Reactions and Reviews
1984
Spock regrets the waste of all Kirk's 'potential'. He has the notion to seek out any possible child of Kirk's who may he in need of care and bring it up between then. As the story develops it becomes apparent that this desire is not as straightforward as it appears; both men are experiencing guilt feelings, imagining their relationship to be limiting the other's life. Each deals perceptively with the other's guilt and after much discussion and more soul-baring they come to the heart of the situation and the story is concluded in bed; where better? As in the second story, it is Spock who proves to be the more impatient, Kirk again doing most of the worrying. I liked these hints of role-reversal. It is very true that we got like those we live with.[1]
Spock, troubled by the price he and Kirk pay to maintain their relationship, makes an outrageous suggestion. This forces both men to evaluate both What they have and what they can't have. A thoughtful, realistic story with some delightful lines.[2]
