It's been a joy to see you discover this series and to talk about it with you. And I love this post. I rewatched Assignment One as a result. I think Hammond had to put an upbeat ending and kids in the first story to get the really good stuff through. It's only been lately that I think Tully overheard *everything*. Now I'm considering the ramifications of the five years Steel cheated Time of, the repercussions for the agents, whether tthe superiors have taken countermeasures in later stories - the fact Silver has more intelligence than Steel. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the second half!

Did you get the watch working?
