Reactions and Reviews

Well! Talk about preconceived notions! As I read this first-person amorous observation of Spock across a crowded room, I pictured the spectator as a pretty, round-faced young lady (Mary Sue Somebody). Imagine my incredulity when on the fourth page the narrator introduced himself to Spock.

Well structured, the story—Spock, too—a joy to follow. As if you were there in your banquet finery, eavesdropping on comments like the ones the watcher makes to himself as Kirk enters the room: "When this man crossed a room, he crossed it, and a Tiberian Firecat couldn't have stopped him from reaching the other side." Of course, as this observation was made, Kirk's target was Spock, which always changes the odds!

The story teller is Betazoid and Tirizan turns out to mean Holy Matchmaker. The scene never leaves the banquet hall where it began. It didn't have to...the fire was there as it always is. As the Betazoid declared, 'They are, after all, Imzadi." I knew that.

A Betazoid matchmaker eyeing up Spock is an unwitting catalyst. I love Spock in this, the way his scientific curiosity and acceptance of IDIC overrule his Vulcan reserve.
