Abraham Lincoln

Real-World Characters

Star Trek (s03e22)

The Savage Curtain

by Gene Roddenberry and Arthur Heinemann, directed by Herschel Daugherty
The critics agree that this episode lives in the bottom ten of all Star Trek episodes, but we kinda liked seeing Lincoln and Surak, even if Spock concludes that they were mere sims.
— Michael Main
Conjecture, Captain, rather than explanation: It would seem that we were held in the power of creatures able to control matter and to rearrange molecules in whatever fashion was desired, so they were able to create images of Sarak and Lincoln after scanning our minds and using their fellow creatures as source matter.
Star Trek (s03e22), “The Savage Curtain” by Gene Roddenberry and Arthur Heinemann, directed by Herschel Daugherty (NBC-TV, USA, 7 March 1969).

Standing Room Only

by Karen Joy Fowler
On Good Friday in 1865, Anna Surratt pines for one of her mother’s boarders—a certain John Wilkes Booth—not knowing anything of Booth’s plans for the evening, her mother and brother’s possible role in those plans, or the reason for the legion of odd tourists packing the streets in the nation’s capital around Ford’s Theatre.
— Michael Main
“It didn’t seem a good show,” Anna said to Mrs. Streichman. “A comedy and not very funny.”

Mrs. Streichman twisted into the space next to her. “That was just a rehearsal. The reviews are incredible. And you wouldn’t believe the waiting list. Years. Centuries! I’ll never have tickets again.” She took a deep, calming breath. “At least you’re here, dear. That’s something I couldn’t have expected. That makes it very real. [. . .]”

“Standing Room Only” by Karen Joy Fowler, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, August 1997.
