[net.comics] Saavik's *pon farr* ?

boyajian@akov68.DEC (Jerry Boyajian) (06/02/84)

I couldn't help but notice that there is a line in THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK that
seems to invalidate a recent storyline in the STAR TREK comic book.

<Aside: I really don't think that there should be that much trouble shoehorning
the extant run of the comic in between STII and III. It's not *that* critical
that III take place right after II (oh, shit! Except that in the comic, the
*Enterprise* has been repaired --- unless in the latest issue, it got blasted
again --- and McCoy would have to have been acting strangely. Never mind.).>

In a recent issue of the comic, Saavik is shown going through *pon farr*, but in
TSFS, she mentions to David that *pon farr* is something that Vulcan *males* go
through every seven years of their adult life. (And don't say that the females
have a different cycle; I won't buy that one)
