Thanks a million for this great episode. I have to say I am a great fan of your work and was delighted to see you writing an episode, which of course lived up to my expectations. What a shame these episodes ae not real instead of virtual and we could enjoy them on screen - they are fantastic stories. But at least this great team is giving all of us fans the opportunity to keep enjoying Stargate Atlantis despite the ending of the TV series. Thanks, thanks and in case I didn't say it clearly enough, thank-you a zillion.

Thank you so very much! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the fic as well as the rest of the series. I've shared your comment with the rest of the team so they can bask in the happy, too. *G*

I had been waiting on this episode and you didn't disappoint. It was one of those episodes that when the credits begin to roll, I would be saying WOW lets watch that again now. Great concept with the link between Sheppard and Todd, plenty of action and humor (McKay high on life is hilarious). The team doing what they do best..saving each other. Loved it. And now I'm off to read it again.

Awwww, thanks so very much! I passed on the love to the rest of the crew to see that you're enjoying the season so far. And I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed this episode.

Wonderful episode!

I just finished reading your contribution to the virtual season, and I want to commend you on a job well done. It can be difficult to meld multiple voices into one, coherent point of view. Having read the first two stories, and having read your other work, I was certain I'd like your story, but unsure if your take on the characters would be consistent with the approach of the previous stories. For example, I find your Rodney wittier and more likeable than some other versions of Rodney. I get the sense you genuinely like the character and see beyond the pettines to the "heart of gold" inside. The virtual series thus far was leaning more towards obnoxious arrogant Rodney than sympathetically obnoxious and tolerably arrogant Rodney. You've done a wonderful job of balancing the virtual series approach to Rodney and blending it with your understanding of the character. I felt like I was reading a slighly AU take on your typical version of John and Rodney (and your John and Rodney are my favorite John and Rodney!). Also, the story

Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the episode. You're right, I do really like Rodney as a character and do see the "heart of gold" that is definitely there. Although, when he is stressed the arrogant, petty Rodney can definitely take over. As to the John and Rodney in this fic, seeing as it was for a virtual season, I tried to remain as true to canon (and gen) as I could. (As a slash writer, than can be tough and alot of my gen does, admittedly, have a much closer John and Rodney than we typically get on screen.) But I'm glad you like it and the bank robbery fic. Thanks again!
