This week on Thursday Night Geeks, we're diving into the Final Frontier with a legendary guest from Star Trek lore — the one and only Robin Curtis. Best known to fans for stepping into the role of the half-Vulcan, half-Romulan Lieutenant Saavik in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Robin brought a quiet strength and serene intensity to one of the franchise's most intriguing characters. We’ll talk with her about joining the Trek universe during such a pivotal cinematic moment, working under the direction of Leonard Nimoy, and what it was like stepping into the shoes of a beloved role with her own unique interpretation.
But the voyage doesn’t stop there — Robin also returned to Star Trek in a completely different role on The Next Generation, playing the enigmatic Vulcan diplomat Tallera in the two-part episode “Gambit.” We’ll explore her experiences portraying two distinct Vulcan characters across two very different Trek eras, and how the fandom continues to embrace her work decades later. It’s a celebration of legacy, fandom, and one of the most graceful figures in Trek history — don’t miss it!
