Bright Side

[sugarhaven.livejournal.com]

A lot of people around here are not particularly fond of RDM mainly because for what he did to the pilots at the last season. He has also been accused (based on his interviews and commentaries) of never truly being interested in the Kara/Lee relationship and never wanting to see them together. But is it really true? Are we fair to RDM and the rest of the BSG creators? Why would they give us such an amazing love story if they simply didn't care?

I want you to try to forget all the negative that's been said and focus only on the bright side. Is there anything positive that you like that any of the BSG crew (writers, directors or actors) or anybody outside of this fandom ever said about the pilots? If so, please share with us snippets of reviews, comments, commentaries etc. that you are fond of and help us forget all the bad stuff. 
You can find audios and transcripts of RDM's podcasts here.

Jamie Bamber on Lee & Kara in S4

"Q:Any more sex in the works for Lee and Kara?

A:You know, it doesn’t have to be the act of sex for sex to be in the air between them. I think there’s always that tension, there’s always the knowledge of previous aborted attempts at whatever passes for their relationship, however weird and screwed up it is."

"Q:We haven’t seen a lot of them together this season.

A:No, we haven’t and that’s just sort of indicative of the story. They really have done everything short of get married and divorced or have a kid or whatever. And so I think the writers have been less involved with that one this year."

"Q:It’s cool that the writers don’t exploit that relationship, even knowing how much the audience likes it. But I assume we will see them paired up more in the second half of the season.

A:Yeah, you will. You'll get a bit more."

"Q:Last week, the Admiral really divulged the extent of his feelings for Roslin. Do you feel like Lee’s connection with Kara is similar?

A:Yeah I do. I think it’s getting more mature. He’s already expressed his love for her and he's said everything that needs to be said, and they’ve consummated it physically, and there were problems, and then they had an affair. There’s nothing that hasn’t been stated about it, and yet there’s so much implicit guilt about their relationship with the adultery and the dead brother. They’re almost siblings, so it’s almost incestual at a certain point. And militarily, it’s probably not according to protocol either. But in season four, I think their relationship is, in a way, even more screwed up because Lee thinks she’s died and come back to life, and there's a strange acceptance in him that he doesn’t really care if she's a Cylon or whatever she is. He knows something weird happened, because he saw her explode. And I think that maybe changed the relationship and made it more platonic in a way and much more spiritual, because they understand that there’s always going to be a connection between them, without having to be in each other’s pockets or dominate each other’s lives as was the case up to that point. And it’s weird. It's definitely a weird relationship in season four."
