Reunited: Would it feel so good?


Hee. Okay so I'm being a little silly with the subject line, but all this flurry of casting news for Ron Moore's new TV pilot, The 17th Precinct, had to have struck some fear into the hearts of shippers everywhere. He cast Jamie, then James, then Tricia and there are plenty of folks wondering if there might be more battlestar vets he'll try to pick up. Katee is still out there, available, and someone on twitter pointed out that she and Tricia tweeted about seeing each other at an audition where they were up for different parts. Of course, it was probably not for 17P...but... the role of Jamie's character's wife is still open. And it calls for a somewhat snarky blonde in her 30s.

We've all said plenty of times that we would love to see them play a couple in something else...never ever thinking that was a real possibility. Which brings me to today's scenario: If Katee was cast as Susan (the wife of Jamie's character, Caolan), would you watch? Would you ship? Or do you need them to be Kara and Lee for you to ever feel that way again?



Also just a couple of reminders: The (Not Very) Porny Battle Rages On! Also, we need folks to steer the DPPs! Esp for the rest of this month. I've got a special project in mind for a few days next week, but the end of the month needs fearless shippers to volunteer! Oh and if anyone missed my meta article on why pilots are my OTP you can find it here. Please feel free to comment if you can!

Totally not my worse nightmare and I would love to see them reunite. I personally would be super excited if she were cast in 17th Precient.

Can you share how you got to read the script?

Knowing things I know about Susan, I would be utterly devastated if Katee got cast. I'm hoping she'll end up on the show eventually, but definitely NOT as Susan.

It would depend on the characters, I guess. We know the actors have incredible chemistry, but they need something to work with. But it would definetely make me even more curious to see it. This show is sounding more and more like a BSG reunion. I can picture the rest of the cast showing up for special appearances at least.

Just because it would save me time...

I would find it very funny if that happened, and I'd probably be very happy no matter what because I'd suddenly have all this extra footage with which to do mashups.

Yes. That is a foolish answer. But it's honest.

*shrugs*

Just an aside... Didn't Katee also tweet a while back that she wanted to talk to RDM about a "new project of his"? Wondering if that's what this was about. #IDontThinkIDreamtThatButMaybe

She did. She said something along the lines of 'Now all I gotta do is figure out how to get onto one of his shows.' You didn't dream it. :)

From what you've said about Susan, I'd be disappointed. It'd be nice to have Jamie and Katee together again, but I can't see the Susan character having a prominent enough role to suit me. I want Katee front and center with LOTS of character development.

Maybe having her play a nemesis of sorts along the lines of Sarah Corvus, then I'd be hyper excited. Otherwise, I'm holding out hope for Powers. Though you have to wonder if Katee's not feeling a little bit left out of the 'family' reunion.

I'd be happy to see them reunite in anything. The character of Susan doesn't sound like a typical Katee role but some changes could still be made if she was cast.
I think if she did want to be part of this project, she would probably go for James Callis' detective partner. She had a similar role on CSI.

~~~SPOILER~~~~






































I would be pissed if Katee got cast as Jamie's cheating wife. Way to rub it in RDM, ya know?

And honestly, this show is starting to seem very crackficish.

Yes, I'm still bitter. ;P

Oh so Susan cheats on Jamie's character? Oh then you know he wants Katee for it. He's evil enough do that no doubt!

Though keep in mind things from the script are subject to change. Amanda cheated on Daniel in Caprica in the script. They dropped that in the actual show.

Reunited: Would it feel so good?
ILU, Tara. :-) I was scrolling past my list quickly and I knew this was you. I love your titles. :-)

And to answer your question. I probably wouldn't ship Jamie and Katee on a new show. But I am not above using such footage for future K/L fanvids. :-)

Well, there's at least one rattling around my brain, you know? And . . . I need more footage. :-D

This would, indeed, be a redeeming quality. honestly. White Noise 2 is perhaps the worst film Katee has done and there are still some lovely clips of her. Hee hee!

Rented, clipped, saved to my external HD, returned to DVD rental place. :-D Like two years ago too. I should make that vid. I will when I'm ready.

I liked White Noise 2. I have never seen Nathan Fillion in anything else except Dr. Horrible. Just the end totally didn't make sense. But up until then I was going with it.

ETA: Oh, and I also have clips from that very bad post-apocalyptic movie Katee was in. Completely forgettable title. Poor Katee. She deserves to be in a really good movie someday.

The robo enemy guys were the worst bad guys I've seen since the Slee-stack on the original Land of the Lost. And the Slee-stack were scary! But bad, bad costuming.

Nope, can't watch Firefly. I actually acquired the DVDs for free once, had them for nearly four years, and finally gave them away as a prize in my 100th Friend celebration in my journal last year. If I were going to watch Firefly or had any curiosity, I would have watched when the DVDs where right there on my shelf.

I have seen a lot of Nathan' Fillion's bottom in the comments of the Fandom Steel Cage Match today. It's a nice bottom, but I'm still not even curious about that show. :-)

I would rather not see them in the same show again, I think. I wouldn't be able to look at their new characters and not compare them to Kara and Lee. They'd probably fall short, you know?

I think it would be fun if the entire paradigm of the relationship and the characters is completely different. The two have a definite chemistry but I think it would be interesting to see that molded into a very different type of ship. I wouldn't want it to be similar to Kara/Lee at all, but NGL, I'd probably be rewinding any sexy scenes and pretending it's Kara and Lee all the time.
I haven't read much of anything about the show/characters, though, so I can't really comment on the specific case.

I definitely do not want Katee to get casted as Susan but if down the road she popped up as a guest star I would quite enjoy that. I don't think I could not NOT ship them if they ever did. My brain just works like that. Unless of course they were casted as actual brother and sister (which I wouldn't put past RDM to do to us).

It would be hard not to compare it to Lee and Kara though. I just miss them desperately and would love to see them on screen again together someday. I know I know...I'm cheap and easy. It's both a blessing and a curse.

Our worst nightmare is an appropriate title for this.

On one hand they are back together and they have awesome chemistry. However this puts RDM in position to frak with us again, and that is DECIDELY not good. The old phrase "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" comes to mind.

It would be a dilemma cause as it stands now I can watch it without having to worry about being sucked in. However if they are on the same show and as husband and wife no less? How can I not getting emotionally attached? How could memories of Lee and Kara not affect how I feel about this couple?

I would watch it. No way I wouldn't. I'm the one who tracked every show they have been on that I could find lol. So yeah together again? Course I'm watching it. I just don't know how I would watch it, if that makes sense? Have to watch cause they are together again, but can't let RDM screw with me either.

Guess if it happens, I'd have time to figure out the how right? lol

I would love to see it happen, but yet it would probably scare the crap out of me too lol.

Seems alot of us are on the same wavelength with this. On one hand you want to see it on the other you don't cause of RDM lol

If they were together with another show runner it would be alot more welcome (unless it's someone with an equally bad track record).

*phew* I feel better ;)

Seriously though, I know most would feel at least similar. On one hand as fans of both of them how can't you not want them together again? Ah but to put at the mercy of RDM again? That's so scary. Talk about being torn lol.

Super late to the party but I thought I'd pop in and say I hope it doesn't happen. It's already weird enough with three prominent (& iconic) former BSG stars playing in this series and if you add Katee, it will be super hard to separate them from their BSG char's and really engage in the new show. Since this, like all new shows, is going to have to struggle to get picked up, that would be a really bad move. Plus, I think Katee deserves to headline/star in her own show!

Having said all that, if she does join, we can all pretend that it's an AU and the "All this has happened before ..." is going on (I mean, hey, she gets to sleep with Gaius ... er ... I mean Jeff again!) and maybe, just maybe ... this time she won't poof and there are no pigeons? But wait. Isn't the show based on magic and stuff? Crap. Well, then she'll definitely poof again. Never mind. Bad idea all around.

Hee. Thus endeth my ramblings.

so it isn't Katee but Kirsten Kreuk who will play Jamie Bamber's wife.

"Kreuk will guest-star in the pilot as Susan Longstreet, the wife of Jamie Bamber‘s crime scene expert. Should the Peacock pick up the series, the role has the potential to go recurring."
