Daily Pilots Post

Thank you all for your comments on crossovers. It definitely made me think.

For today, we turn to meta. When I say meta, I mean the broadest possible definition of the word. Academic thoughts, thought provoking character analysis, unstructured commentary, whatever thinky thoughts you've got about Lee "Apollo" Adama.

For me, Lee has seemed to be the character with the most complete arc in the series. He starts off somewhat naive, alienated from his father, with very clearly defined standards of right and wrong. By the end, he's a deeply complex character who has learned how to fit into a world that makes no sense. RDM described Lee at least once as the moral center of the show, the conscience if you will. While he always maintained a belief in "right", his idea of what constituted right seemed to flex and expand (witness his reaction to the contaminated basestar). For me, I have felt that Lee's ending in Daybreak is at least in part because he became such a complex and human character that the writers didn't have a good way to conclude his character arc.

What do you think? What's fascinating about Lee Adama as a character?

[Preview: Yes, tomorrow will be Kara meta. Feel free to start thinking about it!]

Request for a Beta Reader

[choosing-sarah.livejournal.com]

I am in desperate need of a beta reader to help me with a long wip, 'Reunion,' which can be found here.

I've posted through chapter 17, 40,000+ words, Kara/Lee and rated M/NC-17. I've been working on it a long time, and I've recently been able to pick up with the writing, but I could use some help with consistency, maintaining believability and remaining in character.

Thanks a lot,
Sarah
