Why this must be read:

In the movieverse, Captain Sawyer is a character who is by turns cruel, dangerous and tragic. His paranoia, so unsettling and hard upon the crew, is undercut by his knowledge of his own madness -- we see glimpses of the Captain he used to be. We also see what could await Horatio further down the line.

In this insightful story, Romanticalgirl draws a powerful picture of Sawyer, of both his madness and his honour.

The problem is that, even if you are mad, you are still right.

God Acquits Us.
