Reactions and Reviews

1989

I enjoyed the "ghost story" part very much, nice and mysterious and interesting. As a cure for Kirk's "blahs" I really didn't get the connection. A more realistic solution to the problem would make more sense if this is primarily about said blahs. As it stands, it's more like two good plots and stories that were combined when they would be better apart. [1]

ONLY THE WIND is the chilling story of a haunted train station that Kirk and Spock find themselves wandering into during leave. But this is not your usual shore leave yarn, in that the sexual aspects are minor indeed, and the characters undergo the type of conflict that anyone who's ever been in a relationship can sympathize with. By far, ONLY THE WIND was the most impressive piece in NT20. [2]
