WHO'S PLAYING SAAVIK? If it isn't Kirstie Allen (?), then they had better drop the character. Having just read the novelizations again, I think that they really missed the boat in not showing us more of her background. This is a character that could carry a whole new crew on more adventures, and let Shatner and especially DeForest Kelly, and "Scotty" retire their characters without dooming the series. I'd like to look forward to many more Star Trek movies, or a new TV series, without having to have Shatner's blessing and salary involved. Anyone else think it's time for new blood to carry the ball?
