This chapter made me channel Bones. When Jim fell through the ice I slapped my desk, covered my face and yelled 'God Damn it Jim!'. For real. =|

And I don't know what it is about this 'From out of the corner of his eye, Jim saw Spock coming, running towards him with an unintentional innate grace no human could achieve in these conditions. Jim looked over just as Spock pushed him away, both hands hitting into Jim with the combined force of his speed and strength.' but I found this extremely sexy. Spock to the rescue!

And I've read through your comments here and have committed myself to the lengthy torture to come. However, I think we all need an icon that reads 'Death by Apogee'. It seems fitting.
