Author's Comments
I don’t know how many times I’d started a “Jim’s mother” story, only to eventually abandon it. This story wasn’t very definitive, as far as Jim’s mother, but it appealed to my increasing desire to keep slash on a merely suggestive level and not have to deal with sex scenes (of which, after writing well over a hundred the past 20 years, I easily tire of). It’s nice to have a chance to show Naomi in a thoroughly positive light, for once. And it’s always a bonus when events – in this case, Jim’s mother’s side of the family – gives yet another explanation as to why Jim was always so denying of his senses. (A fan once mentioned on a list about how they’d had some correspondence with one of the TS scriptwriters. Had their been a fifth season, there would have been a script about Jim finding his mother in a mental institution, her being placed their because of her heightened senses. While I would have loved to have seen an episode about Jim’s mother, I’ve always been uncomfortable thinking of her as a sentinel. I’d prefer to think that the genes skip generations, or are more random than that.)[1]
