no_takebacksHey peeps, It's FRIDAY!! (Why do short weeks always seem the longest?!) Before I Get to today's little game, just want to give a shoutout to yesterday's KISSING MEME. There's lots of great little fics, pretty art, and gifs featuring pilots K-I-S-S-I-N-Ging. I strongly encourage folks to keep adding to it. There are some great kisses already, but surely we haven't tapped the depth and variety we could just yet.
Anyway, tomorrow I plan to put up another writing challenge for the weekend (hint: start thinking about your favorite romantic tropes/cliches in fiction now!), so today I thought we could play a fun little game.
Here is a list of all the episodes of BSG. Your job is to choose an episode title, and completely toss out the canon plot and give us a new summary of what the episode should be about. You can be as cracktastic or as serious as you want with these. And they don't have to fit into the general timeline of the show/where the episode actually occurred at all.
For example, perhaps you think Blood on the Scales should be an episode about Fat Lee Adama's epic weight loss battle after New Caprica. It could be filled with tons of Rocky-like training montages, and even a moment of utter despair where Lee turns to cutting himself (while weighing himself!) because he's so depressed! Naturally he would rally when Helo asks Kara to forget their differences and come down and whip him into shape.
The sky's the limit, so have fun. And remember, get those fic muscles warmed up writing some kisses and get ready for the weekend Trope Showdown!

Date: 2011-09-09 04:46 pm (UTC)The Farm
Date: 2011-09-09 05:05 pm (UTC)I like how things don't always got to plan, such as when the pig fencing doesn't work and the little runts escape! I just chuckled at the bit when Lee falls in their crap trying to catch them, and to which Kara almost dies of laughter, then makes him wait outside naked while she hoses him down *oh that outdoor wet scene*. I also loved it later when Lee then has to slaughter the pigs but can't and so decides to become veggi - much to Kara's bacon eating amusement.
I appreciated how the first winter was shown as tough for them, and how he finds it hard work when he has to learn to knit to make their clothes and then on the coldest night when the themo heating cuts out… poor them... but how that even at this darkest of times they find some joy when they have to cuddle close to keep warm. Sigh. And how the next spring all their hardships payoff! It’s cute when Kara discovers the joy of baby chicks... then has to fight her hidden fear of adult chickens chasing her later in the summer.
What I like best is how when all was said and done, eventually it all works for them.
They even get a cow - from somewhere??? They call her Gaius.

Date: 2011-09-09 05:55 pm (UTC)THE TIES THAT BIND
Date: 2011-09-09 05:56 pm (UTC)Late into the evening rotation Lee Adama remains on board the Galactica after his meeting with President Roslin and Admiral Adama. When Gaeta sounds the shift change bell he makes his way down to the senior officers head knowing he'll find Kara there after her CAP.
Lee ends up surprising Kara mid-shower and confronts her about never having a moment alone together. The argue a little and flirt alot. Kara stands there stark naked daring him to make a move. Lee calls her bluff and removes his tie and uses it to bind Kara's hands to the shower head for some uninterrupted togetherness.
Later when the CAG and Caprica's Quorum Rep stroll out of the head soaking wet, hand in hand, and laughing to each other it's clear that even when living on different ships, the bond between Starbuck and Apollo will never fade.

THE WOMAN KING
Date: 2011-09-09 07:46 pm (UTC)Adama, Roslin, Lee and Kara walk through the nearby forest and encounter a tribe of locals that stop quickly in their tracks. They are shocked by the arrival of the fleet. The head of the tribe steps forward and inspects each of the new-comers. He then speaks directly to his brothers and sisters in a primitive language. Suddenly the entire tribe falls to their knees and prays to the Gods above. The Colonials remain confused until a young woman no more than 16 grabs Kara's hand and pulls her through the trees to a clearing with a giant carved stone sarcophagus. It is adorned with wings and triple patterned rings that stops Kara in her tracks. She approaches the stone to find pressed into the top are two hexagonal discs with a name and serial number she instantly recognizes.
As Adama, Roslin and Lee surround Kara and share her confusion, the eldest wise woman of the tribe steps into the clearing and announces that The Woman King has finally returned home.
