Reactions and Reviews
TEMPTATION focuses on the newly developed intimate relationship between Kirk and Spock, and Spock's insecurities about its permanence. The action revolves around a ship-wide chess, tournament and Spock's efforts to keep Kirk away from temptation. Although the dialogue is a little saccharine in places, the story, as a whole, is well balanced. [1]
Monica Viola's "Temptations" is a silly story where Spock secretly hopes that new lover Kirk loses in the preliminary matches of a chess tournament, because he doesn't want Kirk to go to Wrigley's where the final match will be held, fearing the captain will find female entertainment there. I find such insecurities in Spock endearing, though I thought his reaction to the situation was over-dramatized. [2]
