[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] SPOILERS FOR "THE GOOD THAT MEN DO" $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Timo, Well, I finally finished reading "The Good That Men Do," and I didn't find it anywhere near as bad as you made it out to be. It was certainly better then Braga's hastily written crap that was called a series finale. Basically, IMHO, the most implausible thing about the book was it's premise: That the events in "These are the Voyages..." were a cover-up for Trip's recruitment as a surgically altered Romulan spy employed by Section 31. And I don't mean that the cover-up was implausible, but rather the idea that the character of Trip Tucker could be in any way good at espionage. Nowhere in the show did Trip ever show any kind of talent for the spy business, other than his engineering knowledge. Of course, without this premise, there'd be no book, so obviously once our belief is suspended, it allows us to enjoy the actual book. And on that note, I felt the book was very well-written, interesting, and, at the end, satisfied that there may be more to the story in the future. Hell, it even gave a very plausible reason why the whole "no one has ever seen a Romulan" thing actually makes sense (i.e. there were indeed many people who knew what the Romulans looked like, but if the secret were to be known to the general public, there would be distrust against the Vulcans to the point that the Coalition would never be able to form).
