Reactions and Reviews
A mishmash of banality and maudlin sentimentality. The author so distorts the Vulcan's personality so much that he seems more like St. Francis of Assisi in ears! [1]
My Daddy, Mr. Spock / Despite the title, a pervading smarminess, and some silly characterization, a pretty good little story. Enterprise rescues an orphaned, Vulcan/Human girl who has been raised fully human. She gloms onto Spock, who is wildly uncomfortable with her, but when he brings her to tears with rebuffs - which nearly alienates all his friends as well - he acknowledges his feelings of envy and ends up adopting her. It does raise the point that fanzine writers often are unable to allow Spock to be Spock - he has to become human to be acceptable. [2]
