Reactions and Reviews
1986
"Always Tomorrow," by Donna Rose Vanderlaan, left me feeling angry and as though someone had 'jerked my chain' — led me up a path and not given me reward. Yet, it has its moments and it is competently written. Whatever else I can say, the story of Spock's recovery after Fal Tor Pan, and the subsequent interference 'on his behalf by Sarek, affected me. In that respect, the story is very successful. I simply found myself disagreeing with the author's view of Vulcan's and her solution to the problem presented. [1]
1992
In most post-TSFS stories. Kirk fears that the Vulcans will tamper with Spock's mind, but those fears turn out to be groundless. In this case, they weren't and that is what makes 'Always Tomorrow" unusual. I loved McCoy's wry comment at the end about hope being the only thing left in Pandora's box and that if he didn't have hope he couldn't be a Doctor. That's too true. I didn't like McCoy's comparison of Spock's katra to a package, and I find it difficult to imagine now someone can carry someone else's soul without being affected by it inedibly. [2]
