Precisely. At bottom, in Suitable Gravity, they are still competent, equals, and capable of surviving great danger. It's one of my faves too.
I'm not sure what you do with a half-in, half-out scenario, like Whisper of a Kill. It feels like an AU some of the time, since Bodie is being put in situations we don't expect, the setting is Africa for most of the story, and his mindset as an assassin (ex-assassin) isn't precisely what we know and love about him from the show. I guess I'd call it half an AU, since Doyle and Cowley seem to come straight from central casting.
