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.
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!

Date: 2011-03-05 08:15 pm (UTC)However, for many reasons, I can't see her being that interested in this role. Susan is an Antiques shop owner, and somewhat money/lifestyle obsessed we glean from the script. Definitely not as active as Katee's usual parts, also probably not a prominent part in this heavily procedural show. I also can't see her wanting to go back to the well again, playing part of a couple with Jamie, etc. (For the curious, I am holding out hope--and actively campaigning--that she will get the role of Deena Powers, a cop investigating superhero deaths, on Powers, a series that FX Network has in development. She has expressed interest in playing it, as have the producers. Hopefully we'll hear news now.)
But assuming on some slim chance she did get offered/took this role...I don't know that I would fall so hard. It would really depend on how much I loved her character (or possibly Jamie's). I think without all the elements that converged to make me love her/them, it would be a totally different experience. I'm not sure it's a love that could be recreated honestly.

Date: 2011-03-05 08:45 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2011-03-05 08:46 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-05 08:53 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-05 10:42 pm (UTC)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
Spoilers
Date: 2011-03-05 11:03 pm (UTC)Hopefully these characters are different enough that we won't be thinking of the BSG peeps after a while.

Date: 2011-03-05 11:23 pm (UTC)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. :-)

Date: 2011-03-06 03:35 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-06 03:49 am (UTC)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. :-)

Date: 2011-03-05 11:55 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-06 12:41 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-06 03:01 am (UTC)I'm hoping she steers clear for a lot of reasons, and then I will be happy to watch it with some detatched excitement. :)

Date: 2011-03-06 05:04 am (UTC)If they were together with another show runner it would be alot more welcome (unless it's someone with an equally bad track record).

Date: 2011-03-06 03:31 am (UTC)Hon, I think you might just be reading my mind again. Hee!

Date: 2011-03-06 05:09 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-09 06:04 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-03-10 03:07 am (UTC)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."
