Question Time!

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Hey all, A few questions have arisen about future posts, so I thought I'd throw them your way:

1) Would anyone be in favor of/object to the next week of DPP posts focusing on Jamie and Katee's other works? This is a pilots community and I'm a little iffy about having an entire week that doesn't focus on Lee and Kara at all, but if no one minds or thinks it would be a good change of pace, I can live with that as a special one-time only event. ;)

2) Some have requested that we start up rewatches again here at No_Takebacks for those less interested in critical analysis and more interested in some pilots-focused squee. What I'd propose is one tailored to cover just the episodes where pilots' relationship is featured/furthered. These are the episodes I'd suggest: 

Miniseries
33
Act of Contrition/You Can't Go Home Again
Six Degrees of Separation
Hand of God
Colonial Day
Kobol's Last Gleaming 1
Home 1
Home 2
Final Cut
Flight of the Phoenix
Pegasus
Resurrection Ship 1
Resurrection Ship 2
Scar
Sacrifice
The Captain's Hand
Razor
Lay Down Your Burdens 1/2 (these are iffy--not much pilots but what's there is pretty essential)
Unfinished Business--Extended (because that one has the I Love Yous and just...more pilots)
Eye of Jupiter/Rapture
Taking a Break from All Your Worries
Maelstrom
He That Believeth in Me
Six of One
Sine Qua Non
Revelations
The Oath/Blood on the Scales
Islanded in a Stream
Daybreak 1/2

I'd suggest Friday nights post primetime for these (as that's when I'm available to put up the post, etc.), but if others have better time slot suggestions, that'd be fine. Maybe some could take place on weekend days for our folks in other timezones? Or we could have international watches at a separate time as well as we used to. 

SO.....thoughts?

Rec Room Party

[sugarhaven.livejournal.com]

The pilots are playing "Never have I ever" game.



Settings: Between Rapture and Take A Break From All Your Worries (3.12-3.13). 

Background: Galactica pilots haven't had a break for weeks and they have all been absolutely exhausted from the food shortage, radiation storm and mining on the Algae planet. On top of that Starbuck (who can't fly because of her burnt hands) has been a complete mess and has been driving everybody crazy. The CAG's been completely avoiding her and unwilling to deal with her. No wonder everybody is sick of both Starbuck and Apollo and the weird tension between them. Finally the XO orders most of the pilots off-rotation for the next 48 hours so it doesn't take long for a kick-ass party to be started in the rec room. After many hours, the fun's been dying down and there are only eight people scattered around. The only thing left to drink are six bottles of the infamous "Head Hammer", a batch of the Chiefs homemade brew, which not only tastes terrible but gives the absolute worst hangover ever. No wonder that everybody avoids it like plague so Starbuck suggests to play the "I never" game with it. 

Players: Apollo, Starbuck, Athena, Helo, Racetrack, Narcho, Cally and Hot Dog
 
Guideline:
1. Pick a player and start with “I’ve never…”. Label your comment with the call sign of your player.
2. Let someone else respond to your “I never”. In a minimum, the response should tell us who (if anybody) had to take a shot.
3. Do (1) as many times as you want. You do not have to stick to the same player.
4. Let’s see which player will be the most drunk at the end of the night.
 
General rules:
1. Stay in canon but use your own imagination and crazy head!canon ideas about Hot Dog’s love life etc.
2. Your “I never” challenges and responses could be as short as a sentence (e.g. Helo: “I’ve never been to Virgon”; Response: Athena and Apollo drink) or as long as a drabble/ficlet (banter, banter, banter…).
3. Only one response per each “I never”.
 
Strategy:
If playing for Helo, Athena, Racetrack, Narcho, Cally or Hot Dog:
You want to get the CAG and the flight instructor as drunk and embarrassed as humanly possible while avoiding getting smashed yourself. It’s up to you player whether he or she wants to ruin someone else in the process as well. Try to get into your player’s head and think about what they could have known or guessed about Kara and Lee.
 
If playing for Apollo or Starbuck:
Well, that’s entirely up to you. Will they realize that the kids are trying to get back to them, put their differences aside and team up against them? Or will they ignore everybody around them and try to solve their issues by washing the dirty laundry in the public?
