Deep Thoughts: Family Edition

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone.  Hope your week's going well!  Thanks very much for your entertaining contributions to our drinking game! (though if anyone actually tries to play it, I suggest cheating and/or having a spare liver on hand).

So, yesterday I was looking through some of my old rough drafts of stories that were never finished, and I came across this line:

Lee knew from the beginning that Kara was the child his father had always wanted.

I'm curious as to whether you think that is true.  Lee and Kara obviously don't have a sibling relationship, in that 1) they didn't grow up together and 2) they are in love.  But it's very clear that Bill is a father to both of them, and that they are both aware of this.  Are Kara and Lee equally his children?  How do you think their relationships with Bill affect their relationship with each other?  Does the tangential "family" dynamic there strengthen their bond, interfere with it, or exist entirely separately?  Do you think they compete over Bill in any sense?  Do they understand each other better by knowing Bill?

Let's analyze the family triangle.  In my book, it's way more fun than romantic triangles.



Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. (Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina)

Rare Season 2.5 deleted scenes

Over on my livejournal I posted some deleted scenes from Black Market, Scar, Sacrifice and Captain's Hand. I recently came across an old post from beccatoria from five years ago where she had captured and saved them. I took a shot and found out she had saved them all this time. :) If you have time go check them out. They are also on my pilotography web site, as most of them have Lee or Kara in them.
