Reactions and Reviews
This is, essentially, a 'will-they-won't-they-tell-each-other-their-feelings?' story; it is related to the poem "The Chess Match" in NOME 6. In Mirror Afterthoughts the gradual build-up of tensinn & the description of Kirk's anxiety is masterful. I was certainly sweating right alonside him - the story evoked a distinct visceral reaction. Kirk & Spock doubletalk & allude their way thru the whole piece & Spock is just superb, falling into silence at the most eloquent moments. I found the whole thing an absolute delight. [1]
