Reactions and Reviews

1997

Mirror Kirk and gang are transported to our universe. MK (mirror Kirk) goes to our Kirk's cabin and discovers some personal logs where Kirk reveals he's in love with Spock.

So MK decides this Spock is easy pickings. However, it seems the tables turned and Spock penetrates MK. When MK asks if he can be the penetrator "next time", Spock says he can but only if he melds with him. But MK doesn't want Spock to know who he really is, so he says he'll think about it.

I relate all this because I really enjoyed the whole situation. I thought it was an excellent premise for a story and I liked their interaction.

The only difficulty I had was with a too crass Kirk. I know this is mirror Kirk and he's supposed to be real nasty, but this one swaggers in front of his cohorts bragging about his control over Spock like he doesn't mean anything except a piece of ass. Which would be totally fine if he changed by the end, but I'm not sure he does.

Kirk decides to let Spock bond with him and then afterward hell tell him he's the other.

There's a really hot sex scene and just when Kirk's about to climax, Spock initiates the mind-meld and discovers it's really MK, so Spock makes him pass out before they climax. It sounds weird, but it was neat.
