Reactions and Reviews

Fun version of our Enterprise trio meeting up with Sherlock Holmes. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy go downplanet to explore an alternate-universe Earth. Spock, in Holmesian garb, is almost immediately abducted by thugs who think he is Holmes and insist that he find and dispose of Jack the Ripper, who is interfering with their crime businesses. Meanwhile, the real Holmes and Watson meet up with Kirk and McCoy and become involved in an heiress's interesting dilemma of trying to sort out which of three claimants is really her long-lost cousin. It's all wrapped up quite nicely with the help of our heroes. Back on Enterprise, they ponder - are they fictional characters in some other universe, and if so, who is writing them? Nice writing and good fun all around.[1]

Being a longtime Holmesian, I was delighted at the resemblance to Doyle's style...[2]
