what's the plot thread he mentions that's been dangling for 40 years? Is that Spock's son behind Saavik or something?

I enjoyed the original video but thought, "You know what this serene, touching video needs? A harsh voiceover explaining it to me while the narrator reminds us why he doesn't watch Star Trek anymore."

That’s what I understood it as.

I never looked it up, but I always figured Spock and Saavik were Vulcan banging on the Genesis planet when they were doing that weird finger thing.

In Star Trek III Spock was aging rapidly and going through Pom Farr and Saavik likely helped him through it. At the beginning of Star Trek IV, she stays on Vulcan with Spock’s mom.

IIRC, I think the idea was supposed to be that she did have Spock’s child, BUT, Nimoy decided against including that storyline in the movie. So…..

I titled it “Drinkers take…”.

The OP had the link to the Unification vid.

If you have no interest in watching a review, don’t watch.

You’re going out of your way to be annoying.

—that’s their son standing behind her when Kirk walks past Saavik. At least, that’s what some commentary says

Imagine being callous and cold hearted to unification. Drinker has problems.
