DPP: The Talk

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Oh Lee, why must your hair look like a madman's at this moment?

So, yesterday, in our discussion of what we would rearrange on timeline's canon, several people suggested that they would have liked for our pilots to just have at least one big honest discussion about their relationship. Back after Daybreak aired, either in the podcast or in interviews, the creators mentioned that they'd thought about writing a scene where Kara and Lee DID talk about why they were never able to make it work between them. I think it was supposed to take place in the tent before they came out and said goodbye to the rents and poofed.

Thus, my question today: What would they have said? What excuses reasoning would the writers have given them to explain why they'd never been able to get on the same page at the same time?

Anyone want to take a stab at ficcing it?

Here's a few creative suggestions:
"I have a secret. This is just my disguise. I'm not really a girl, Lee...I'm a pigeon in a girl suit."
"I liked you better when you were Fat!Lee. Maybe if you gained a few pounds."
"I never thought I'd tell anyone this but...I've really been in love with Hot Dog all this time..."
"My one true love? Noodles, followed by democracy."

I don't remember hearing they had planned to do such a thing. It wasn't in the podcasts. Though this is something they would do. Have a good idea for them, and not follow through with it.

If they had, it would have made it more palatable. K&S had a little scene together and that made it more palatable for them, so why not Lee and Kara?

It might have been an interview then? Maybe one of the long ones Ron did answering qs.

It's quite possible. He did a lot of interviews.

Yes! Why DIDN'T they give homage to the K/L relationship??? Because the really did make a big goodbye event out of Sam's death (which is fine) but then the whole Kara and Lee relationship that spanned the galaxies just kind of got thrown out altogether.

*scowling face*

Rooooon!!! *shakes fist*

Haven't seen the script or anything but I think Katee's acting/ad-libbing is what made the Kara/Sam goodbye so touching. Maybe that would have been just as meh without her real life feelings/Trucco's accident making everything a bit heavier?

Interesting! I do love Katee and she could act ANYTHING and make me love her for doing it. Aw... I would have LOVED to have had a goodbye with K/L too though. *sigh*
