I actually think she did a really good job as Saavik. Vulcans are one of those races which seem easy to do, but are really hard to pull off. (as SFDebris likes to say: "emotionless doesn't mean lifeless")

On my rank of best on-screen Vulcans it's...
0. Leonard Nimoy (obviously set the standard)
1. Tim Russ
2. Mark Lenard
3. Kristie Alley

(And she only loses to Mark because he just got more screentime overall to do more and so barely edges her out.)

Farewell our fair lady. Thank you for giving us a shining moment of your talent.

Nimoy needs to lose a few points because he destroyed the nude pics Kim Katrall took on the Enterprise bridge during filming of Undiscovered Country. Then he publishes a book full pictures of fat naked women. Chubby chasers are illogical.

In Nimoy's defense: the book he published was meant to be an actual art book fully intended for publication as such. Kim's nudes were behind the scenes shenanigans that if ever released had a high chance of actually hurting the franchise's brand.
But yeah, that's a shame.

Dunno how that played out, but if she asked him to destroy them because she thought better of it, then good on him.

iirc it was, like, the director of photography or somebody did them with her off hours, Spock got wind of it, read them the riot act, and had all destroyed

And the fact that he still surpports the party who put him into those camps. I mean it's not like the democrat party disown FDR. They still praise FDR today. So I wouldn't blame those people.

Not to mention that the attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't just "out of the blue". The foreign policy the US had in place and all the sanctions we had on Japan kind of backed them into a corner. We were fucking around with world shit without directly getting involved. Hell, we were busy shooting down Japs in the South Pacific to the point where they couldn't do fuck all in the air. Pearl Harbor was very much a retaliation based on what we were doing to Japan.

Every time I read some faggot try to retroactively justify the unprovoked murder of Americans, I want to legitimately smash their toes with a claw hammer. By some faggot, I mean you.

"unprovoked". LOL. Also pretending Americans were the "good bois who diddu nuffin".

A Democrat was in charge of the country at the time the war started.

Yes, we were morally obligated to sell them oil. That's how business works, on morals. There was no public pressure behind it at all because Japan wasn't up to shit in China that would make Obama blush while he bombs more brown kids.

Yea, our government was up to dumb shit and trying to instigate but not selling someone oil doesn't equate to them walking up behind you and smashing you in the back of the head with a crowbar. We should have never been in that war to begin with, but alas that is a different argument.

tl;dr people who try to say Japan was justified in Pearl Harbor should take some shotgun mouthwash.

The US should've gotten involved much, much earlier when Germany started bombing the British (you know, one of our ALLIES) to shit, but our government was too much of a pussy to even do anything.
