You know one thing I love about your ficlets is that you get into exactly what your people are thinking. Trying to reason through something utterly unreasonable is disjointed at best, and... well, great stuff. Much impressiveism. ;)

I think it's a leftover from my role-playing days, but I love to crawl inside the heads of the fictives and see what makes them tick. A lot of Amy's life has been driven by death, in one form or another. For all her bouncy goodness she's not as shallow as she seems sometimes. Sort of like John I guess. ^_~

Hm. That's a real good description of John, actually. :)

*laughs* Wasn't even paying attention when I built her, but she is a lot like him, isn't she. Except for his whole 'problem with authority' bit, and the MENSA thing, but still. ^_~ *grin*

Great last line.

That's the one thing that has always bugged me about the show; you'd think with all the other nifty toys they had found that they would have something a little more impressive on the medical side of things. :P
