#star trek III: the search for spock

[lightshiningforth]

Same here. I know what they are implying and am choosing to reject it. I am willfully ignoring the implication that the man is Spock’s son and instead reading that exchange of glances as Kirk realizing that Saavik had a wonderful, full life in the time since he knew her.

To be honest, I similarly reject the idea that Spock and Saavik had sex in the cave on Genesis at all. The idea is repellent to me - he’s both her older mentor and, at the time, a teenage boy without a soul. Since Spock’s Pon Farr in “Amok Time” was resolved with strong emotion instead of sex, I choose to believe that Saavik helped Spock through the Genesis Pon Farr with a mind meld. She lent him her adult logic and strength, and while it was emotional and intimate, it wasn’t sexual.

(Again, I know what was implied. I know. I CHOOSE to read it another way, despite it all.)

I will reiterate, to me and on this blog, Saavik is still and always will be Spock's daughter and protege. I always pick and chose canon, so I choose Spirk and not that weird romance between her and Spock.

The Vulcan dude in the back in the Unification short film wasn't named, and while behind the scenes interviews would have him be the son conceived from Spock's Pon Farr on genesis, I'm staying with Nimoy on that one and not going in that direction.

On the other hand, the soft look on Jim's face when he recognized Saavik was also so very parental to me, in a "my kid is grown" type of way.

TLD:R - Saavik is still Spock's daughter to me

The fact that Leonard Nimoy had literally directed himself curled up in Kirks arms and yet yall couldn't call this movie even a little bit gay makes me giggle.

What trope is this, if not damsel in distress?? THAT'S HIS DAMSEL, RIGHT THERE .

The eye bags are the pockets

Kirk, to Spock’s Katra: That’s a beautiful Doctor you’re wearing.

Spock’s Katra, inside Bones: Thanks, it has pockets

I haven't seen a gifset about this in a while, so I made my own. Now my heart is filled with love too; of course, not as big as theirs.
