Kirstie Alley is the worst vulcan ever

[Lethe]

[mainegreen]

1. That's probably where she picked up her space alien based cult though!

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

2. I see two reasons to disagree with you...

:7

[Lethe]

4. illogical

:evilgrin:

[LeftyMom]

3. Yep.

That's definitely true.

[Elidor]

5. If she'd waited a few years, we could have had

Fat Vulcan Actress

[LeftyMom]

6. Best. Flamewar. Ever.

:woohoo:

[Lethe]

13. vulcans are way hotter

because they are so cold-hearted

[everythingsxen]

7. I thought she was pretty hot as a vulcan...

:shrug:

[Archae]

8. Saavik was half-Romulan...

(Major Trek geek here)

[Deja Q]

9. But not stated in any of the movies.

(hence Star Trek TNG could come up with "The Drumhead" where a half-Romulan gets booted out just because he's got some Romulan blood and the dude lied to get into the academy and not break continuity... )

[Lethe]

12. but werent romulans and vulcans close ancestors?

i hear a lot of romulans are type II diabetic

[Kutjara]

21. Yes, the Romulans were Vulcans who left Vulcan...

...and colonized Romulus when Vulcan society decided to embrace logic and purge emotions. The Romulans embrace emotion and passion, which is why they are more warlike and impulsive than their Vulcan cousins.

10. but that movie was probably my favorite of all of them

and Khan was a great villain

[Floogeldy]

16. Freepers hate independent women, especially "fat" ones.

See above.

:smoke:

[barb162]

17. A lot of people dislike fat people

(never checked their political status though)

Obese people have to fight a lot of discrimination just walking down the street!

[Floogeldy]

11. Nothing hates Hollywood as much as The Lounge.

Ironic. Isn't it?

:smoke:

[MoseyWalker]

14. she was purty

and has a brain and the ability to lose weight while being paid a gazillion bucks.

what more do you want?

[baldguy]

15. Compared to who?

[hickman]

18. Very much the worst ever.

She was so embarrassed that she had to be in that movie! She wouldn't be in the next one and has denied all involvement in Star Trek. Pretension has always defined her.

[hfojvt]

22. My impression was that that movie made her a star

after that she was on Cheers and wanted too much money to be in the next one. The elevator scene where she lets her hair down - OH. MY. GOD. I was slain. Completely slain. She became my favorite Vulcan at that point. Plus that scene at the end where Kirk speaks at Spock's funeral and says Spock was the most human, and Saavik rolls her eyes, like 'is it necessary to insult the guy at his own funeral?' hi-frigging-larious. To me, she was the highlight of a movie I did not particularly care for. It was a letdown when she was replaced in the 3rd movie.

[hickman]

23. I have no respect for actors that trash the films that they've been in.

Susan Sarandon has always defended everything she has ever been in. She took the money, she defends the work. But then again, Susan Sarandon, Kristie Alley, apples and kudzu.

[hfojvt]

24. I don't pay that much attention to what they say off screen

Plus, if she trashes a movie that I don't like, then I am down with that. It's not like she was in Star Trek IV or Back to the Future or something.

[WhollyHeretic]

19. Some of the worst casting I've ever seen

[WCGreen]

20. Duuuu... I'd like to mind meld with her......

[billyskank]

25. They definitely wrote her character wrong

Right at the start of the film, she says "damn!" And through the rest of the film she seems bothered by her performance in the Kobayashi Maru test. Not Vulcan behaviour at all.

[Robeson]

26. Kirstie who?....
