Pilot hugs mean a lot of different things: thank the gods you're alive, I missed you, I forgive you, I trust you, and I love you. Pilots use physical affection (and eyefrakking) to express all of the things they never say in words. The two scenes below bookend the pilot experience for me. The Home hug and kiss, the first we see in the series, takes everyone (including Kara and Lee) by surprise. The brig kiss, the final important kiss for me, evokes painful longing, relief, separation, and, above all else, deep love and affection. It's painful and beautiful at the same time.


 
 
 
What is your favorite piloty affection? Please provide evidence. :D

My love of pilot!hugs has been well documented, but I think these two might be my favorites:

Hmmm... Favorite moments of affection...

I think the hug he gives her when she comes back from the dead ranks right up there among the top moments for me. Everyone and everything else disappeared for a split second. It's the Home hug/kiss all over again, but somehow with more weight and depth.

Yes, ITA. I love that Lee pushes everyone out of the way to get to Kara. It's the perfect example of unconditional love: he doesn't care for one second if she's cylon or whatever. He is just thrilled that she's back.

I loved that you could hear his boots *pounding* across the deck and pushing through peopleto get to her - it was just awesome.

I WANT MY PILOTS TO PLAY IN THE SUN AND GRASS ALL THE TIME.

Me too!! I love pilots at play! :)

And just think how much love they had for one another that it could override the worries at the end of the worlds and give them small moments of joy like this one. <333

I just realized too...and I don't want to stir things up...but I don't remember any of these moments of pure joyful play with K/S. (I don't mean pyramid, but childish play.) Even K/Leoben played in the paint and such, but K/S never seemed to play. I guess maybe that's part of why K/L always seemed so strong in comparison to their other relationships. It's the little moments...finger painting, water fights...that make K/L poignant and real.

YES, THIS!

I came *this close* to putting this scene as my favorite, because... So happy and carefree and just... happy! I love them like this. And finger painting. Finger painting is good, too.

Such a great topic!

I love their hug/fumble in UB after the "I miss you/I miss you, too". I just love the way the hang on to each other like if they let go, the whole event wouldn't be real.

I just adore how they need to touch to make it a reality because sometimes their fights are so epic; they wonder if thier making up was real.

I also like the hug in Roslin's "dream" where they're hugging by her bedside.

Yes, forgot about that one. I remember I thought she looked a little pregnant and was so excited by that future.

That proves it, Roslin was a Kara/Lee shipper!

I just realized the implication of the fact that it's a dream sequence... therefore Roslin must realize their feelings for each other.

I love them all but if I had to pick a few favorites the Six of One brig scene is definitely up there because they just poured every ounce of affection and emotion into their kiss and their words. You just knew no matter what they had to let each other know how they felt even when they had other obligations keeping them apart. Don't get me started on the level of awesome that is the extended scene when Lee gives Kara the Aurora figurine back. My anger factor with RDM goes up +20 when I think about it getting cut.

I also really like the finger painting scene because they're cute and adorable and FINGER PAINTING. hee! When Papa says someone has to clean up the spilled paint and they both point at each other and then kind of swat at each other...its sweet and homey affection that they show between them. <3

The memorial hallway scene is also high on the affection list just because there is face touching and long loving looks and Kara just smiles the most beautiful smile at the end because of what Lee says. It's pure love. *sigh*

I'm at work or else I would post gifs/pics!

The Home hug and the Captain's Hand hug are my most favourite hugs. I love all of them, their hugs were so full of meaning, that kind of physical contact spoke louder than a thousand words.

Here's another one:

I think one of the best things about pilots is that even when they are just holding hands, it is the most romantically epic and affectionate thing ever!
