DPP: Oh, No, They Didn't (ONTD)
Well, shippers, this is my last DPP for this week. Thank you all for so much squeeing, thinking, and commenting with me. Driving this train is fantastic. *MWUH*
Now, onto the business at hand. Most of the week has been devoted to squeeable topics like UST, eyefrakking, outmaking, and birthday celebrations. Today, I'm bringing a little more angst to the mix.
There were countless opportunities for Kara and Lee to finally talk about their feelings and to straighten their shit out. Seems, though, every time they tried, something got in the way: Fate, Timing, Frakked up Missions to Caprica, Personal History, Guilt, Death, you know, the small stuff.
So my questions boils down to this: What are the most significant (or just your favorite) moments in the show where TPTB prevent our pilots from achieving their happily ever after? I don't mean RDM's late-series character annihilation, but instead the legitimate, even clever ways that the show kept us watching our pilots, just to see if they'd ever figure things out.
What were the moments that made you want to throw something at the TV (but also gave you that "oooh, this oughtta be good" smile)?
And let's keep it nice, shippers. This is intended to be both squeeable and angsty (if that's possible). Here is one of my favorites (in stills - my gif of this scene is broken):
Jealous!Lee...
Later....
AND THEN KARA GOES TO CAPRICA. HOLY FRAKKING LORDS OF KOBOL. Laura and her frakking prophecies, Lee and his too-angry-to-admit he's jealous. And "Gaius Frakking Baltar???" AAAAGGGGHHHH. Pilots, why do you do this to me???
What say you, shippers?

Colonial Day was huge for my fangirlness, as evidenced in this shameless pimping of my first K/L story (http://dread-pirate.dreamwidth.org/3305.html). I remember scanning the crowd for them while Papadama & Roslyn talked, and fussing over Lee looking lost, all by himself in the crowd, when Kara moved on to Gaius. And the fights in Kobol's Last Gleaming... So many chances for them to say what they weren't saying! I always wondered how exactly Lee KNEW she'd slept with Baltar. In my head, Gaius said more off camera. He had to for Lee to take the drunken card game conversation for anything other that Baltar being turned down. If you watch it and try to hear it from Lee's perspective, Baltar sounds dumped, not frakked-with-another-man's-name-on-her-lips.
And, of course, Scar. I loved, at first, that Lee put on the brakes because Kara seemed off. The fact that he cared enough to stop things was an excellent starting point, but then she deflected with the no us business. I'll admit though that my favorite moment was the slap-kiss. I still don't know what that kiss was FOR in her mind. Apology for the slap, one for the road because shirtless Lee is not something you just walk away from, just an involuntary reaction from still being hot and bothered? I had forgotten how the rest of the episode puts them right back to "normal". *sigh*
I could ramble all day about my love of pilots and their near misses.
