Because there's no takebacks...
Do 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,

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. :)

Oh, and don't feel too down about your father... None of my closest friends/family love the show as much as I do (well, they are sort of indifferent about it). My hubby likes the show -especially Lee- but he is not fannish about it (and he dislikes Kara, which is **painful**). And recently I "converted" my brother and his girlfriend... I thought everything was ok until my bro's girlfriend told me that she was... a Kara/Sam shipper!! Sigh. So, so depressing. No RL K/L squee **sobs**
Heh. I got rambly, as usual. In short, hope you'll be here the 4th of July!!! ;)
