John M. Ford/YMMV
- Family-Unfriendly Aesop: Revealed at the end of The Final Reflection: vengeance is the sharing of pain and grief, and is therefore therapeutic.
- More a case of Deliberate Values Dissonance between humans and Klingons.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In the (entirely serious) novel The Final Reflection, one of the characters is named Rogaine. Note that it was published three years before minoxidil was approved for use as a hair restorer.
