Reactions and Reviews

The best thing about this TSPS story is the Spock dialogue. There are some reaily great Spock lines like: I fail to see what this touching has to do with my request." Otherwise, however, it's a fairly routine and predictable story line. I do have a few nits to pick. In military terms "junior officer" means an officer of junior grade -- such as an Ensign or a Lieutenant. Spock was a senior command officer throughout the K/S reiationsnip -- either a Commander or a Captain. Therefore Kirk couid be charged with fraternization with a junior officer if he had a relationship with Uhura during the five year mission, but not for having one with Spock. I aiso had a problem with McCoy being given a drug for Vulcans because Spock was in his mind. Drugs also have an effect on the body. Did Kirk even think about what a Vulcan drug might do to McCoy's human metabolism? I liked Sarek bringing up the issue of Kirk's extradition. Many stories that deal with the events post-TSPS ignore that totally. I would have liked it even more if Sarek and Kirk had discussed the political/diplomatic ramifications of denying Starfleet's request for extradition. I think the story may be too narrowiy focused on Kirk's viewpoint, and that it could use more of a context.
