DPP: Butterfly effect

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Due to time constrains I'll get right to today's topic.


We all have problems/issues with some stuff from canon. That's not a news to anybody. What I'll like to hear today from you is



What is the event/decision/discussion that you would change from canon and what effect do you think that the change would have on latter events.



You can rec a fic that involves this, mention the event and maybe somebody else will pit it up from there or discuss it at length.

To be fair to Sam, I am pretty sure that even if he died earlier on, Kara would have found some other poor moron (stupid enough to get along with it) to marry and use as a shield from Lee.

yes, I think that you are right when you say this. but sincerely i never thought of Sam as a life stealer. and I don't know if i can say that Sam joining the Fleet had anything to do with Lee but had a lot to do with Kara.
I'm ashamed to say that i don't recall exactly the moment that he started flying but for me him flying and Lee giving up his wings were always sort of linked with Maelstorm - like an opposite reaction to the same think.

and personally I like Sam. he is ok and without all the problems surrounding the QoD I believe that he and Lee would have been friends.

I totally agree. He joined the fleet so he could move on to Galactica and be closer to Kara (at least I think). It had nothing to do with Lee. It's just that I was so used to seeing Lee and Kara both in flight suits and suddenly there were so many of the promo and DVD cover pictures with Sam and Kara in the pilot outfits. Just thought that making Sam a viper jock was such an unoriginal idea and made him kind of look like Apollo.

I like Sam as a person a lot, just don't like most of his story arcs. It is rare to see a sport star being so easy-going and no-bullshit guy.
