"It should be noted, however, that if Saavik's mixed ancestry were to be made canon, it would violate the continuity created by the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Balance of Terror" (which takes place after Saavik's birth) in which Starfleet learns for the first time that Romulans resemble Vulcans, a fact that appears to be unknown to Vulcans as well.)" -- I wouldn't be surprised if Vulcans were ashamed of being related to Romulans and hid this fact from their fellow Federation members. :) Alensha 23:20, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Someone has really messed up the main image here. Can anyone track down the original uploaded file? I can't find it anymore. 23skidoo 00:33, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
There should be TWO images of the two ladies that played this part. I skimmed through several entries where the character is mentioned and the lady who played her second isn't even mentioned. Why the Hell not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.177.0.156 (talk) 15:50, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
I hear him saying something like "Mista" or "mister" Saavik. Does anyone know what Spock is saying?
I came here to read about it too. Kinda ridiculous, both Kirk and Spock call her mister. Why they call Uhura miss then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.33.234.238 (talk) 16:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Image:RobinCurtis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
NOTE: The Star Trek Storybook for III explicitly says Saavik is half-human and half-Vulcan -- admittedly, this is probably a slip, and definitely "non-canon". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.161.158 (talk) 14:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
NOTE2: I have a scan of the original ST IV promotional photo of Curtis in uniform/makeup as Saavik which was reproduced in the photo magazine for the movie, but the image is actually a promo photo from the movie. If it is permissible as fair-use, I could upload it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.189.161.158 (talk • contribs) 10:56, September 24, 2007
First she was a Lieutenant JG not a Lieutenant in all canon appearances and second none of the Star Trek character articles use rank in the title (neither do the ones for seaQuest DSV, JAG, Star Wars, etc.) Dr. Stantz (talk) 19:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree that the article is poorly written. I could re write it, but I have clashed with Wikinazis before when I have rewritten articles for clarity. (that's why I dont have a log in name anymore- I decided it was pointless).
If no one objects in a timely manner, I may clarify some sentences for readability. I promise not to take away anything, and may even add a bit here or there. I wish I had the old Starlog magazines of the time to quote directly, but I could add the general knowledge that: A> "Someone stupid told Alley to cry" Leonard Nimoy ~ I Am Spock. B> Alley did not know how to play the character (her own admission, confirmed by Nimoy) BUT that Nimoy supported her entirely (confirmed by Nimoy in I Am Spock). etc etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 16:38, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
According to the commentary on the latest version of the Star Trek IV DVD, Saavik is indeed pregnant with Spock's child, per Harve Bennett. According to Nimoy, the actor is the keeper of the character. According to tradition, Gene was the last word. Gene is dead, Harve is alive. I'm going with Harve on this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 07:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
The section "Fictional biography" contains a whole back and forth about what is canon and non-canon and arguments about whether or not this violates continuity. It's a mess of speculation and large chunks of it should be removed. The article should stick to what reliable sources actually say. -- 109.79.168.149 (talk) 19:17, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
