The character is recast for Search for Spock and stays on Vulcan at the start of Voyage Home.
The traitor, in VI, is Valeris, a virtual clone of Saavik. Getting Ms Alley back as Saavik might have improved things. Valeris is played by Kim Catrell, now more famous for Sex in the City.
For more on Saavik read the Pandora Principle, possibly my fave original series Trek novel.

For more on Saavik read the Pandora Principle, possibly my fave original series Trek novel. I swear when I first saw that, I thought it read as "The Pandorica Pineapple..." >_< Onto a different topic... I find myself wishing that the peopel who redesigned the Enterprise for the reboot, would also give their takes on different ships, and put out a quasi non-canon book of these concepts. See what their takes on the refit Consitution, Excelsior, Miranda (Can take a wild guess at that), Constellation, Galaxy, Nebula, Intrepid, K'T'inga, Romulans BoP and Warbirds... new, reimagined old... whatever they wanna do. |

I've timer recorded Enterprise for the last 3 weeks waiting for a certain pair of episodes to come on. Last night the freeview box recorded half of one of them!

Phil, you make me sad. First your foolish opinions today on Desertion of the Dinobots and now this. I must think of a suitable punishment.

Hmmm. In a Mirror Darkly. That is the one with the Tholians and Evil Archer as I recall.
It did not pain me as much as other episodes I saw of that Season - giant laser gun on Mars can hold entire solar system hostage (because you know, the laser beam logically doesn't have a blind arc based on the mass of the planet it is mounted on...) or the Orion Slave Girls episode. Or the half a Borg episode.
I'm not saying that I actually think it is good mind you - just that it has stablemates which I feel are far, far worse.

"In the Mirror Darkly" has one... and only one redeeming factor.
Gorn.
Aside from that, it's a mirror universe episode, and enterprise. Two terrible tastes that are even more aweful together.
But... Gorn.
Star Trek desparately needs more Gorn.

I want more Gorn.

Oh Phil... Phil....
The Gorn and the magic gravity plating never used before or since in that way were dreadful.

The Gorn had just appeared when I had to turn over!

Shit CG Gorn made me sad. Rather damning that the 60's one was far more convincing.

I'm not a fan of the CG Gorn - it is all lean and raptory. I liked the fact that the 60's version was a slow, ponderous but utterly remoresless thing. It didn't run after Kirk, it didn't need to - it knew it would catch up to him eventually. The raptor-Gorn did not have the same screen presence.

I discovered yesterday, when I went to go see Jurassic Park, that AMC Theaters on the 25th, here in the US will be showing the HD remastered Best of Both Worlds twoparter, plus a behind the scenes featurette and gag real from the episodes.
On the big screen. What could be argued as the best two episodes of Star Trek.
I can barily contain my glee.
