[net.startrek] Spock's Pon Farr, just the beginning

<FEED HIM!!>

Is everyone on this net missing something, or did I when i saw
the TV "Amok Time" 3 times?
I thought the finger-interleaving was just the
betrothal/engagement procedure
that vulcans do when about 12 years old,
and that later in adulthood their "blood burns"
for the one to whom they are pre-wed.  This was VERY well
explained in "Amok Time."
I submit that Saavik & Spock-boy did NOT "ball" and she is not P.G,
but rather that the next time the restored Spock runs amok,
it will be for Saavik.
Of course this will happen while the Exelsior's crew is up to its
shields in Klingons.... Vger,, where
are you?    mike k
