More likely a future romance between Kirk's son and Sulu than Saavik.

Robin Curtis was much more realistic in her portrayal of a Vulcan/ Romulan mix. Kirstie did an OK job, but was emotionally "wishy-washy" in an almost weak way. If you read the novels & view classic Trek and Next Generation shows, Romulans are emotional, but stoic and passionate. They try to portray strength. Robin did a pretty good job of that. Her stoicism fit in with typical Romulans and Vulcans. Too many people are judging by the "cuteness factor" instead of quality. Robin's acting = an A+

Paramount wanted Kirstie Alley to reprise the role in ST3. But she had got positive reviews for her work in ST2 and a TV movie she had made, so her asking price was more than they were willing to pay.

the fact she was half romulan was in the film's novelization, out at the time. So was a scene where she tampered with the burial tube before launch.

@ACLTony well, maybe people doesn't know that she was half Romulan.

@Xerxes2005= Some people say, they are more like Nazis.

I think both actresses did a terrific job with the clues they were given about the character- Kirstie Alley ran with the "none of the facial immobility of a Vulcan" script note and made that work, while Robin Curtis' more stoic version fitted well into the context of the third movie- I don't find it unlikely that also Saavik matured/became more stoic when Spock died, although I think Curtis sounded slightly TOO unemotional at the part when Saavik told Kirk that David was dead.

@spacebumwa U may hav a better memory of the book than I. Did it explain how they came to boff given her logic? And I am wondering, did u picture the Kirstie Alley Saavik or the Robin Curtis Saavik?

[spacebumwa]

@yourworsthell Yes, he knew Kirk was his father. He even calls him an "overgrown boy scout" to his mother.

@LovingScrubbies

I read that book. She had a tattoo on her shoulder, and explained to him after uhhh, they boffed that she grew up on a slave colony. And, that Spock had rescued her when she was a child.

In the novelization of Star Trek III they did boff.
