Reactions and Reviews

'The Freedom When You Fall' by [Billie Phillips] was my personal favourite. It includes a character analysis of Kirk which is second to none. This is a Kirk, who, although Spock's lover, refuses to bond with him because experience has shown him that he loses everyone he allows close to him. To quote McCoy, "You're so afraid of losing, you don't even really try, and since you won't try, you just keep losing". It is also a Kirk who is rather more hopeless and hapless than I can imagine him being but nevertheless a well drawn character. [1]
