Daily Pilots Post: Pilots Spam!

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Hi 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 dearworkerbee73 and devote this Friday's PPD to…

PILOTS SPAM!!

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).

You know, it's been more than a year since the finale and there's not a day that I don't think of them (and rewatching eps makes me sad, too). I dunno, I guess someday I will do that big rewatch I still need to do and will come to terms --as much as that's possible-- with the whole damn thing. Hopefully.

And I agree that one of the best things pilots brought to my life has been fandom... I wish I'd discovered it sooner, when the show was still airing and there was all that squee floating in the air.

Love yours pics and that Raptor gif! --and I agree, there was something mesmerizing about pilots in "Scar", they kill me (aw, and love that pic with little Lee --not that little, no--, he gets so excited... and understandably so *g*)

I propose we all take a week off work and get together to do the full rewatch together. I don't know though...the world might not be able to function without K/L shippers for a week...we're pretty special. :)
