* the novelization by Roddenberry was much better than the movie itself

* their choice would be for fans to base their fanfic on the book, not the movie
* it's a cold movie with poor special effects

The Advocate plan to free them has failed completely, and the remaining Advocates are being bitterly persecuted and prosecuted by the Government's officials. These officials have been much heartened by a recent event, the torching of the Detention Compounds (where our heroes are being held) by persons unknown; pinning the fire on an Advocate is no trouble at all. The Advocate movement is in a definite fix.") (Star Trek) (18)

Yet she is not a Vulcan but human. Her records show she had early schooling on Vulcan, and once knew Spock. In fact, it was she who followed Spock when he left home, begging him to say his goodbyes to Amanda. While investigating a distress signal, the crew is captured by aliens who can't speak. They want McCoy to transplant the Enterprise crew's vocal cords into their bodies so Kirk and McCoy manage to escape before the operations start.") (99)
