Wow...just...wow! Sheppard as the smart soldier is a side we don't see often enough but this more than makes up for that and then some. At the same time, there were so many touches of his humanity in contrast to the "perfect soldier" who lacked the real human component. The ongoing tension in the story was fabulous. There was plenty of really good Shep & team h/c in it all, too. The team huddle under the blanket was beautiful.
I mentioned after chapter one that I liked the lead-in. I see now that the ending tied back to it really well. The farming game was so right to round off the story.
