Reactions and Reviews

This story recounts the events of "Discovered In A Graveyard" from Bodie's pov interspersed with flashbacks to his life with Doyle as partners and lovers. The last few pages cover the time right after Bodie brings Doyle home from the hospital. All along we get what is going on in Bodie's head during this time, but that doesn't really mitigate the tediousness of rehashing the episode. I'd rather just go watch it. Then, after they get home Bodie keeps hounding Doyle about why he was so careless with security before the shooting and whether he truly wants to live. I understand his frustration, especially because Doyle is sending him mixed messages, but I just want to smack him and tell him to lay off Ray!

...really too much of rehashing the episode and a tiresome focus on why Doyle left the second set of locks undone. Some writers really belabor this point. Interestingly, in the Pros novelization YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT, Bodie mentions that Doyle's left the locks a few times before. And that's pretty much my own thought on the matter. It's the old hands that fall from the rigging, not the raw recruits.
