Reactions and Reviews
1982
‘Both Sides Now’ [part 2] – this sequel is not QUITE successful in standing alone, but the major difficulty lies in a feeling of not knowing the new character, Moreau, well enough to empathize with him fully. Fortunately, the story mostly focuses on Kirk and Spock learning to deal with their new bonding and increased powers. Some of the ideas presented here are quite intriguing. [1]
The third part of a trilogy. Kirk and Spock have both sacrificed themselves to a formless alien invader from another universe to save our (their?) universe. This alien is the 'Moreau Effect' which in part 2 assumes human form. The three, Kirk, Spock and Moreau are linked telepathically and have other supernatural powers. Part 3 explores Kirk's inability to cope with the closeness they share. [2]
1990
Seven years have passed since Kirk and Spock disappeared into the Moreau Effect. McCoy believes them dead, but he is troubled by dreams in which Kirk and Spock are calling to him. When Terra-forming is discovered on a faraway planet, McCoy and Scotty investigate and find their two friends and Moreau who has assumed human form. As they return to civilization, McCoy feels the alien in the strange relationship shared by Kirk, Spock and Moreau. [3]
