more wummins darnit

So on my wish list for the next Trek movie is that there'll be more than one woman with a substantial role. (And that she'll have a Bechdel test passing conversation with Uhura...though since I can only recall one of those out of the past eleven Trek movies, I'm not exactly optimistic there.)

But another woman is totally not a crazy thought, despite the vast cast, for excepting ST:V, all the original Trek movies managed to reach the dizzying heights of having two, sometimes even three, women with substantial roles.

So here's a poll, for I am curious:

[Poll #1404364]

Personally, it's Saavik for me, Alley!Saavik specifically. And I would so love a friendship between Saavik and Uhura, (but I've also got horrid visions of some godawful love triangle with Spock if they ever brought her back).

Or Gaila in Engineering would be nifty. Cause Gaila is great (and taraljc is hosting a comment!fic extravaganza to this effect, yo) and I can't recall seeing a single female engineer in TOS plus movies.
