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).

I realized how obsessed I was when I was heartbroken by the finale. I felt like a member of my family had died and I was sad and crying(even at work) for a week... I was just going through the motions of life. It's like when someone you love dies, the wound heals but the scar will always be there; it's the same way with pilots.

Yes, this. I watched the finale with my best friends and afterwards I was in shock...I mean really in shock--anger, despair, hurting. They just kinda got up and moved on to the next activity and I just sat there in silence.

Granted, I knew we weren't going to get "happy ever after", but I honestly did not expect it to be pigeons-and-poofing catastrophically bad.

OMG!! Yes, I think I sat there for at least 10 minutes after it was over just hoping that there was more because our Kara just hadn't poofed on Lee after everything. She came from the dead for him.

I honestly thought at one point that they would go out in a blaze of glory in their vipers in the last battle. I knew we would never get the bright shiny future with white picket fence and rugrat but I was hoping that they would take a step towards it.

I still get devastated just thinking about how brutally they butchered our pilots. My heart aches for them and us.
