I think Shawna has discovered Hiroshi is about as romantic as a slug. And that any possible romantic feelings he might have are mostly directed at the girl who protected him in the canyon.
I ride my bike to ride my bike, and sometimes it takes me where I need to go.

Shawna isn't exactly a disinterested party, is she?
Considering that slugs are hermaphroditic... hmmm, I'm not sure just how one would even begin to evaluate "romantic" in that context. The closest sapient analog I can think of is the people of Gethen, from "The Left Hand of Darkness"... they certainly did have both love and romance, but the latter worked a bit differently than along more polarized species.Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 12:10 am I think Shawna has discovered Hiroshi is about as romantic as a slug.
It's true, though, that Shawna might have learned the truth that Spock said to Stonn... that having is often less satisfying than wanting.

Gender fluid people. The bits don’t do it but the mind does.
He's mister GlytchMeister, he's mister code
He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch
Starts to glitch in my clutch!
I'm too much!

Yer kinda dating yourself there, Dave. But I won't mention about you running amok.

Re: Why Am I Like This 2018-11-05
I assume this is part of Shawna's "Who am I and what do I want" self examination, as well...
Probably not.
I wonder how that relationship worked out. Maybe they wound up as deliriously happy with each other as Vulcans can be.Dave wrote: ↑Mon Nov 05, 2018 1:14 amShawna isn't exactly a disinterested party, is she?

Wow, I actually got that joke there.
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

And the prize is a tin of caviar. Sturgeon caviar, of course... the finest!
That relationship got a significant mention in Diane Duane's excellent 1988 Trek novel Spock's World, which is (mostly) set some years after the events in Amok Time.
It did not end well. Sociopaths don't make the best partners.

I have that book (or used to, I don't know... I think it's still in one of the moving boxes...)
[spoiler warning]
Didn't it turn out that she stood to make a lot of money, should Vulcan withdraw from the Federation, and she would get to hurt Spock, as well? It's been so long, since I read it...

I ran amok once. The paperwork was horrible, and don't get me started on the taxes...

I like Diane Duane's books. I have a number of the non-Star Trek ones. However, I read all the James Blish ST books as well.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
