I really liked this - it combined some interesting ideas with a bit of a "feel-good" factor towards the end. I like the idea of Sam's 21st century life meeting up with his 1970s life in the persons of Chris and Maya!

Thank you. Feel-good was what I was aiming for (in this version. In the other ending, it was all about leaving the ghost of Sam Tyler behind them as they walked out together, but I decided that sucked).
And hey, why NOT Chris and Maya?

Oh, that was lovely. I ... just ... ... lovely. Very well written!

Oh, you're very welcome! Means a lot to me.

(- my favourite kind of review involves many ellipse, because it means you're lost for words, and I get to sit back here and just go 'hee, I did that. :D')

Yup, even online, in a medium where if I really wanted to I could sit back and compose an elegant, eloquent review, I still like to show that I'm lost for words. Also, I love your default icon.

(He's also gotten slightly chubbier with his wisdom, but wouldn't let me put that in the fic. :P)

Well, you already know I like it, but I'll say it again for posterity--the idea that Sam is gone in the past AND in the present just kills me, but in a good way, and I love Maya finding closure through the things that Chris will be able to tell her. And I love the idea that Chris is still using the things he learned from Sam, so many years ago.

(Also? who's been ever so patient with me. *boggles* Who's the one who has to have everything explained three times, eh?)

And that's why we're fixing things, remember, O Partner In Crime Buddy?

I love how you've written grown-up Chris. I can see him turning out just this way. Loved the concept of him coming back to replace Sam. Really enjoyed this. :)

The alternative, of course, was to let Ray have the job.
...

Uhm.

No...
I don't think that Maya would like Ray terribly much. :P
