Was Captain Styles of the Excelsior perhaps Lieutenant Styles from the
episode (forget the title) in which they first meet the Romulans?  He was
the fellow who hated Romulans because his grandfather had been in the
First Romulan War, and who didn't trust Spock's pointy ears especially
when they got the Romulans on video.

According to the book, the computer starts permanent video recordings in
critical areas whenever there is a red alert, and otherwise keeps a tape
loop of a few minutes' duration.

You may have noticed my flaming earlier about the wonderful Saavik
character in the ST2 and ST3 books as opposed to the lousy portrayal in
the films.  I did a little introspecting and noticed I was reacting to
Saavik in about the same way that female fans have traditionally reacted
to Spock... Fascinating.  `:-)

Why don't they let Vonda McIntyre write the movies and send Harve Bennett
off to do publicity or something?
