no_takebacksDo you miss pilots? Do you miss their legendary eye-frakking, bantery, bickering and general awesomeness? Do you want to forget Pigeons of Doom, near-fraks on the table and poofings? Your shippy heart needs to be mended after the BSG finale? Or maybe you were satisfied with Kara and Lee’s ending but you are a pilots junkie in desperate need of your K/L fix? If your answer to any of those questions is a loud yes, you’ve found the right place ;)
Welcome to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
no_takebacks ! This is a re-watching community for the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series. BUT from a different perspective. And what does make us different?, you may wonder. Well, this is a piloty and shippy rewatch, which means that our main interest from now on will be the lyrically epic, gloriously frakked-up and undeniably hot romance between our favorite hotshot viper pilots, Kara and Lee, Starbuck and Apollo. Needless to say, if you don’t like the pairing that’s definitely not the site you are looking for…
We will be featuring one episode per week including all sort of piloty and shippy stuff. And we want to encourage your participation: thinky meta, thought-provoking discussions, picspams, hair reports and all kind of pilotician goodness will be welcome!
The episode of the week will kickoff with a discussion post on Saturday (for more details, check out our schedule below). And once this post is up all members will be welcome to make episode-related postings throughout the week. We intend the discussion post to be of the meta-ish and “serious” variety, but that will be subject to change depending on our feelings towards the episode––I mean, really, do we need deep thoughts about "Final Cut" and the Apollo-in-a-tiny-towel-while-Kara-is-ogling-his-glorious-ass scene?––I vote, er, no ;). Of course, participation is completely voluntary, but we'd love to have your contribution… So if you simply drop in and comment now and then or post lengthy metas every episode, it’s up to you. The more, the merrier… And anything will be muchly appreciated!!!
Our discussions will begin on July 4th and we provisionally plan to go through the first two seasons. As we are not sure if you will be willing––and psychologically prepared––to cross the line of S3, we have decided to leave this issue for later on... So when the right time comes, we’ll take a poll to discuss this topic. On a personal note, though, I’d love to discuss “Unfinished Business”... It is my all time BSG favorite episode and I can’t conceive pilots without it. But S3 is far away, so let’s see how the rewatch goes...
8/01/09
(due to unavoidable and personal reasons ––namely, one of us is going on vacation––the YCGHA entry will be posted on Wednesday instead of Saturday)
8/15/09: Season 1. Litmus & Six Degrees of Separation
(we’ll combine those because they are not very K/L-centered)
9/26/08: Season 1. Kobol's Last Gleaming. Part 2
10/3/09: Season 2.
11/07/09: Season 2. Home. Part 2
11/14/09: Season 2. Final Cut
12/05/09
So that’s all for now! Thanks again to everyone for participating in the comm, and please comment here if you have any questions/suggestions (or simply if you want to say ”hi” ;)). We hope all of you will have fun sharing your shipper addiction and re-discovering pilots and their imperfectly beautiful, yet beautifully perfect relationship.
Your dedicated mods,

Date: 2009-06-22 11:09 pm (UTC)As for watching S3? I vote a big fat NO. I refuse to watch Kara/Sam or Lee/Dee or the Quad of Doom or the stupidity of killing off Kara. Although I will miss the last three episodes. Oh well.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-22 11:19 pm (UTC)And S3... Dude, I don't know, it seems too far away. I'd love to rewatch UB because it is my fave episode of any show ever but the QoD is awful and eps like Taking a Break from All Your Worries, featuring Emo!Lee in alkl his glory... Guh.
Btw, why are you here, Pali? LOL!

Date: 2009-06-23 02:03 pm (UTC)I have actually be re-watching S1 as I just introduced the series to my S-I-L. We've already watched up to "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" (not my fav, but I'll watch anything BSG). I had forgotten (well not really) how much I truly love K/L. It will be so great to discuss the exact moments when you can actually see Apollo realize he's in love with Starbuck (and vice versa).
Squeee! Great idea. I'm totally in!

Date: 2009-06-23 05:16 pm (UTC)Hello Shippers! I'm ready for the rewatch, I've been BSG-free since 3/20 and it's time to reclaim my show and watch my hot pilots.
I don't know how much I'll offer by way of thinky meta but I'm looking forward to a group watch and going back in time to the episodes that made me a shipper.

Date: 2009-06-24 12:07 am (UTC)I bugged my dad forever to watch the mini. He is very picky with his tastes and we usually don't like the same things but he was a Marine and served on a battleship for a good amount of time. I thought for sure BSG would suit him. But for some reason every time I brought it up to him he would say, "that show from the 70s?" Gah! No dad. It's a new version. I don't know how many times we had that exact same exchange.
So yesterday, he finally watches it....like totally out of the blue. I asked him how he liked it and he said, "It sucks ass." *rolls eyes* He felt it dragged way too much. And now that I think about it the first time I saw the mini I thought it was kinda slow but I had a much more open mind about it. Last time I talk him into watching anything.
Whoa, didn't mean to go on a long rant about it. Sorry. Hee. Thanks for setting up this community. Hopefully I'll be ready come the 4th of July. :)

I'll miss Water (I'm going on holidays) but I think I'll be back for Bstille Day (I cannot miss when the Bamceps come out to play ;P).
Thanks for putting it together! ♥

But I will definitely butt in and comment and chat since I really only the remember the piloty stuff from the episodes well.
Go Rewatch!

Date: 2009-07-09 11:35 am (UTC)We just started the miniseries last week, and this Saturday, Cosette will be posting about 33, so perfect timing! I think a lot of us missed out on watching the series in real time (or the early parts, at least), so we're really excited about being able to watch it together (and with lots of pilot squee!)
*squees and purrs* at the chance to join the pilot love comm
Date: 2009-07-22 10:31 am (UTC)So...i found bsg late (fall of 2008) and watched the entire series in ~2months, both b/c i fell in love with kara and to be ready for 4.5 in real time. (Considering how 4.5 went for kara and k/l, don't know if that was the best plan, but anyhow...) i lurked on the skiffy forums (esp the k/l shippers thread) as karanymph and generally get my k/l fixes from rewatches of classic k/l epis (UBEX being my favorite), reading fanfic, and floating around youtube (as feline nymph) expanding my k/l vid collection.
i'm super excited to be able to do a k/l rewatch (is there any other kind?) with you guys even though i'm coming into it a bit late.
Thanks for setting up the comm...it's beautiful and a great chance for bonding and post-poof therapy!!

Re: *squees and purrs* at the chance to join the pilot love comm
Date: 2009-07-22 12:02 pm (UTC)I discovered BSG pretty late too (fall of 2007) and I fell for pilots immediately (I marathoned the first 3 seasons in about 2 months too). And then I lurked for over a year and *finally* I decided to start my own journal because pilots had become an obsession (and they still are, despite the awful ending and the poof and all the tears after the finale ;)).
So just let you know that we are glad you are rewatching with us! Please drop by whenever you feel like it! (as you say, this is the best therapy to get over the finale :))
