The Perfect Unfinished Mix

[sugarhaven.livejournal.com]

Put your gloves on, today's discussion is about Unfinished Business. 



The most romantic BSG episode has two version and although, people vary as to which one they prefer, I think that it is safe to assume that we all wish that the final product was a combination of  these two. Some things are simply better in UB, while others in UBEX. Today, we're going to mix up the best of both episodes in order to "create" the perfect 'Unfinished Business' cut. 

Throughout the day, I will be posting caps (courtesy of Emma-Jane), videos (courtesy of pilotography) or descriptions of Kara/Lee scenes that differ between the aired and extended version. I'll try to go from ep start to finish and include all the important moments.

P.S. Yesterday's game was a great fun. Many thanks to everyone who contributed with some wonderful drabbles. The post will stay open until the end of the week so feel free to keep the fun going. Those poor kids are still keeping their clothes on and haven't even shared a proper kiss. I think it'd be cruel of us to leave them like that.

I think the editing is one of the things that made this episode so powerful. Even if I had nothing invested in all of these characters by this point in the series, or even if I hadn't seen many other episodes, the way that the fighting and the flashbacks are interwoven is so poetic, and so poignant that I can't imagine any other way being better.

Now, I haven't seen UBEX except for sampled scenes, so I'm not an expert. However, I know I love all the extra information I'm getting from those scenes that didn't air...but the pacing would feel off to me with all the uninterrupted scenes. I really fell in love with the going back and forth, and doling it out in little bits.
