Reactions and Reviews

Unknown Date

Spock and Scott, left aboard alone to work on some repairs, stop for a break and discover that Tranya is intoxicating to Vulcans. The computer, whose feminine personality is due to be changed, persuades Spock to save her. Short and funny.[1]

1977

‘… Meanwhile…’ which deals with Spock and Scotty, who are the only ones left on the Enterprise while the ship is orbiting around Earth, receiving repairs. To tell you more would spoil the delight the story has to offer. It gives some insight to the Spock/Scott [2] relationship of which we see so little in other zines. [3]

'Meanwhile' is just a connecting story to keep the continuity of the zine intact. It's not long, but it's a nice character study between Scott and Spock, who are on an empty ship during a layover for engine repair. [4]

Another Spock-gets-drunk story. Dodge cannot write a really bad story, no matter how she tries, but good dialogue doesn't save this one. [5]
