Star Trek: Which Saavik to you prefer?

[Mikey]

Robin Curtis for me

[Captain]

Yep, Valeris was originally Saavik. Two things happened though. First, Nimoy thought the fans might not like seeing Saavik as a villian, and two, Nick Meyer would only use Kirstie Alley as Saavik. She wouldnt return, Nimoy won the battle, and a new character was created.

As for favorite Saavik...I vote for Robin Curtis. Alley was a bit better with the part, but even then she was showing signs of the wingnut she would turn into.

I had heard that Kim Catrell's character was originally supposed to be Saavik.
