Reactions and Reviews
1991
I liked the way that the women of Kirk's past 'spoke' to Spock. The meditation was a nice wayo f bringing all those from the past together. I also thought the title and final sentence appropriate to the story. [1]
1992
An interesting view to have Kirk's women appearing in Spock's mind during his medications. but never finding out just how it is happening is very frustrating. I felt the mention by T'Pring of a link with Kirk was a case of too little, too late. Better perhaps to have a stronger explanation before the visitations began so the reader could focus more on the analogy of the puzzle rather than wondering how it could be happening. [2]
