Reactions and Reviews
"USS Sesame" was amusing. I liked the way Paul Gadzikowski managed to find a logical denouement after all these unexpected events. If it will make you feel any better, I know even less of MASH and BEWITCHED than I do of Star Trek, never having watched any episodes of those two last mentioned series, but I've heard enough about them from their fans to be able to comprehend the role they play in this story. "Meld" seems reasonably effective. I imagine it would make a real impact. [1]
"USS Sesame" had me giggling all the way through it. [2]
Romp: second in the "alternate fiction-plane series. When Enterprise officers (in order of billing) start being replaced by muppets as they explore the fiction-plane vortex, Gil goes to New York, stumbles onto Darrin and Samantha of Bewitched, and solves the situation when Tabitha (now 13) turns out to be doodling in her math book with a magic pencil - and she likes to draw her favorite tv characters as muppets. Amusing & well-written. [3]
Paul's "USS Sesame" was another delightful romp through the fiction planes—is he going to contribute regularly? He should—the ideas worked well, and the humor is great fun. [4]
The "USS Sesame" was terrible. No offense to Paul, but it was very predictable and did not take any opportunity for diversion from the norm when it presented itself. I think it would have worked had it been shorter. The characters seemed wooden or stuffed (excuse the pun). [5]
