DPP: Razor

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

Hey guys,

 First, a HUGE thank you for the fantastic Kara/Lee picspam yesterday. It made me so happy to see everyone aglow with shipper love. Yes, I am sappy that way. :P

 And now, for today’s infusion of pilot!goodness, I bring you pics, thoughts, and questions from Razor. I’m not sure if we are watching tonight or not…TPTB will tell us soon I’m sure…but I think it’s next in line. Even though pilot interaction is somewhat secondary to Cain and Kendra’s journeys, Razor still brings out some interesting pilot-related themes. So here goes with pics first and questions to follow.  (I feel all English teacherish with the questions.  Feel free to talk about anything you want; the questions are just topics bouncing around in my head.)



Kara picks on Lee but she so has his back. Only Starbuck is allowed to pick on Apollo.
    

Kara and Lee with Kendra. I figured she deserved to be in the picspam.


Resigned pilots put the mission before their love in razor-like fashion.
 
 

I’m so transferring back to Galactica before you kill me. AKA let’s celebrate because we are both still alive to fight and frak another day!


 

1. Kendra starts Razor with these words…”You're born, you live and you die. There are no do-overs. No second chances to make things right if you frak them up the first time. Not in this life anyway.” How does her view of life fit with the hybrid’s “all of this has happened before and will happen again” cyclic logic?
2. Cain states that they must “be razors, as being human is a luxury”. How do our pilots (and Adama/Cain/Kendra/etc) accept/reject her philosophy? How does it guide their thoughts?
3. How does the passage of the razor from Cain to Kendra to Kara influence Kara? Is she a razor? Are Cain/Kendra better foils for Kara than other pilots like Kat or Racetrack?
4. Razor shows how we are all shaped by what we learn from the past. Adama, Cain, Lee, Kara, and Kendra base much of their life philosophies on events from their pasts. How do they/how do you decide which parts of the past to hold onto and what deserves to be let go?
5. What’s your take on the hybrid’s comments about humanity riding “on wings of an angel, not to an end but to a beginning” vs. his comment that Kara is the “harbinger of death and must not be followed”?
6. Do you think Lee fits as commander of a battlestar or is he just doing his perceived duty to live up to expectations?

I vote #3. Could we watch tonight earlier (10 EST?) and then re-watch on our new night? Maybe Friday? I'm cool with any night except Wednesday. I like the idea of Friday night re-watches because people can stay up for comment!fic - YAY!

ETA: Can some lovely shipper reply to this comment later with the final result (esp if tonight's time is earlier). I'm internetless all day and can only check email through my phone. *mwuh*
