Reactions and Reviews

YEARS AGO AND FOREVER by Alexis Fegan Black (also the editor) was the first post-STIV story I came across, and I'm hopeful that it will be the last — not because of I didn't like the story (I did!), but because I'm not a fan of STIV, and "once is enough" for that theme with me. YEARS AGO AND FOREVER is an excellently done story, dealing with the premise that Spock's "professional" memories have been reprogrammed, but that he must re-learn his "personal" memories from Kirk, McCoy and others. We have here a very Spock-ish Spock and a very commanding though frustrated Kirk. What I liked most about this story was that the ending captured a feeling of STAR TREK which is missing in many K/S stories. Being a fan of the series moreso than the movies, it was refreshing to find that feeling again in a story which dealt with the theme of STIV. [1]
