no_takebacksHi 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 observationlapsedprof 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).

Date: 2010-04-30 09:42 pm (UTC)I liked the idea of Lee going into politics, but as it played out it was a weak storyline. It could've been an interesting place to bring back the tension between civilian and military ships, for instance. I would have liked to see more with Lee interacting with ordinary RTFF folks, for one, not just with the Quorum. Campaigning and baby-kissing, even. Who wouldn't want to shake hands with such a charming candidate? *g*
(or for that matter, more scenes with Laura. They could have debated her Madame Airlock style with Lee's, um, President Airlock style? hee.)
But I think we can all agree that as the series went on there was bad blood between Jamie and the hairstylist. That dead squirrel hair, my gods! (okay, okay, I kid because I love, sometimes I liked the long hair... Very occasionally.)
