Yes, it's the human dramas that make the story relevant and gripping. 😊Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-28588632312833937492017-10-12T16:09:54.908+11:002017-10-12T16:09:54.908+11:00Great review, Jenny.

However, I think the themes are universal enough that people who don't usually read or watch sci-fi would still enjoy it. For example, there's a retired military commander who wishes he was still part of the action, and a Mum dealing with job loss and an autistic child. Yes there are transporters and tractor beams, but there's also human drama. Also I love the concept of doing a story as episodes in a series. Really looking forward to Episode 2.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-41424643568380981892017-10-12T11:09:23.837+11:002017-10-12T11:09:23.837+11:00Thanks, Iola.

Jewel of the Stars ticks all the boxes. I hadn't thought of the cruise ship as being a unique setting (compared to battlestars and exploratory science ships), but you're right: it is.<br /><br />Great review! Like you, I'm looking forward to the next episode.Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.com
