That episode left too many plot bunnies behind, did it?

*giggles*

Great stuff:D

nakeisha March 9 2006, 12:08:26 UTC

It certainly did :-)

Glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you.

Loved every minute of it.

And you know how much I really really love that "Steel" gaze of his.

Wonderfully brillant

::Hugs:: Thank you, Ren. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it.

Ah, yes, the 'steely' gaze :-) I think of you every time I put that in, and tend to pop it in for your pleasure :-)

As I said regarding Anita's story, I'm a little ill-placed to comment since I haven't seen the episode apart from some clips. *But* I love the characterisation, the familiar way they argue, and the warm 'n' fuzzy G/D love.

And this:

"Do you ever think we've been together for too long, dearest?"

is *too* funny. Phooey to Jethro for taking him seriously!

Oh, and the last bit about prevarication could have come straight from a Garak/Bashir scene...

"So which story was true?"
"Oh, it's all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies..."

I'm glad that you enjoyed it despite not having seen the ep, and you liked their arguing and characters. Thank you.

Phooey to Jethro for taking him seriously!

Jethro isn't always the confident bastard he likes to pretend he is. But you'd think he knew his Duck better than that.

Ah, yes, I recall the Garak/Bashir scene well.

Bravo!!!

I love it!!!

nakeisha March 9 2006, 16:42:21 UTC

Thank you very much. I'm delighted to hear this.

How are you feeling today?

sharpiesgal March 10 2006, 04:32:33 UTC

A little better, but I think roadkill has more energy and IQ than I do at the mo...

I meant to post a longer review, but the meds got the better of me.

So here it goes....

Ducky's steel look was a nice touch, so was the bit where Jethro thought he was going to lose Ducky. My heart was in my throat over that.... Jethro's fear was very palatable and I was relieved when I knew they would stay together...

I'm sorry to hear that you're still not fully fit and well. I do hope that you get better soon.

Hey, no worries about the length of the review, I know all too well what meds can do to you 'oh, look pretty letters on screen' comes to mind at times :-)

I'm pleased to hear about the specific bits your liked, and it's nice to hear that Jethro's fear was believable and moved you. It's all too easy to think of him as utterly fearless and unbothered, but he's not like that really.

Thank you again and feel better soon.
