Reactions and Reviews
1982
‘Homecoming’ – this story marks the beginning of the ‘Let’s Get Metaphysical’ part of the zine. Readers should be aware that, with one noticeable exception, all the rest of the stories are mainly concerned with Kirk and Spock coming to realize the incredible depth of their feelings for each other. Not that this is a bad thing, mind you, but reading over 100 pages of it in a row can be emotionally draining. In this piece, Kirk and Spock go on a pilgrimage, become bondmates, and find they are going to be the next Vulcan messiahs. If that doesn’t sound too outlandish for you, you’ll probably enjoy the story [Homecoming] very much, as it IS competently written. [1]
'The Homecoming' by Merle Decker is one of those stories which centres around yet another Vulcan traditional ceremony. (Dorothy Fontana has a lot to answer for). It is woven around a rather nice Vulcan legend and contains a fascinating reason for the existence of Pon Farr.[2]
1998
Kirk and Spock enter in a Shi-Vai, a very particular pre-reform Vulcan bond. Intriguing. Mysticism, exploration of self makes it very compelling. I liked the idea that Vulcan’s pon farr grew out of their own psyche by totally rejecting emotion and solely embracing logic. [3]
