Got inspired to watch this since Sarek (the novel) ends with Spock meeting Senator Pardek and being inspired to pursue reunification.
Gosh, I feel so bad for Sarek. The times I've lost the ability to control my emotions have been among the worst of my life.
(I have extreme emotions.)
@mason@partychickens.net I shall queue up Enterprise: The First Adventure next, then, thank you! I've only ever read Dreamsnake by that author.
I thought it was quite good. It felt true to character, the author was clearly building toward the episodes Sarek and Unification. I quite liked the the portrayal of Sarek's and Amanda's relationship, how Sarek smiled, very slightly, only for Amanda, when they were in private.
@lightspill It's been a long time since I read it, so I hope it lives up to my memory.
I'll find a copy of Sarek. Thank you.
And then they would have our gratitude.
I had forgotten how much I like the buddy comedy elements of Data and Picard sharing a Klingon cabin.
Old Spock is so much fun to watch it's kind of a shame he was wasted in the Generic Action Movie with Star Trek Branding.
@lightspill just the right amount of awkward.
@lightspill Is the book good? It's so hard to find good Star Trek fiction that doesn't utterly bungle the charterers' motivations, speech patterns, etc.
It's been many years, but Enterprise: First Adventure sticks in my memory add being good, along with the first few movie novelizations.
