It's good to see that you're back to processing through typing! I've said before that I really enjoy reading what you think, even if you don't seem to think it's of much substance. I squeed in agreement about that moment in Reckoning: that is one of the Daniel moments that I adore, and the man I can see in the E'verse whose "truth is a bright and burning thing."

I hope you'll do some additional thinking out loud as you work your way through S9-10, because even when I don't wholeheartedly agree (Moebius annoyed me), I enjoy the thoughts. (For example, your squee about the S5 SGA ep in which Rodney loses his mind is the main reason I'm looking forward to seeing S5 when it's out on disk.) Best wishes for your RL!
