Wow. That's about all I can say. This story was so well-done. The parts involving Lothos were an excellent recap of all that happened in QR (though it didn't mention what happened to the cyborgs but that's okay. They're gone. No loss. 
) and leads us to another chapter in the Virtual Seasons. I really really am looking forward to the rest of this season.
Sam's leap was fabulous. The part with Alex really taking to Sam's learning tricks with multiplications (never knew that trick with multiplications of nine! That really IS cool!) was believable and heartwarming. Al's conversation with Ross, as a father to another father, was absolutely brilliantly written.
But the best was the very end. I truly believe that no one should ever forget what happened on that tragic day. The video was thought-provoking and emotional. Just the writing itself was enough to put you back to where you were on September 11, 2001, and to remind everyone that the real villian isn't Lothos, and the real heroes aren't Sam and Al but rather all those who died in those three horrible tragedies and those that are now fighting for freedom from terrorism on the other side of the world.
What an absolutely perfect and touching tribute for a Veteran's Day weekend.
RATING: 10

A great second part! Even though Sam's reason for being there was Alex's, the rebirth of the "evil project" was very well done. And the reference to the September 11th disaster was very well done. I should have realized when you set the part of the episode that Sam was in in 2001. Bravo to you MJ and your co-author.
RATING: 9

I thought that this was a perfect way to introduce Sam to the devistating tragedy that befell us all on September 11, 2001. In no way was I offended by this great read. I have to admit that I was a bit shocked when I saw the video clip at the end but nonetheless it served the story well. Kudos to MJ and Eleiece for this great episode!
RATING: 10

Vince Beckett:
yeah nice touch with September 11. Sam wouldn't know about that, because he was leaping when it happened. What does Lothos have planned?
RATING: 9

Ziggy's Soul:
I really enjoyed the leap and felt truly saddened for Sam to have experienced Sept 11 on the TV set. Even thugh he's been swiss cheesed, this may come back to him from time to time.
Also, the evil leaper situation is certainly poised for some negative aspects for Dr. Beckett and the project. Oh Boy!
RATING: 9.0

Gushie:
MJ and Eleiece, this conclusion was great. I found myself getting a little lost with the Project Alexander stuff and got somewhat bored during some parts, but overall it was a good read. I expect we will be seeing more of this story during the season.
The leap itself had a sense of being from the original series, including the ending with the television coverage of the World Trade Center terrorist attack. I was almost expecting Sam to leap out just before or during, just so that he wouldn't have to experience the heartache that we all did during the attack.
RATING: 8
