Body Language

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Hi, my lovely DPPers! I don't know about you but I'm still recovering from the festivities of Oscar Week, so I'mma gonna ease us back into DPPland with a little bit of Monday Morning Pretty. (There will be thinky thoughts and tougher challenges later in the week, promise!) But for now, here's a tinyspam of pilots in the position they seem to love best. (I heard that! Get your minds out of the gutter! ;)) I don't know what it is, but I love when they stand around with their hands on their hips for some reason. Maybe I am hoping they'll bust into the Time Warp dance, I don't know. But what are some of your favorite stances, gestures, movements from pilots? I've also noticed that Lee rubs his hand over his mouth a lot and Kara pinches the bridge of her nose when she's stressed/thinking.  And obviously we all know they love to have lingering handshakes and hugs (where Kara sighs a lot). Hee. What else have you got?

All of this hands on hips business is just making me giggle. They're so stern and serious and out of context it just cracks me up. The two of them, mommy and daddy pilot getting the kids to behave. I have to run off to work but I wouldn't be disappointed if somebody posted that cap of them discussing Kat's stim use in Final Cut while the cameras roll. I know there's some hand on hip action there! Ha! :)

Get out of my head girl! I wanted to say one of my fave's is when Lee has his hand on her back and walks her away from the cameras in the hangar deck. :-)

I don't have a handy-dandy supply of caps (boo!) but I think my favorite pose is the Kara-getting-in-Lee's-face pose.

Whether it is seductive (quoting Kataris) or aggressive (their clash over her failing the nuggets in 'Act of Contrition') or just tender (the puppy dog eyes she gives him as he's packing up his stuff to move to Pegasus.)

Oh snap! I just posted on this very theme with pictures :D I love that they don't have a sense of personal space around each other :D

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

I love when they are nose to nose in Flight of the Phoenix too. (See icon!)

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

I'd post something logical, but to be honest? I'm distracted by ARMS. Holy shit man. Arms. They are so beautiful.

[reginaspina.livejournal.com]

OK, I think my favorite photos are always when PILOTS are up in each other's faces (no personal bubbles for them!) and Lee is usually saying something serious and is often even angry with Kara but actually looks like he wants to kiss her. I think it's because Lee's eyes always seem to be focused on Kara's lips:










ETA: Tara, congrats on your multiple Oscar victories! You're like the "Lord of the Rings" of BSG fandom :D (Though Best Costume surely must go to the tiny towel, right?)

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Well, Kara does have a fairly amazing mouth... ;)

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm .... yummy pictures. My question is how in all Hades can Kara keep her hands off of Lee especially when he's half naked and she's standing so close? That woman has nerves of steel!

[ddt73.livejournal.com]

Excellent point, they are always invading each other's personal space.

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's funny you mention the hands-on-hips pose; my husband refers to it as their "gunslinger" pose, and he particularly loves the way it plays out in the Resurrection Ship episodes. Lee and Kara both use it when they feel like they're being pushed into a corner:





But when it's time for Kara to actually *be* a gunslinger, she drops the pose:



Interesting.

Also, we've all noted with approval Lee's tendency to lift his hands to Kara's hair when he kisses her. And the reason we see so much of his lovely jaw is that he automatically tilts his head to the right every single time :) Did you know that people with strong hand-eye coordination tend to favor their dominant side, be it right or left, not just with their hand but with their eye and foot as well? Their natural instincts are all aligned to push them to react and move one way instead of the other. I think Lee is definitely displaying some very nice natural coordination here :)

OMG - I cannot think past Rachel's DELICIOUS images! *sigh*

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

LOL! And now I want goofy RPF where Katee and Jamie have a conversation about who's going to go right and who's going to go left in all their kissing scenes. FANFIC GODS, PLZ TO BE MAKING THIS HAPPEN! KTHXBAI!

Gunslinger! Love it. Katee is also positioned with her hands on her gunbelt/waist in her promo shots of almost every year too! Sometimes Lee is too.



(LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH)

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, where you saying something? *is distracted by all the kissing*

[baciami2.livejournal.com]

I love how they're kissing so intensely that their noses get smushed up against each other's cheeks.

[ddt73.livejournal.com]

Katee and Jamie are wonderful at expressing so much with just a look. In this show where meaningful words were at a premium, they had to convey alot with just body language. They had to express anger, jealousy, love, hate, etc. all with a look and w/o the words. This makes this topic great. :)

These are such wonderful expressions, I love them. They say more than words ever could. Thanks so much!

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

There's so much in the body language in this entire exchange, but here are a few more where it strikes me intensely.

A little non-towel Final Cut body language:

Lovely choices hon. *hugs*

[ninjamonkey73.livejournal.com]

OMG, OMG, OMG! I hoped all through work that no one would post this one:



Or this one:



There. Whew! I'd spend all day finding new caps if I didn't have icons to work on. ;)

[kag523.livejournal.com]

Yummmm! So good. :>D

[ddt73.livejournal.com]

I think there is so much conveyed in these 2 looks they give each other.

[acsgrlie.livejournal.com]

Love the brig scene but especially the forehead touch!


And of course THIS

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

I love these SO MUCH. They are just beyond beautiful together.

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

I swear to gods Kara has a "brig face." It's like a..."Just because I'm in the doghouse doesn't mean I'm gonna take shit from you" look. It's definitely in K and L's first scene in the miniseries, and you see a lot of it when she's stuck in her quarters and Lee comes to talk to her in "Captain's Hand."

[indigo419.livejournal.com]

(and sometimes they have their hands on each other's hips! :D)

I wish I could cap! (dead DVD drive, no space on HD etc etc.) I still want a cap of the twins where Papadama is yelling at them before sending them off to the Peg. Best. angry!faces. ever.

Such a cute theme! I also love Lee's eyebrow wrinkle, it's so delightfully asymmetrical. ...oooh, there's a theme. Eyebrow wrinkle + Kara's nose wrinkle! :D
