Reading Killing Time now!!! Three chapters in and I honest to God wondered if I wasn’t just reading some juicy ass Spirk fanfic. It’s fantastic.

I finished reading “Mutiny on the Enterprise” today, which I enjoyed for the most part. Reading it felt like watching just another chill episode of the Original Series. Cozy, but enough action to keep me reading when I didn’t have anything else to do. Some remarks I found utterly out of line (mind you, the book got published in the early 80s, but this makes those remarks no less inappropriate), including describing a woman as “small breasted” even though her boob-size had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on; and the sexual innuendos made towards Lorelei while in the same sentence describing her as “child-like” repeatedly. Also, referring to Sulu as “the Oriental” more than once. Just say helmsman if you want to avoid repeating his name?? Sigh. I found that Kirk felt out of character a few times too. But, having said that, I still had a good time reading it.
