Reactions and Reviews
Post-V'ger. Exploration of the estrangement of Spock and McCoy, from Spock's pov while trying to meditate. Spock seeks to "turn away" from the human contamination - nice emphasis on the smells, here - and recover the clean, dry logic of his recent time on Vulcan. But he is haunted by phrases from McCoy... "Capture God?" Visions of the encounter with V'ger blend with that of McCoy's battering at the hands of the Vians, and Spock experiences the chaos of McCoy's passionate loneliness, contrasting with the clean, sterile loneliness of V'ger. Much of this was unclear to me, but I liked it anyway - very evocative. Reconciliation occurs when McCoy tentatively approaches, and Spock requests to see the tapes of his new grandchild.[1]
In "Crossing Visions" by Joyce Tullock, Spock contemplates his relations with McCoy, providing clicks of insight into both characters and into the Canon for the reader. [2]
