no_takebacksPut 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.

Atmosphere
Date: 2011-09-29 10:03 am (UTC)Did you like the raw atmosphere of UBEX or did you prefer the more poetic aired version with lots of images and little time for dialogue?
Story
Date: 2011-09-29 10:04 am (UTC)Flashbacks
Date: 2011-09-29 10:08 am (UTC)Conjugal visit
Date: 2011-09-29 10:18 am (UTC)The Kara/Sam scene is quite a bit longer in UBEX compared to the aired version. For once, we get to see glimpses of the hot sexing with a hint that Kara is actually thinking about Lee (that girl really needs to do something about that habit). It is more obvious in UBEX than UB that Kara and Sam are living on two different ships, barely interact and that Kara's nowhere near ready to commit to a traditional marriage
Do you prefer the scene with or without the sexing?
Do you like the additional dialogue between Kara and Sam?

A chance to hurt (and touch) Kara trumps sexy-time with gorgeous wife

Dee: Hey, if you’re done brawling, how about we arrange a private tussle?
Lee: Well, actually, I have another bout.
Yes or No?

Date: 2011-09-29 12:22 pm (UTC)Do you like Kara's confusing confession?
Re: The other side of hatred is love
Date: 2011-09-29 12:23 pm (UTC)Re: Story
Date: 2011-09-29 12:41 pm (UTC)UBEX felt like a different story entirely--it was clear from their first kiss that she was inviting this, and the way she smiles against his shoulder after he comforts her was perfect.
Also, because I didn't see it posted in the list yet, the Starbuck-Tigh scene is one of my favorite things ever :)
Nothing to do with us

Date: 2011-09-29 01:36 pm (UTC)Is Kara's little joke a keeper?
The Big Reveal
Date: 2011-09-29 01:44 pm (UTC)Do you think it's better to find out about their love-making in one go during the Adama-Chief fight (UBEX) or do you rather watch the short-cut scenes interjected into Kara and Lee's boxing match (UB)?
Re: Conjugal visit
Date: 2011-09-29 02:01 pm (UTC)That kinda sums up my feelings about this scene and the entire episode of UB and UBEX. it makes me sick to my stomach (either version) that she is with that worthless character (yes I am still bitter, yes I am full of vitriol for Anders, yes I still hate rdm's guts)in anyway, and then it gets worse as the ep progresses an we see what happened. It feels like I am having my skin flayed off watching Kara be so incredibly stupid and evil by utterly destroying any happiness with Lee after they had what made my heart soar that finally FINALLY they got there shit together and just let their love happen.
Did I go to far?
