I just got home from my 2 days worth of VegasCon! I could only go to 2 due to darn work, but I have to be able to pay for all those autographs somehow!

Nice reporting, Anthony! You capture the escense of being there quite faithfully! Nice to be able to re-live those treasured moments! I’m sorry that I was unable to track you down :(

re: #49 Those pics are actually quite good, considering the lighting conditions within the convention center are good for the event itself, but not so much for photography. I gave up years ago of ever being able to get any really good quality photos of the stars on stage, even using special camera settings and close-up lenses.

The pics look like they were taken with a camera phone.

Last night’s Eperience Party was fun. Food seemed better than in previous years but then maybe I was just hungier having not eaten all day. :) Suzie Plakson (sp?) has a great voice. One more complaint was that there weren’t enough places for everyone to sit so many of us ended up eating while standing. I did enjoy Nichelle Nichols performance a great deal. She can still sing and looks amazing.

I did learn one thing. Don’t go on a motion ride directly after drinking a Warp Core Breach.

#35—-I always just imagined that Saavik and Spock ended up together. It made sense to me. Both were “outcast” to some degree—or at least “alien” in two worlds. Spock meant a great deal to Saavik, and planned or not, they were “bonded” on the Genesis planet. I think Spock would find such a union completely logical, particularly “in her condition” (whether her child was a result of their Pon Farr encounter or her affair with David Marcus) after the events on Genesis.
I cannot see Nero being the spawn of Spock and Saavik, though. I can hardly imagine any other scenario than such a child being raised on Vulcan.You know how I feel about Spock and the Romulan commander, however. Alas, it is probably not to be.
As much fun as that would be for TOS fans, it would require some sort of explanation to the average moviegoer—not only as to who the mother was, but as to why Nero would be so angry with his absentee father (presumably over his and his mother’s “place” in Romulan society after “The Enterprise Incident”).

#36—Me too. Without the backstory, Saavik comes off as simply a poorly portrayed Vulcan.

#44—-What’s wrong with “space bimbos”?

James Kirk made a career out of spending time with them!

Whether or not Alley’s performance would have made more sense with the deleted scenes or not doesn’t really change my opinion. Sense or no sense, it just wasn’t as enjoyable. To this viewer, anyway, she came off as a bit of a space bimbo.
