Why This Must Be Read: As Daniel helps Jack keep it together through various loops, the strength of their friendship becomes increasingly apparent. Extremely well-written and in character, this series of vignettes creates a very interesting and darker look at "Window of Opportunity."
"You're sure about this?" Daniel asks, as though there is a possibility that no, Jack isn't sure; that he's been confused by a trick of the light, or is playing a particularly bad practical joke. Over and over and over and over and over…
"I'm sure," he says calmly. He's already been through irritation, disbelief, rage, and despair; has punched Daniel, cried in front of him, yelled at him, and, in one particularly insane cycle, driven him to the Colorado Springs Hilton in order to throw him out a 14th story window. "And before you say it, yeah, it's a lot like 'Groundhog Day', but with nowhere near as many laughs."
"Bored stiff, huh?" Daniel asks, wrinkling his nose.
"You could say that," Jack says. "And in fact, you did. Several times."
"Okay," Daniel says. "Let's skip ahead to the important part. What's left to try?" He plants his elbows on his desk and leans forward, as though Jack might ask him to wrestle the loop into submission. "What can I do?"
