Daily Pilots Post: Ideal Episode

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

Happy Saturday, all! Wow, the round robin was so much fun to see develop yesterday! And please, if you feel so inclined, keep the post going!

Today's topic: Tell me how your ideal episode would have played out. Who would have been in it and who would not? Would it have been an actiony ep or something more character driven? Etc. etc. Be as general or as specific as you want.

Because "oh boy, after all this, she gets the right man." *sigh*

But with all due respect...it wasn't about Kara getting a man, or to walk into the sunset. It should have been about Kara NEEDING LEE. SPECIFICALLY. Because she needed him, and he needed her. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Their whole relationship on the show underlined that need. How they needed each other first as fellow pilots and friends, and to work together and fight together and shepherd the other pilots together, and finally as lovers and support systems. In s4.0 every small moment they had together underlined how much they believed in each other and supported each other and yes, needed each other's love and support. So an ending that didn't pay that off for them, that basically left them okay with parting ways with each other for good, with no hint that they would soon circle back to each other, felt very disingenuous and in direct contrast to what their story had always been.

Well as I said to sfs they didn't really show that elsewhere in the finale. Yes they showed it in Islanded but the finale as a whole? We had the table scene. If we just got something about needing each other and yes I could buy an ending about them needing each other. But there was no hint of partnership in the finale. It was all on her. In which case ending up with Lee reads strangely. I think the structure of the three hours as a whole would make a romantic ending odd.

Exactly why that finale (for me) was all kinds of wrong. It turned its back on everything the show had been doing.

The entire thing needs restructuring. I agree. A lot of it needs changing. See above re: Scar and Sacrifice
