Reactions and Reviews

WAITING by Charlotte Frost will appeal to anyone who saw a romantic spark between Kirk and Gillian Taylor in ST 4. Because I didn't see this spark, the story doesn't really interest me. But if you did see the chemistry Charlotte depicts in her story, you might find Gillian's reaction to her discovery that Kirk and Spock are lovers an interesting tale. [1]

Lovely short story focused only on Kirk’s conversation with Gillian (whale-woman). He meets her at a gala party and they go to her apartment where she comes on to him. In a compassionate rebuff, Kirk tells her about his relationship with Spock. Gillian reveals her loneliness and her difficulties in adjusting to this time period. Not much else—just a nice intimate vignette from a wonderful author. [2]
