Review:
The story opens with a diary entry. A really crushing diary entry that details just what life has been like for Blair Sandburg after the series finale. An ulcer is referred to several times. Not to mention a *lot* of anger. And, because this is Blair, we go from the diary entry to the day of Blair's graduation (if, you know, he were actually being allowed to graduate). Is it any surprise that a madman with a bomb is involved?

As you all know, Alyjude is one of my Sentinel fandom guilty pleasure authors. This story, however, is not a guilty pleasure. It's just plain good, especially with the characterization of kick!ass!Blair, who not only doesn't need saving, but he damn well will save everyone else while he's at it. Toss in a fantastic journal entry, Jim being, uh, Jim, and Simon being completely awesome and you have a great story all around.

Oh, I've always LOVED this story ... but then, I have a tendency to love everything Aly writes. They all have something special, something so touching that she inevitably, at some point, sooner or later, moves me to tears.

This story, though, is one of the absolute best 'kick ass' Blair stories in the fandom, thorougly delightful. Good for you for reccing it!

Thank you for always putting up the coolest Sentinel fictions! It's helped me a lot. If you're still interested in the show, they're now airing reruns this month and next month. I have the schedule in this link.

I'm glad you like them! Though, I'm going to run out of Aly's fic soon, so I guess I need to do more reading:)

Aaaand, well, I don't have a television (I *know* -- no TV, no internet at home -- it's amazing I can survive:), but I hold out hope that the entire series will be released on DVD some day.

Thanks!

Oh crap. That link didn't bring you to where you're supposed to go. If you're interested, when you get to that page from the link, just type in "Sentinel" under search. They're airing the end of first season and eight or so episodes from season two August 25.
