sorry, the TSFS novel Saavik noted that if she ever found her Romulan parent she would duel that Romulan to the death. Her parentage was not voluntary.
Saavik just has to have come to the Federation sometime in the last 15 years.
That was one of the (limited) highlights of EF2
We better get to see flames coming out of the back of the nacelles and shuttlebay.
Boy, those Gold Key comics were sure... something:We better get to see flames coming out of the back of the nacelles and shuttlebay.
