Yes, actually, that was one of the things I loved about this. I was thinking, as I was reading: "But...he does go. They weren't able to show him..." But you changed it! *g* \o/

Well, of course! *g* I've never been able to keep any of my pairings apart for very long. ;-)

I remember being in the theater, watching the first showing of ST: The Motion Picture, and being really upset that Spock had gone to Gol. *g*

Upset is a word and a half for it. I was livid! *g* Mostly, I tend to ignore the movies in my stories (I think I've done all of three that followed movie canon.)
