A planet has just been discovered around 40 Eridani A, the star associated with the Vulcan homeworld in Star Trek lore.

Did they ever locate Koothrapali's little planet?

Replacement Saavik was not as hot as original Saavik.

Original Saavik didn't age very gracefully . . .

Back when Star Trek III came out, I would have agreed.   But after awhile my thoughts changed.  Robin Curtis was actually a better Vulcan.

I never understood why Kirstie Ally wasn't given Vulcan eyebrows for THE WRATH OF KHAN movie .... but that's not why I decided Curtis was the superior Saavik.

I guess she's had her ups and down WRT weight.

I had brief spasms of being in love with her in Cheers, but I also had brief spasms of being in love with Shelley Long.  I was in constant conflict.

Poor me.

I will still watch a Shelley Long movie, no matter how stupid and infantile it may be.

Beverly Hills Troop was cute.

.... and I've now reached the extent of the Shelley Long movies I know.
