Reactions and Reviews
Despite continued commendations from Star Fleet and adulation by the public, Kirk has lost confidence after some of his recent decisions resulted in a number of deaths and a near-disaster for the ship. Sent to Earth on home leave, he decides to resign, over McCoy's objections. On the return trip aboard a Star Fleet training vessel, Kirk is forced to take over during an attack by Orions, and consequently revises his decision. [1]
'A Small Voice in the Distance' treats Spock in the same way that 'Only Human' by Ginna LaCroix does Kirk -- as fallible beings who, confronted by a perceived omission in their duty, learn, and go on. [2]
