After reading the first Family story, I wanted to go back and read the stories that came before it, and that meant reading the "Becoming A Watcher" series.

This story was great. Yeah, it was hurt/comfort-ish, but I like to see restoration. I particularly liked the soulful epilogue. Friends will be friends will be friends...

Second in the Becoming a Watcher series. That was good again. So many good bits: "I'm as dead as hell and I would love it if you would join me"... "This is my life and this is where it belongs" (now, that sent a shiver down my spine). This is an ideal Sentinel series, not what we saw on the screen - and I like it.

Third in the Becoming a Watcher series. (contented sigh) That was good. (These remarks are getting monotonous!) Very dramatic start, some good ideas, very good points about faith. Mind you, I don't actually buy into the "Watcher" thing, but if it makes them feel better giving the friendship a title - relationships are given to us; they don't need to be destined for them to be a blessing - but that's just my opinion.

Fourth in the Becoming a Watcher series. Good quote for the title, good theme for the story.
