DPP: Freaky Friday (er... Monday)

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Hey, everybody. rayruz  here, and I will be driving the DPP bus this week. :D I got a couple of silly and hopefully lol-worthy posts planned so let's get started with today's.

Reveille sounds. Kara sits up to roll out of bed, but finds herself banging into the bulkhead as she does. Did she turn herself around in her sleep? Whatever, she's got a long CAP ahead of her. She rolls out of bed and shuffles over to her locker. She pulls the door open and catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror. What she sees in front of her is the most bizzare and confusing thing. Because God did it with pigeons For completely unknown reasons, Kara is suddenly in Lee's body. She looks over to her bunk, the curtain draws back and she sees her own body getting up from the rack. She meets her own eyes across the way, and the look on her face is utter shock. Yup. That would be Lee.

What the frak!?

Okay Shippers... what happens next? 

Kara's in Lee's body and Lee is in Kara's and they have no idea how they are going to switch back, the only thing they can do for now is pretend to be each other. What kind of mayhem ensues? Do either of them take some... private time in the shower? Who do they get trapped in conversations with? Does it affect the two of them! (Remember, Freaky Friday was about learning a lesson in being someone else to bring the people closer together.)

Ah Black Market, that episode is kind of like an AU story.

It really is, isn't it? haha

This episode when stripped down to it's bones had a lot of potential to make an important social statement but it was executed so poorly. I don't know if it was the writing, editing or direction, but something about it is just way off in tone compared to the rest of the series. Plus the whole Shevon/Gianne stuff was thrown in so carelessly that like you say it makes no sense.

Also they tried to tie what happened with Gianne to his space walk, when one had nothing to do with the other. The last thing he said was Sorry Kara, not sorry Gianne.

You know, I was SO confused by that part in BM that I had to go back and re-watch then end of resurrection ship just to make sure I didn't imagine him saying "Sorry Kara." heh!

Exactly wander, even RDM himself said what you said. It was badly executed, and was just off. There's some interesting stuff here with potential to be great, but it was screwed up. They threw too much new stuff at us out of the blue.

I did like them tarnishing Lee's golden boy image, that he's a frak up as well. I think that was one of the points of the episode, but again it should have been executed much better.
