"It is a dream, Kenny,” Johnny replied. “But yes, it’s real..."
That line is an instant classic. Calls to mind Inception.
A lot of deliberations here on serious issues. Thinking man's Trek.
Although if the new president needs to convene advisors via dream tech on tough issues, he probably needs to get better advisors. Or maybe find a way to get the likes of Dolphin and Canada on his staff. Poor Kenny has enough on his plate to write speeches for the president-elect, methinks.
Author's Response:
"Thinking man's Trek" is easily the best compliment this series has received - Thanks for the kind words!
Ivonovic is accomplishing a lot in this scene. He's a great speechwriter - he hardly needs anyone to write speeches for him. But by putting Kenny's name on the most momentous public address in 200 years, he cements Dolphin's reputation as the most influential ethical philosoper in Star Fleet. Which in turn keeps powerful admirals like Riker and Chekov from interfering with Ivonovic's pet troubleshooter.
Canada is also a tremendous find for Ivonvic. As a police intelligence executive for the City of Trantor, Canada is entirely independent from Federaion and Star Fleet intelligence and is in a position to tell Ivonovic what his own agencies aren't telling him.
Thanks!! rbs
