Kirstie Alley

The Vulture article at least mentioned Kirstie Alley's role as Saavik in ST:TWOK, but so far no other mainstream outlet has. It's her portrayal of Saavik that was and is at the front of my mind whenever I think of the character. The Saavik in "Elective Affinities" is 100 percent KA, and if Robin Curtis's portrayal was all I had to go on, I probably would never have written the story. (Ditto for the epilogue to Any Other Lifetime.)
