DPP: Intervention Time!

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone, it's my turn at the DPP this week, and to (belatedly) kick off, here goes:

Pilots frequently frustrate us with just how terrible their timing is, and how frequently they end up frakking it all up between them just when there's the smallest hope things will be ok. And nine times out of ten, it ends up feeling like it could have been avoided if someone just gave either or both of them a good talking-to.

Today's question is: what if that person was YOU? What if you could break the fourth wall or otherwise enter the BSGverse and actually talk to Lee Adama, or Kara Thrace, or both together, to tell them to please stop being so chicken/running off with other people/generally doing their best to frak it all up, or that despite all appearances, you two really do love each other - with a catch: you can do this only ONCE.

So, which point would you choose to stage an intervention for pilots and save them from themselves/cosmic bad luck? Here are a few possibilities, accompanied by my own wise advice to them:



me: Pssst, you two! Lee, take your jaw off the floor and just kiss her already! And Kara, don't go off with that slime Baltar, the person you want WANTS YOU RIGHT BACK and jealousy isn't a good look on him.

Leave your own answer - accompanied by a screencap if you want - in the comments, and also your own dialogue to pilots (even if it's nothing more than NO DON'T DO THAT!).

P.S.: I'm also working under the assumption that pilots would actually listen and not just freak out about the fact that a fangirl/fanboy is sitting in on their lives and giving them relationship advice. Or shoot/clobber said fanboy/fangirl.

I love their non-verbal communications too. And they could've kept it dialogue light here as well and still had some progress. I mean he could've said something as simple as 'don't go' or 'be careful' or how it's shown up there and still it would've said a lot with only a few words. He could've choked out her name as she hit the door and she could've looked at him all scared and just told him that she couldn't handle it right now or something. Idk. I like semi-non-verbal I guess, but I want more verbal than just "I hope you find him, Kara" and "OK thanks yo, peace out."
