Reactions and Reviews

Warning: I advise anyone who hated TSbyBS not to read this story. What happens here -- especially the first scene -- stirred up in me all the reasons why I hated that episode. Here we have some unexpected (and unjust) fallout from the diss-aster. It stirred me up because the logical answer, to me (that Jim stop pretending he isn't a Sentinel, and fight for his right to be not treated as a freak) is the completely opposite of what does happen here. However, given all that, what does follow in this story is pretty well done -- the argument between Jim and Blair is a good bang-up one, and you can see why both of them go too far. And I really like the conversation Joel has with Jim to knock some sense into his head; there were some good points there. The last line is good too.[1]
