If some of the principal characters were not getting that much, maybe they should have received more. Considering the amount that was made from the box office, they could have afforded it! It is always much more effective to keep the same actors or actresses for an established role! Kristie Alley in my opinion established the Saavik role in TWOK. "Live Long and Prosper!" Michael N.
