An excerpt:

"John."

"Yeah, Canaveral, I copy." He throws his dad a smile. Half a smile. Maybe a quarter.

His dad gives him a quarter back. "Out in the Uncharteds...?'"

John shakes his head, doesn't know what he wanted to say. There can't be much dialogue on that subject, not from him. Monologues - where, when, how -- mostly from them. Answers he knows better than to give. Grilled and toasted, pensioned off at the ripe old age of thirty-nine.

"Nothing. I missed this."

Forty-two. He should be forty-two. Three years lost in the wormhole.

John curves the corners of his mouth, raises the bottle to the shade of Douglas Adams. Pours the cold beer down his throat. They both know the question now.

"John, all I've ever wanted is to understand what happened to you out there."

"I know."

"Whatever it is."

Brief summary: John watches his life as an I Love Lucy repeat. This is a great snapshot of John's mind at the end of season 3, obsessed and stuck in his own mind, while Harvey nags him from the sidelines.
