SATURDAY Rewatch my lovelies...

So it seems this week has been a crazy one for K/L shippers everywhere...so how better to end an insane week with the craziness of a creepy Leoben epi??  Come on out for Flesh and Blood at 11:30 GMT.  This epi sketches me out b/c well, it's not okay to torture people...er, Cylons...er, anyone!!...so I kinda cringe when watching Kara at work.  I try to tell myself that at least she still had a real plotline and was still ALIVE...and well, I hate to say it, but I'd almost rather watch Kara with Leoben than Kara with Sam...at least K/Leo and K/Lee have chemistry and never fall into the category of "boring".  Just my tired thoughts...after reading Bee's anonymeme, I'd just like to make the disclaimer that although chocolate is my fave, I still love people that eat vanilla and strawberry...so, to quote our girl, "let's all be friendly".  See ya after some sleep...xoxox

I love the way this ep puts Kara and Laura at a counterpoint.

Kara tortures him mercilessly but in the end she argues for his life. Laura condemns the waterboarding but then ruthlessly has him executed.

yes! It's been a long time since I watched this epi, but the part that always sticks with me is Kara praying for his soul at the end.

Yeah. I'm totally with Kara and not Laura the whole way. I think maybe it's cos Laura tells Kara off for the torture with the implication that it's "inhumane" and nasty, but then after she gets what she wants from Leoben with the "good cop" routine she says kill him, he's only a machine anyway.

Whereas Kara starts out with the belief that he's a machine, so torture is okay and no big deal (and says this to Laura, only to be chastised for her methods) but then when he gives the information (acting in good faith, to her mind) she seems kind of horrified they are going to kill him anyway.

So, in summary, Kara becomes merciful while Laura becomes merciless.

Is this the first Laura-Kara interaction?

Yes they are arguing at cross-purposes, yet they are coming from the same assumptions that the Scrolls/Gods micro-manage their own destiny and are talking to them.
