has anyone ever seen Here Come the Brides? was aaron coded as jewish in the show, as he was in Ishmael?

btw imagine 14-yr-old me reading about here come the brides for the first time and getting very confused about how a bunch of the characters from a star trek book had been in a television show nearly twenty years before the book was ever published.

mark lenard played aaron in the television show, which i imagine was the impetus behind hambly's interest in the telling a story set in that place with those characters. i found out when i was reading the school library copy of "on the good ship enterprise" and bjo trimble was describing some fans getting together to visit the set and give mark lenard a homemade gift (some kind of fanonical vulcan cloak type thing) and she described the show and the characters and i was like, "...WHAT."

i need to read it again because i haven't in a loooong time and it's wonderful, and apparently there are several cameos from different regenerations of the doctor as well, which i missed out on back before i'd ever heard of doctor who. i noticed the doctor who reference in my enemy, my ally but that was definitely on a re-read.
