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).

also think that although nobody was told about Katee's supposed disappearance at first, they all knew about it by the time Maelstrom was done filming (which was several weeks before the podcast was recorded.)

I saw an interview with Katee where she felt really bad and basically thrown under the bus by the producers about this whole thing. She was saying that they TOLD her to "act" upset that her character was dying/leaving the show and to not let anyone know, etc. and after the general outcry (apparently EJO totally lost it), the prods went back to her with a WTF attitude kinda blaming her for laying it on so thick and making everyone believe that she was really leaving the show.

PS I love Lee in politics too :-)
