Stockholm Syndrome
Khan showed up at the ASC Awards Dinner, collecting several of my awards for me (in VOY and Overall). He also made an appearance in TOS).
The title of this entry doesn’t refer to the lovely Seven story by nostalgia. Instead, it’s a possible answer to the question someone asked me, Why Khan? Why the bad guy? Why the Borg?
I’m not going to insult Marla McGivers with the suggestion that she suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, but a writer who is forced to spend endless hours inside the mind of a purported bad guy can come to feel sympathy for her personal devil, identify with him, and eventually give him all the good lines.
That’s not my excuse.
