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,

Why? Am I not supposed to be here? I guess it's like Tara said, I show up where you least expect. ;P
As for Europe, I will be going to Paris, Amsterdam, and Belgium as part of a summer program thingy.
I can't really explain why I don't like AoC. It just doesn't sit well with me and I haven't watched it since before S2.5 because of my dislike for it. I know it's all Kara-centric, but... Gah, I don't know. Maybe by the time I return from Europe I'll be able to elaborate.
And hey! Don't you go dissing Emo!Lee! He's just misunderstood and very sensitive. (I feel sorry for Pilots' son, inheriting those traits. Poor thing.)
The QoD is like a certain questionable food product called SPAM. You will hear more on this when I post the pilots essay. :D
And I don't want to rewatch UB or UBEX because it just makes me furious with Kara and makes me want to throw pointy objects at her. And I don't think that would be a welcome reaction. All the hardcore Kara girls would murder me.

Oh, and you are not coming to Barcelona... What a shame ;). Paris, Amsterdam and Belgium are great -I especially adore Paris. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
And I believe you should rewatch AoC... It is the ep that made me fall in love with Kara (and Katee's performance there is amazing, imo). And girl, you know I *adore* Lee... But when he turns on his emo mode... Ugh (and now the first scene that comes to my mind is the one of "Taking a Break...", when he is all drunk and crying because he's lost his wedding ring... Ugh. **shivers**
I'm looking forward to your pilots essay!!!! :D When do you plan to post it?
UB and Kara... It is a thorny matter, but I ***adore*** that ep. It is perfect in all their frak-upness... Your reaction reminds me of my hubby's, though. He started disliking Kara after this ep and he never understood why she left Lee and married Anders. Sigh. It frustrates me.
(And I'm going to sleep right now... I'm exhausted ;))

I love my lurker streak as well. I am the queen of all of lurkerdom. ;)
Aw, thanks for the congratulations! It was much easier than I thought it would be to hit (and go beyond \o/) my goal.
I am still awaiting official recognition of all my epic commentaries. *pokes Bee and Tara*;PYeah, I guess I should rewatch, but it's just - *sigh* I don't want to rewatch that episode. And it's hard to get me to rewatch something if I don't want to. As for my darling Leemo, sweetie, I was joking. ;D I get fed up with it sometimes too. And ugh, the hallway scene in TaB... DO NOT WANT.
My pilots essay is fighting me! Okay, not really, I'm just being lazy and not working on it. I'm really hoping I can finish and post it before the rewatch. Or at the very least before I go to Europe.
I am in complete agreement with your hubby, girl. I still have trouble understanding why the hell Kara married Anders, and I've read ten different meta posts on UB. Grrr. I don't know if I'll ever get over how badly she fumbled their relationship.
(To be fair, Lee's done his fair share of fumbling too. But still.)
Awww, sleep well, bb! :)
