Ah, Spock, you sly dog. You play piano, too! I totally agreed with Uhura's reaction here, and McCoy's subtle thanking (and continued jab) at Spock. You got a good grasp of the TOS crew and it shows.

Aww man. On so many levels this is just awesome. It is the ease and familiarity of old faces and characters one is comfortable with reading. I like the easy flow of interactions, be they interactions or stolen looks at others and their reactions. There's a richness to the relationships that is exploited but not over cooked. Likewise, there's that great magical trick of writing the fascinating and surprising aspects of Spock for reader and the characters in the story that feel right, not forced, not for the sake of it, and without falling into trope territory. Instead, this feels very alive, very vibrant and although TOS feels fresh and new and as though it could in different directions. Fab job. Leaves me with a smile upon my face.

This is great stuff, very simple character notes that build up to a great portait of this crew. I like how you manage to make Spock both the formal, emotionally controlled Vulcan we all know, but who is also allowing himself to relax slightly with small, though meaningful gestures. Great job.

This is just lovely. You have the voices of the crew down pat, and the little nuances of their interactions are heartwarming to read. It's like being on the Enterprise.
I really love the way you build on that subtle flirtation we saw from Uhura during the series. NuUhura is a force to be reckoned with, but Prime Universe Uhura is all that and a lady, too. She is so composed, so dignified, so elegant. Spock seems comfortable with her here. I wonder if their relationship could grow to be more.

Oh, sweet - and very, very TOS.
