[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Well, when it was mentioned in ST3, Saavik said that Vulcan males must go through [i]pon farr[/i] "every seventh year of their adult lives". However, if it's the result of their pent-up emotions, it wouldn't make sense for the females not to have the same deal. In fact, Peter David makes great plot use of this in the "New Frontier" series. So the logical (HA!) conclusion is that one of the qualifiers that Saavik used doesn't apply to females as it does to males. So it could be a different time cycle: every nine years, or every three, or whatever. Or perhaps it doesn't have anything to do with adult years with the females, though the idea of a six year old having to deal with [i]pon farr[/i] is a bit much for me. My guess is that the females don't have to deal with it every seven years of their adult life like the males do because they eventually (around, say, 160) hit menopause. Just a guess. [/QB][/QUOTE]
