Summary

As Leonard McCoy is about to board the Enterprise for the 5 year mission, he looks back on the life he is leaving and meets Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock for the first time.

Reactions and Reviews

On the eve of his departure for a new life in Starfleet, McCoy is busy drowning his recent sorrows -- his demented wife Arianna having murdered his female colleague in a fit of unwarranted jealousy -- when he is called upon to rescue his new captain from unseemly drunkenness. Also sets up the hostilities between Spock and McCoy. Not one of Ingrid's best, and nothing much really happens here. [1]

'No Time for Past Regrets' shows us McCoy as he is joining the crew and we get an inside on why McCoy and Spock may have difficulty being open with each other. [2]

Ingrid Cross' "No Time for Past Regrets" is a sensitive and wise portrait of the first meeting of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. [3]
