Reactions and Reviews

1993

Finishing leave at Yosemite without McCoy.

Lovely talk, depicting a very intimate and meaningful friendship. Some fine language, and what felt like very "realistic" dialogue. I love when I get that feeling; when I can hear the film/TV Kirk and Spock as we know them. Kirk still suffering pain of Spock's death. Strong, intense. Very nice story.
