"Citizen Joe"
This was an emotionally-strenuous episode for me. I thought it was a very interesting plot. I would have liked more now-Jack and less past-Jack, but I can live with it. Definitely the best clip show of the series, in my opinion. But OMG. When Joe went rummaging through the trash looking for the stone and found it just in time to see Daniel die, I lost it. I balled my eyes out! I cried for the next ten minutes and still am a bit wibbly, even with all the funny that came after that. It was like I was back there with him, however many years ago watching "Meridian" for the first time. I so wanted to cling to him and tell him it'd all be okay. And no one was here to give me a hug. Shroomy tried to be supportive, but I was in a bad way. *cries again* But, yeay, they talked about The Simpsons! I died laughing. 'Twas great.

"Before I Sleep"
Also very interesting. I loved the Rodney-Sheppard Back to the Future banter. Heck, I like all their banter. And dang it, I cried for the second time tonight. EDIT: I just want to mention how frikkin' awesome this episode is, cinematically. I mean, Weir talking to herself, and the part with Col. Sumner. And oh, the implications this has for future episodes on both series. Yes, great ep in my opinion.

You can virtually cling to me, if that helps any.

Before I Sleep was very wibbly. It's one of my favourites. And lots of fic written about it, too. *wibbles at the memory*

*ears perk up at the mention of fics*

Do you have any fic recommendations?

[in-purple-skies.livejournal.com]

There's two in my journal (in with the Llama song entry!) but all the other things I have been reading are shippy. Heavy-angst shippy hence the wibble. If you are inclined that way then yes, I have plenty of recs!

[skroberts]

I meant specifically "Before I Sleep" related fics... *slaps self for not being clear*

I really don't like ship, though I can handle it to a certain degree.

But I have read EVERYTHING by b7-kerravon. She rocks. :D

Um... *digs about in inbox* Here's a series of Before I Sleep tags that I'm in the middle of reading, it's not as shippy as most of the stuff that turns up in my inbox but admittedly I haven't finished reading it yet. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2259296/1/

Have you got any other gen author recommendation by the way? Ship angst get rather depressing after a while. :p

Does this icon clash less with your layout than the other one? :P :P
