Christopher Lloyd was very convincing as a Klingon Commander, if you can get past his humor in "Back to the Future". I thought Robin Curtis gave a fine performance as Lt. Saavik. I personally like Kirstie Alley, only because of some prior work I've seen her in. Also, the destruction of the Enterprise was a very good move on Kirk's part. Don't you think so?

Some folks do like Robin better than Kirstie. I just think the casting change was too jarring since their personalities from one movie to the next seemed so different. Good points, Sam.

It has been over fifteen years since I read it, though, so I could be wrong. (That, and I'm just too lazy to go dig it out and search through it again right now LOL.)

As much as I love Kirstie Alley, I love Robin more. I wouldn't have had a problem with KA staying on in the role-- she portrayed a younger, stiffer Saavik better-- but Robin's performance was the more relaxed action of a woman away from her mentor (Spock) for the first time and also in love (according to the novelization). But I know a lot of people felt the way you do about the role. Nick- I disagree. As much as I love Kirstie Alley, I love Robin more.
