Daily Pilots Post: Pilots Spam!
Apr. 30th, 2010 10:34 amHi friends! First of all, I want to thank you all for your participation and wonderful comments --yesterday's essays contributions were fantastic, all of them--, you are absolutely the best! :D So, after a whole week of discussion, thinky thoughts and porn, I’ve just realized that there’s barely been any squee this week! (my fault, I tend to get lost in fic and meta). Tomorrow I will be back torture you with more introspection –sorry, in two days it will be over, heh!--, but today I am going to emulate our dear
workerbee73 and devote this Friday's PPD to…
Bring your questions, general love, musings, squee, pics, gifs -- whatever you want! Let’s have fun because it’s FRIDAY!!!
And here is my first contribution to the party… I was doing some catch-up with all the DDP posts and comments earlier today, and just read this observation
lapsedprof made days ago:
“My husband's theory - based on some commentary stuff and his intuitive understanding of RDM and crew - is that to RDM, Kara is the girl you want but can never have. So there's some lethal resentment projected onto her (slut!) - and on to those who do get to have her (shot in the head and incinerated by the sun; made irrelevant, dismissed, and abandoned). And - it just occurs to me - let's not forget who gets the porch-swing ending - the very man she sexually humiliated in the most cringeworthy way. It's just a theory - but I see it as another way to get at the madonna/whore stuff that innibis has mentioned and that I slapped me in the face during the finale.”
Dudes, this is pretty brilliant and makes perfect sense, right?
ETA. I do actually have a question for today… lol How have pilots changed your RL? What’s been their impact on your life? When did you realize you were obsessed with them? I am curious about stuff like that :).
(Myself, I think the first time it really, really hit me the depth of my emotional attachment to them was that period after the finale, when I spent a whole week crying and I couldn't tell anyone why I was so down –because honestly, who was supposed to understand the whole thing? Thank God I found my particular self-help group in LJ).

It's just pure speculation, but it's an interesting theory from a psychological perspective (and frankly, I always thought RDM projected some of his fantasies/kinks/whatever upon Kara --remember that comment about her being a tomcat and his attraction to unfaithful women?).
JB also wants to write and produce. Wants to write an episode, correct? Write, produce, be the hero and make out with the hot girls?
I always wondered what happened to that ep Jamie wrote...
