Why This Must Be Read: Sam is delightful in this short story, as she helps their new resident alien find a method of recreation and handles the subsequent conversation with her CO with aplomb. I love her sense of humor, Jonas' enthusiasm for new things, and Jack's wry acknowledgment of who's really responsible for the whole thing.

Why This Must Be Read: This is another story about Kate carefully negotiating therapy with Sheppard, who's being particularly mistrustful and difficult. It's about her once again having to adapt and handle things differently than she used to on Earth. I like the unvarnished portrayal of Sheppard, and that Kate's skillful, and insightful. It's an episode tag to 'Common Ground' and 'Phantoms', set after 'Phantoms' - a short piece, but it rings very true.
