Our choice lies in the space between stimulus and response

"33" is a relentless hour of enthralling television empathy. The rushed feeling of the episode, the glimpse of people on the verge of breakdown, the sweat, the dirt, the bags under the eyes. The exhaustion, the strain, the sleep-deprivation. Everything seems, tastes and feels real as you witness how the Fleet has been threatened by a Cylon attack every 33 minutes for five days.

It’s the end of the world, boys and girls, and we’ll sleep when we are dead.

Kara/Lee fic recs: 33

This is just about my favorite BSG episode ever, so I had to get the party started by reccing one of my favorite K/L fics from that era:

Intra by svilleficrecs

This is so beautiful, short snippets of K/L current and backstory told in episodic form throughout the different jumps of 33.  It's lyrical, poetic, hot, and oh so pilots.  I especially love Kara's face slapping of #184, Lee's tenderness in #202, and mmmm....#212.....yes.  

I know there are few other good ones I have bookmarked, so I'll look for them.  But Intra is a classic!
