DPP: In the beginning...

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Good morning, Shipper Nation.  Welcome to day two of my reign of terror the land of rainbows and kittens.  I have one question for you:


How did those crazy kids meet?

Disregard the lame-ass flashbacks in Daybreak for a moment.  I know that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU has their own version in their head of how Kara and Lee met.  So guess what, peeps?  I want to hear it.
 
Was it funny? Angsty? Silly? Did sparks fly? Was it the traditional rom-com meetcute or a full-out confrontational exchange? Did the earth move and angles weep?  Did they know each other as kids?  Meet at the Academy?  Attend band camp together?


Whatever it is, I need to know, so spill, m'kay?  *g*

NOTE:  For purposes of this discussion, I'm asking you to forget about the DB flashbacks and go back and remember what your theory was before we were bombarded with all that.  (Not just because of the controversial table scene but because the meeting and subsequent early interactions of K/L deserve their OWN FRAKKING MINISERIES-- NOT FIVE MINUTES IN A HASTILY-WRITTEN FINALE.)

I love all of this. I agree, I think K met Z first. Otherwise, I doubt there would've been K/Z if there was already K/L. Also agreed that K/L became good friends...sparring and joking and being the best pilots around...through their K/L/Z interactions.

And YES they remind me of Elizabeth and Darcy too. Both so intelligent and coy and amazed that they love each other as much as they do b/c it would be so much easier to hate each other. ;)

It's great to hear from you, thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the P & P connection ~ I think it's just something about the way that these people's extremely different manners mask a fundamental similarity of mindset...it's fun to watch them realize that they are kindred spirits.

I love the Darcy/Elizabeth connection too! The push and pull nature of their relationship certainly reminds me to Kara and Lee. So compelling. It is so true that despite being apparent opposites, deep down pilots are so much alike.

Agreed, Rachel and Cosette. I adore stories of kindred spirits finding love with one another despite superficial differences or societal norms. I also love the intelligence of the banter back and forth that both Lizzie/Darcy and Kara/Lee share. What can I say? Intelligence is hot!! (BTW, yes, Jamie Bamber, my last sentence applies to you too!!)

Also, Rachel, I've been loving your comments and am so glad you've joined in the fun! May I friend you?
