Doomed Couples We Love

[jeebs83.livejournal.com]

Sorry if this isn't the place to post, but Entertainment Weekly just posted an article entitled '18 Doomed TV/Movie Couples We Love" and Kara and Lee were included in the list. Here's the write-up:

Lee Adama and Kara Thrace (Jamie Bamber and Katee Sackhoff) in Battlestar Galactica

Apollo and Starbuck just had to be meant for each other. Doesn't matter if she is engaged to his brother, or if he's her new boss, or if robots pull a genocide on humanity and leave them as two of the last people alive in the universe. These two Viper pilots regularly saved each other's lives — and then made those lives hell. They didn't have much to look forward to, and affairs of galactic importance always seemed to get in the way of their romance. But sure, they've got time to go a round in the ring! What with their push-pull-push chemistry, her disappearance, reappearance and disappearance again, we knew they weren't meant to be but damned if we didn't want them to be.—Darren Franich

That's the best Pilots!OTP write-up I've read that originated outside of LJ. Thanks for sharing! (and your icons still rock that ship, jeebs!)

Our OTP is one for the ages....try 150,000 yrs and counting perhaps!

Love the write-up! Pilots were epic and true soulmates... how anyone can't see how much they loved each other baffles me.

Saw this a few days ago.

We have been and always will be right about our pilots.:)

Finally EW shows some recognition. I really really wish they'd gotten a cover--pretty pics woulda come out of that photo shoot for sure...

Saw this today and scanned it specifically to see if K/L were on there. They're the perfect example of couples we loved (and were also doomed :P).

Someone posted a link to this article in their LJ, but I'm glad you posted it here too. It is nice to be vindicated sometimes. Pilots are epic and everlasting.
