I would most definitely prefer Kirstie Alley (she's the one in ST II - right?).
I thought that she was much more 'Vulcan'.   That combined with the slight
Romulan twinge was quite interesting.  Robin Curtis didn't have Vulcan 
features, both physically and emotionally.  She seemed very 'round', and I
expect Vulcans to be gaunt and angular.  Her performance as a Vulcan was
very poor.  There seemed to be little attempt to even appear emotionless.

Cheers,
