Fontana, the Commander's creator, I'm a bit more in favour of giving this story the added weight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828341842948036592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-79493857486277238322014-04-03T20:25:29.383-10:002014-04-03T20:25:29.383-10:00But is it compatible with the Marshak/Culbreath ve...But is it compatible with the Marshak/Culbreath version of the Romulan Commander's fate?BerserkRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062423528796946671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-5836045451267091612014-02-23T23:56:36.877-10:002014-02-23T23:56:36.877-10:00Yeah get the point regarding Sarek you make, just ...Yeah get the point regarding Sarek you make, just missing the context as I have not read the story myself. Interesting that his ability to be trusted gets called into question - just makes Sock's actions in Unification all the more stronger later on then.Daruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870910268972702784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-21746160239020205882014-02-23T17:27:06.949-10:002014-02-23T17:27:06.949-10:00Do bear in mind though that this comes right befor...Do bear in mind though that this comes right before the Romulan Commander utterly trounces Kirk and the <i>Enterprise</i> crew: I don't think Sarek's comment about the inherent shiftyness of Romulans is meant to be at all sympathetic, and later events do call into question his overall trustworthiness for me.<br /><br />The call forward to "Unification" was totally unnecessary, though. It's the one bit of fanwank in this whole series I'm a bit iffy about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828341842948036592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-27618325062837108242014-02-23T07:52:54.505-10:002014-02-23T07:52:54.505-10:00Thanks Josh.

I have not read this as with the others, actually I don't think I have ever read any comic book based Trek stories (I was mad for the novels and novelisations!) - and in a way I am glad regarding this story so far, as it certainly sounds a real shame for the events in Unification to be so undermined by how Sarek is portrayed here.Daruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870910268972702784noreply@blogger.com
