[net.movies] ST-2 'y' after you see it

larry (06/04/82)

	Well, what happens now??  The ST-2 movie certainly left the ST-3
writters a LOT of things to play with!  Will Kirk's son join him in the
Star Fleet?  Does Kirk renounce his promotion to Admiral, and take
command of the Enterprise?  And most important of all --what are they
going to do about Spock???  They have certainly left the door open for
his return... could be the Genesis "bomb" was still 're-matrixing' and
he gets re-vitalized.  Or maybe they'll follow the Star Wars lead and
we'll have an Obie One-Spock who fades in and out of peoples
imaginations??  I remember hearing for a long time that Lenord Nimoy was
tired of Spock, did they finally write him out?  But, I also thought
someone on the net here said that he'd already signed for ST-3, anybody
heard?  Who'll take over for him?  The new character, Saavin (butchered
in spelling I'm sure), seemed to be a 'command' officer, not a science
officer.  Maybe with Kirk's son, and this new Vulcan, they'll start
working in a new crew, two or three characters at a time.  Is Kirk next
to get it then?  He was awful pre-occupied with his "old-age" in this
one!

  I heard that Nimoy had it written into the script and into his contract
that "spock must die" -- he is tired of being rolecast into a very limited
acting style.
