Why this must be read:It's a gorgeous and painful, yet not entirely bleak depiction of what the year on New Caprica might have been like for Kara. Her constant, apparently doomed struggle for self-reinvention is insightfully portrayed. It's also a wonderful portrait of Sam.

Sometimes she felt like she was made of exposed nerve endings, pieces of herself cut away. Other times her happiness was so sharp; she was alive and loved and that’s when she remembered what she gave up for this. She’s ripped herself in two and the halves don’t fit together any more.
